    Best Vendor to Work With

    Tia was our wedding angel. We met Tia when we ended up having to change our venue 2 months before our wedding. Tia helped me get everything in order on such short notice, and she kept me excited for my wedding throughout all the insane planning and last minute curveballs. The week leading up to the wedding, she kept me organized and calm, giving me lots of tips and advice. And at our actual wedding, she was there every second to make sure everything was perfect. She is a gift to everyone around her and I can honestly say our wedding wouldn’t have happened without her! She took so much of the stress away and my wedding turned out gorgeous because of her.

    Capstone Occasions's reply:

    I am so happy that we ended up planning together - my only wish (as I have said many times) is that we had started together sooner so that you could have so many more wonderful planning memories. In the end, it was a spectacular day and I feel very fortunate to have two wonderful new friends from it! XO- Tia

    Amazing!

    So you did it, your engaged and it’s time to start planning. Your first smart decision was finding your sole mate, your second smart decision is reading this review and contacting Tia!!! We met Tia at DC Estates Winery when checking out venues and found out she was included in the package. We had no idea on how to plan a wedding and we both have fast pace careers that limited our time. Tia was the absolute best thing to have ever happened to us. Our first meeting left us amazed as she genuinely wanted to get to know us and find out what’s important to us. From there she kept us on track with goals and timelines, kept the process fun and stress level extremely low. We looked forward to our planning meetings, which always left us heading home smiling and excited for our day. Never in a million years did we think planning a wedding could be so much fun. By the time our day came, EVERYTHING was perfect, absolutely blown away with how it turned out and the key to this was Tia. She expertly put the plan into motion and kept everything on time. Even when a brief rain shower appeared mid ceremony, out of no where she pulls out umbrella’s to save the day. I work in the fire service and leadership is key in our field. I have never seen anyone lead as well or effective as she does, not only with her staff but clients as well. Tia is no longer known to us as our wedding planner, she is a friend and we are forever great full to have had her on our team for our big day!!! Make contacting Tia your second smartest decision, you won’t regret it!!!

    Capstone Occasions's reply:

    I don't even know where to begin with this as you and Jessica stole my heart from our very first meeting. I loved how calm and organized you were and how I could read into Jessica's emails and texts with her late night questions. How you two bounce off each other is the perfect compliment to the perfect relationship and your love is certainly reflective of that. Becoming friends with the both of you has been such and honor and I can't wait until we get to spend time together again. XO - Tia

    Would hire Tia again over and over

    Tia is the absolute BEST. I really cannot even begin to describe the ways she went above and beyond to make our day everything we wanted and more. She thinks about every single detail and makes the planning process such an enjoyable time. I rarely felt stressed with planning because Tia took care of communication with vendors, floor plans, decoration details, and anything we needed/wanted help with. Her organization is insane, and she thinks of even the smallest details that elevate your wedding experience. From making sure we followed our timeline to accommodating our unique food stations to making sure no one saw me before I walked down the aisle, she took such great care of us. She has tons of experience and helped us plan our day down to the minute. She was easy to communicate with and even met with us outside her work hours to finalize details leading up to our day. If you want to enjoy your wedding planning experience, HIRE TIA!!! My husband and I have said SO many times that our wedding would not have gone the way it did without her. We love her and are so thankful she made our dream wedding happen!

    Capstone Occasions's reply:

    Thank you so much Halle - your ideas and vision were so beautiful and fun to bring to life. AND on top of it, you two are just two amazing people. I can't wait until we are able to hang out again! XO-Tia
