Lindsay has been in the events industry for years and has overseen hundreds of successful events. Her attention to detail and ability to handle any situation that arises with grace and ease allows her couples to relax and enjoy their wedding day. Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

We truly had the most incredible experience with our planner, Kay. She stepped in two months out from our wedding and took over every piece of communication, coordinated everything behind the scenes, and ensured that everything was 100% ready before our wedding day. On our wedding weekend she was absolutely incredible. She was so thorough and efficient in coordinating each piece of our day. She was so patient and understanding and handled things head on as they happened. She made sure everything went perfectly to plan and our timelines were executed perfectly. She also is the sweetest human and is so easy to talk to, she makes everyone feel super comfortable. She not only coordinated our entire day but also took so many behind the scene photos for us on our wedding day which were so fun to look at the next day. She can truly do it all! We would absolutely recommend hiring Simply Elegant Group for your wedding planning!

Let's face it, every couple needs wedding planning help and traditional full-blown wedding planning is super expensive! At The Venlist, we're providing a modern way for busy couples to get wedding planning help at a price point that fits their budget from coast to coast.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

Capstone Occasions

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Colona, IL

Hi! I'm Tia - Mom of 5 kids, 2 dogs and wife to the most supportive and amazing husband there is. In fact, you will often times find him carrying boxes, straightening linens, or even officiating from time to time. I started Capstone Occasions (aka-my crowning achievement) to help elevate your events to the top of your expectations. It could be a simple intimate affair to the grandest of parties, but whatever you are envisioning, it is my plan to execute it with every bit of intention and emotion that you have for it yourself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Capstone occassions made our wedding day absolute magic. I started the planning process on my own but got stuck and unmotivated because i felt overwhelmed/not entirely sure what was next. Tia jumped in and helped me get excited about the process again and accomplish the tasks in order of importance and made sure it was a day that both Mike (my now husband) and I envisioned and wanted to make it special for us. Because of her experience she has so many friends in the business. I appreciated she recommended vendors based on who the two of us are and what we were looking for and within our budget (and ways to save). She thinks about EVERYTHING! Things we never would have considered on our own. My favorite being the sunset photos of me and my husband. He doesn’t like pictures but he loved how they turned out. Not only that, she makes sure it’s a seamless process and day that’s stress free. My mom was so grateful to be able to let loose and relax and could not say enough about how instrumental Tia and her team were to make the day so beautiful and coordinating with all the vendors so we didn’t have to. Day before the wedding, I was honestly a mess and left our name tags at my office and a few other prints including labels and a mock up picture of what we were thinking. So, we had to last minute hand write the name tags and in a rush left unorganized and unlabeled bins for them to sort out. My brain was all over the place and it didn’t occur to me until too late but when we walked in, it was even better than I imagined. They really went the extra mile and made everything picture perfect. Our friends and family were so impressed and we’re still getting compliments to this day. Thank you Tia and the Capstone Occassions team! You are fun to work with, easy to get along with (even some of our craziest family members), hardworking, magician ninjas (for all the stuff you do behind the scenes we will never even know about- thank you). We are forever grateful for the best and happiest day of our lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of working alongside Lauren for Abby and Mike's wedding in Colorado. As a filmmaker and photographer who has worked with so many other vendors, I can honestly say that Lauren is one of a kind and is a brilliant wedding planner and day of coordinator. What I love most about Lauren is that she is so much more than her job title. She will serve you and your guests in any way that she can and she always puts others before herself. Lauren is hard working, has an eye for detail, deeply cares for people, and she knows how to take charge. Lauren thinks of the small details and always has your best interests in mind. She cares for details that as a bride or groom, you may not have time to focus on during your wedding day. I have to add that Lauren is also incredibly prepared. She has an entire emergency kit built up for any and all of your wedding day needs. I admire Lauren and her business because she is someone who does not settle and is always looking for ways to improve herself and her work. Lauren is a wonderful communicator as well. She made communication between myself and the other vendors completely seamless. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work alongside Lauren and I would choose to do so again and again if I could. I highly recommend working with Lauren and the rest of her team, they're absolutely amazing!

Hi! I'm Amber! I am a Creative Project Manager and Wedding Pro. I'm from St. Louis, MO and I have been working with couples across the state of Iowa for 3 years. I believe that every bride deserves to enjoy the wedding planning journey without stress or worry. If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, I would love to meet you and work with you. You can trust the "A" Team!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Alison did an exceptional job as the day of coordinator for my wedding! She was an excellent communicator, ia extremely organized in a way my mostly type-A brain needed, helped me work through things I hadn't even thought of leading up to the big day, and was instrumental in making our wedding and reception a smooth, seamless process. At least, it seemed like that to me I had nothing to worry or stress about the day of, and I have to give her credit for that! My biggest regret is not having found her sooner, because I would've loved her assistance in planning our wedding and helping with travel arrangements for our out of town guests. Thanks again Alison, you were an integral part in our big day!

Hiring Monarch Creative Events to assist with planning the wedding of our dreams was such an easy decision because of their professionalism, knowledge of the wedding industry, and their attention to details. We could not have planned our wedding without the help of Alexa and Sarah. They are truly the best. Throughout the entire wedding process, which was a long one for us (almost 18 months!), Alexa and Sarah were so detail-oriented, organized and communicated with us very well about each step and what we should be doing and looking forward to. They were both so supportive, engaging and FUN which eased my anxiety and nerves as we got closer to the date. Sarah was fantastic during the wedding weekend and let us know where to be and when! She was our lifesaver! I cannot recommend Monarch Creative Events enough, I am so grateful to them both for everything, bringing our wedding vision to life, and helping us navigate the details that I never would have thought of.

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to have Michaela help with some last-minute details for my sister's wedding, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Her attention to detail and ability to bring calm to the chaos were exactly what we needed. Now, seeing her officially launch her wedding planning business after planning her own wedding, I'm thrilled for future couples who get to work with her. Michaela is meticulous, dedicated, and truly has a talent for making everything run seamlessly. She’s exactly who any couple needs on their big day!

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!
