Courtney Caplan
Courtney attended the University of Texas at Austin, then got her start in event planning at Austin’s historic Driskill Hotel. She quickly moved up the ranks to direct the catering team and began to craft her “dream team” of event professionals — including Sarah Miller, who continues to work with her today. Together, this team engineered some of Austin’s most celebrated gatherings including more than 1,000 weddings, corporate events and social affairs for such esteemed clients as Gwyneth Paltrow, Willie Nelson, Lance Armstrong, Coldplay and Sylvia Weinstock.
Today, Courtney oversees client relations for Caplan Miller and continues to provide personalized, comprehensive planning and production services for weddings, benefits, parties and meetings. Her extensive experience in high-end event management, meticulous attention to detail and solid relationships with local vendors assure clients that their business is in good hands.
Courtney’s most recent accolades include planning the wedding of former University of Texas football star and current Cleveland Browns quarterback, Colt McCoy. Along with Sarah Miller, she also worked with producers of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” to create a dream wedding for an Iraq war veteran; the ceremony and reception were broadcasted during a February 2011 edition of the show.
To Courtney, event planning is about seeing the client’s vision become a reality — taking a special moment or a big day, and bringing it to life. It’s about listening and tailoring each decision — from lighting to transportation, flowers to food — to the client’s specific needs. Ultimately, Courtney strives to build events that make a lasting impression, leaving clients smiling and guests applauding.
