Stress-Free Weddings, Inc.

I’m your guide, advocate, and the creative force behind Stress-Free Weddings. With a rich tapestry of experience that spans years and a certification that marks my commitment to excellence, I've dedicated my life to the art of bringing wedding dreams to life. My philosophy? That every couple deserves a day free from stress, filled with the moments that matter most. It's not just about creating a beautiful events but honoring your love.

Brianne was AMAZING to work with! We were planning our wedding remotely (we live in TX and married in IL where I grew up) and we genuinely could not have pulled it off without her. She was constantly on the ball. If I texted her with a question or problem she was working on solutions within the hour, such as working with our dream caterer to ensure that we could have them at our wedding. Brianne took on extra work at the last minute to ensure all our details came together, including making our place cards so we did not have to, and driving by our hotel the morning of to pick up items that needed to be transported to the venue. She was definitely on us about getting things done in the leadup to the wedding (we needed this, so this was helpful!) but on the day of the wedding she truly made it so we were not personally stressing about anything. All our vendors who had worked with Brianne previously were excited to be working with her again, which tells you how respected she is in this area. We highly recommend hiring Brianne to help plan your wedding!

Hands down, the best investment we could have made for our wedding was hiring SEG. Especially since we were trying to plan a wedding in Chicago from Florida, we were lost in starting this journey. Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything. You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail that was given on the actual day and the curated timeline made it all seamless and gave us the opportunity to actually take in and enjoy the whole day with family and friends! We could write a book about how magical and perfect every aspect of the wedding turned out, how valued we felt over the planning process, or even how Alex went out of her way to make sure that the little details happened that you look back on now and deeply appreciate but it still wouldn't be enough to repay her for curating the wedding that we dreamed of.

Capstone Occasions 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,600
  • 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
One year later, my husband and I still find ourselves smiling every time we talk about our wedding day. It truly was the night of our lives — a dream we had envisioned for so long — and every single detail turned out exactly how we imagined it. And that’s entirely thanks to Tia. From the very first conversation, she made me feel at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with Tia, it never felt that way. She listened to every vision I described, every tiny wish I had, and somehow managed to take it all and make it even better. She was more than just a planner; she was a steady hand, a problem-solver, and a calming presence through the entire journey. There are moments from that day I will never forget — moments that perfectly capture why Tia is so incredible at what she does. Like when my welcome sign stand completely failed, and without hesitation, she pulled out her own stand that she had brought “just in case.” Or when the men’s boutonnieres went missing and, instead of stressing, she quickly and beautifully made five new ones right there on the spot. She’s the type of person who always has a plan B… and C… and D. On the wedding day, I remember glancing around and seeing her quietly making sure the venue was perfect — the tables were flawless, the DJ was ready, the photographer and videographer were in position to catch our most precious moments. She orchestrated the day so seamlessly that my husband and I were able to simply be present, soaking in every laugh, every tear, and every dance without a single worry. By the end of the night, we looked at each other and realized it had been perfect. Not “perfect” in the way people say just to be polite, but truly, deeply perfect — the kind of perfect that will stay in your heart for the rest of your life. Tia didn’t just plan our wedding; she created the space for us to live in the moment and make memories that we’ll cherish forever. Her preparation, creativity, and genuine care for her couples set her apart from anyone else I’ve ever worked with. If you want a wedding planner who will go above and beyond in ways you can’t even imagine, who will anticipate your needs before you know them yourself, and who will put her heart into making your day as magical as it can be — you need Tia. She made our dream a reality, and we are forever grateful.

Hiring Bailee was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding at Pazzo’s in Chicago. From the moment she arrived that morning, she brought such calm, positive energy that instantly made me feel at ease. She stepped right in and took complete control of the day in the most effortless way, making sure every single detail came together perfectly. Bailee managed all of our vendors with such professionalism and grace. When a few unexpected hiccups happened throughout the day, she handled each one so quickly and quietly that I didn’t even know there were any issues until after the wedding was over. She communicated with everyone clearly, kept us on schedule, and problem-solved with such calm confidence that it felt like everything just flowed naturally. She made sure our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception transitions were seamless and not once did I feel rushed or stressed. She also went above and beyond in the little ways that made such a difference. She checked in on me constantly, helped bustle my dress, fluffed my veil before walking down the aisle, made sure our décor looked exactly how I envisioned it, and even gathered all of our personal items at the end of the night so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She truly treated our wedding as if it were her own. Because of Bailee, we were able to be completely present and enjoy every single moment of our day. I didn’t have to worry about timelines, vendor arrivals, or any of the behind-the-scenes chaos that comes with a wedding. I just got to soak in every second, knowing she had everything under control. If you’re getting married in Chicago (or anywhere, honestly), do yourself the biggest favor and hire Bailee. She’s organized, kind, calm under pressure, and has such an incredible eye for detail. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and she played a huge part in making that happen. We’ll be forever grateful for her!

I worked with Lauren on a wedding in Colorado a few years ago and I know the bride LOVED working directly with her. The bride didn't have to worry about a thing the day of which was extremely helpful since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from out of state. Lauren was friendly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and ultimately a pleasure to work with. I am a photographer and spend the entire day with the wedding couple and it was so great to see the bride not have to worry about a thing the day of because she knew Lauren had it handled already. I have also attended a styled wedding photoshoot that Lauren and Mercedes hosted this year and that was also amazing! I was blown away by the details and overall theme to it and it made for some fantastic photos to add to my portfolio.

We hired Michelle Knutson for our November 2025 Palm Springs wedding and truly could not be happier with our experience. We had a fairly small event, so we went with the day-of-coordinator package. Michelle truly went above and beyond just the day-of coordinating. She coordinated a couple intros zooms, got in touch with our venue and all of our vendors beforehand and brought us solutions when we realized we were going to be rained on. The day of she was a straight shooter - direct and ran a tight ship. But she was also warm, friendly and upbeat. Her assistant even took care of my dog for me and made sure he was fed and walked! We are forever grateful to her and her team for making our day so special. 10/10 recommend!

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question!

From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.

I am struggling to find the words to describe how wonderful Brianna and Karin were for our wedding. They literally did it all. From our bouquets(!!!), to decorating, to handling logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly, they were above and beyond my expectations. I can 100% say our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without them. HIGHLY recommend Enchanted Weddings!!
