Expert advice, impeccably detailed & trustworthy wedding coordinator

We hired Capstone Occasions to coordinate our wedding day, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Tia was not only professional and organized but also genuinely invested in making our day flawless. She is incredibly well-connected with top-tier wedding vendors—catering, rentals, florals—you name it, she has a recommendation.
We chose the Final Touches Collection package, and I can’t recommend it enough if you want a smooth, stress-free wedding day. Tia and her team executed everything exactly as we envisioned. Months before our wedding, we met at our venue, and she provided invaluable advice on the timing of the day—even down to where the sun would be at different times to ensure our guests’ comfort and the best lighting for photos.
On the wedding day, their coordination was impeccable. Even though we had a set timeline, rain unexpectedly appeared in the forecast. Tia immediately adjusted our schedule, moved the ceremony up by 30 minutes, and got guests seated without a hitch. Meanwhile, her team discreetly relocated our outdoor bar to a sheltered area, transforming it into a cozy cocktail space. They handled so many details behind the scenes—many of which I probably don’t even know about—so that we never had to worry.
One moment I’ll never forget: I spilled red wine down the front of my white wedding dress (every bride’s nightmare!). Before I could even process what happened, Tia appeared with a stain remover and, within seconds, had it blotted away like magic.
If you're debating whether or not to hire a wedding coordinator, trust me—you absolutely need this one. Even with a small guest list (ours was only 50 people), there are countless details that need managing. Having Tia and her team meant we could be fully present, soaking in every moment, knowing they had everything under control.
Capstone Occasions turned our wedding day into an effortless, joyous experience. Five stars is not enough! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Capstone Occasions. From our first point of contact to the final moments of our wedding day, Tia went above and beyond to make both wedding planning and our wedding day unforgettable. Her attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills are exceptional.

As an out-of-state couple to the team, we were initially concerned about planning a wedding from afar, but Tia made the process easy! Tia provided us with unlimited opportunities to check in as needed throughout the planning process, making us feel supported every step of the way. She is incredibly communicative and made it a priority to ensure that every aspect of our wedding aligned with our personal vision.

It was so clear that Tia and her team are highly experienced and knowledgable. Her guidance throughout the planning process gave us the confidence that everything would turn out as intended.

On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing not just us but all of our guests to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about a single thing. Many of our guests commented on how beautifully everything came together, and we owe it all to Tia and her team.

If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect, we wholeheartedly recommend Capstone Occasions to any couple.
