~I can not say enough wonderful things about Kia and ESTOccasions. My husband was VERY hesitant about hiring (paying) a wedding planner because he is very frugal. The budget he set for us was a lot smaller than I expected, and since we were paying for most of it on our own, I had to adjust some expectations. I wanted an eco-friendly wedding - or as much as I could get with the budget we had. (I hate talking about money, but I can tell you, our budget was less than half of the CT average. Very hard to do a full blown organic wedding on that. . . .)We looked at some venues, we looked at some caterers, we looked online for all sorts of ideas. Nothing matched my vision and still fit in our budget. I had met Kia at the CT Bridal Event at UCONN, Storrs, CT, and really liked her. So, I pulled out my bag of cards from the event and sent her an email. We talked and eventually I convinced my husband to at least meet with her. We could just hire her for day-of-coordination to make sure everything ran smoothly. Well, that was my pitch anyway, and he agreed.After the first meeting, I was in, and so was he. We decided to hire her for full blown wedding planning! She told us (and showed us) that we could have a beautiful, elegant wedding on our budget, and still incorporate as many eco-friendly things as we wanted. She met with me regularly and was always available to me by email, and sometimes by text. I had a unique situation - all three of my bridal attendants were pregnant at some point during the engagement. On top of that, my matron of honor had dated the brother of my next in line gal, and the third gal married that same brother. These are my best friends, but since my MOH lives in Buffalo NY, the awkwardness was never a problem - until I decided to have them all in my wedding party. Kia was invaluable in helping me navigate this situation, and I counted on her to step in and take over if I needed her too. Luckily, her advice was perfect, and we managed to get these ladies together without any issues. They actually ended up as friends. . . . go figure!

~Planning a 100 person wedding in 3 months is no easy feat. I was not working and wanted to do it myself with my fiance. But when my parents asked who would keep the "flow" moving at the event and I didn't have an answer, and when I read horror stories about doing your own flowers and other disasters, I decided to hire a day-of planner to help out. When I met Kia casually at a Dunkin Donuts to discuss what she could offer, I was immediately sold, and wanted her to help for more than the day of. She made me feel at ease and not totally crazy given my timeline. Kia totally "got it" -- the casual outdoorsy ecofriendlyish vibe that we wanted to have for our event -- and she let me continue to do tons of planning while being there for suggestions, accompanying me to a tasting since no one else could come with me, and keeping me on task so that I'd actually have rings, a marriage license and other crucial details. She responded to my emails at all hours of the night. She researched my vendors to make sure they were reliable. She and her crew did a great job setting everything up and coordinating with the caterer.The only thing I wished I had known was that we were not going to do a true rehearsal to figure out things like exactly where to stand, because the wedding party was expecting it, and the parents got nervous. It all was fine in the end, but I did at one point sink into the mulch unexpectedly and had to switch places with my husband-to-be in the beginning of the ceremony, but perhaps Kia wanted to go with my casual vibe at the rehearsal and not do an all-out run thru. I have no doubt that if you are clear about what you want for this, as I was not, Kia can definitely help!I highly recommend Kia's services if you want an energetic, helpful, knowledgable, and calming force to help you get to and through the stressful event.

~My husband and I were having problems deciding where to get married and what kind of wedding we wanted. So I started looking for a wedding planner and I found Kia of ESTOccasions. Since I was going to be a destinion bride i was looking for someone to help me plan the perfect wedding, Now since were making the move to CT and didn't know much about the area Kia and her company took all of the stress off of me so that i could focus on what a bride needed to focused on and that was myself. I couldn't have survived my wedding without her. I recommend Kia to everyone that I know, because she takes care of everything and makes sure you have everything in order for your special day. What makes her more special is that we did everything over the phone until we got to CT. and once we were there, we were blown away at how spectacular our wedding was. thank you so much Kia for the perfect day of July 17

~ I was pleasantly surprised with ESTOccasions and simply cannot say enough of how happy I was with the services Kia and company provided. Planning a same-sex wedding was filled with difficulty, and Kia was able to be an invaluable help in creating our own rules so that we could have the fun but classic wedding that we were going for. Every person we dealt with had an excellent, friendly manner, and were able to avoid many of the heterosexist mistakes that other businesses made, such as asking who the bride was and where we were ordering the dress. The menu that ESTOccasions helped us create was nothing less than perfect, and the favors that they helped us put together could not have been more perfect. Thank you, Kia, Jess, and everyone else involved!

~ We contacted her for assistance as a day-of-coordinator, but she provided much more than that. Through her professional contacts and business, we were able to obtain wedding invitations, chairs, and gifts for ushers/best man/matron of honor/reader at a substantial discount. But her services as a coordinator were the best value of all. Every meeting that we had with her was so useful and helped us feel comfortable that we were moving forward and meeting deadlines. Right before the wedding, she coordinated with the hotel, officiant, designer/florist, and dj to ensure everyone was on the same page. We had a very limited budget, and she worked with us to help us find the best vendors in the area within our price range. She is incredibly resourceful and very knowledgeable. She helped save us money in numerous different areas. She was by far the best wedding investment we could have made.
