Kia is WONDERFUL to work with and we highly recommend her! We originally looked at her services for day-of coordination, but decided to go with the higher package after speaking to her over Skype. Kia's experience helped us so much in the wedding planning process, from thinking about things that never would have crossed our minds, to helping us select the right vendors, Kia was there with us through it all. She recommended Sweet Rewards by Kelly for our cake (who did an awesome job), and Floral Design by Melissa for our floral needs (who also did an amazing job!). I remember walking into the church for our rehearsal the day before the wedding and seeing Kia, and just sighing audibly in relief knowing that she was there to take care of us! Kia was so helpful in all of the planning leading up to our big day, and she kept everything running smoothly for us day of. She is simply a joy to work with, and we highly recommend Kia!

We knew the first moment we met Kia Martinson that she was going to be our wedding coordinator. She is truly the best of the best. I could only wish that everyone could have a wedding coordinator as patient and experienced as Kia is. If there was a time where we felt stressed in the planning process, Kia was there and always eased our worries. We can’t thank her enough for all of her help in making our wedding go smoothly and a day that we will never forget.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful Kia Martinson and her business. From the moment I first spoke with her back in 2013/2014 I felt comfortable and at ease with all of my plans. I'm the kind of person that likes to plan every little thing, so I decided to go with her "Partial" wedding package. It was perfect in that I got to pick out and do all of the little bridaly things that are a kind of right-of-passage, without becoming overwhelmed. Times that I had questions she was a quick text away, and as things got down to the nitty gritty, she was there to save me time and time again with a smile on her face saying "no problem girl that's what I'm here for...now relax and go have a cocktail" lol. She even planned the next morning event for my family!! Kia became more than a wedding planner for me... she is a great, kind person and someone who I am happy to now call a friend. Thank you Kia and ESTOccasions for all that you did for Corey and I. Our dream wedding came true with help from you! XOXO LINDSAY & COREY CRANE

Estoccasions made our wedding day a simple, elegant and joyful event. Not only didn't I have to worry but no one else in my family or wedding party did either. Our concern from day one was hosting a wedding at my parents house was going to be to much. Kia kept us on task, and kept things handled for us all and we were all thankful.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. With your help we were able to plan our wedding; and it was a real blessing to work with you. I think we would have been lost without a planner, and still believe it was some of the best money I spent. Thank you for dealing with my crazy family. My mother and brothers were thankful to have you there and even the band leader said you were awesome. Considering the simple fact that we asked to get married this year, and went from planning a wedding in 6 months to 3 month, you never once seemed scared or frazzled or made us think we were crazy. THANK YOU for that.

Kia, & her staff at Estoccasions and all of the vendors that she provided us with for our wedding were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our wedding was amazing and having a wedding in our own yard was a scary thought.  Then we saw it call come together.  We owe it all to Kia for all of her hard work. Also on a personal note, Kia is a fabulous person - very professional, personable and a real pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her and Estoccasions to anyone that wants the best for their wedding day - they will deliver. 

As I did with any vendor I heavily researched experience, read reviews, asked for referrals and set meetings. Communication with Kia was constant from the moment we signed on. From doing a walkthrough of our venue, to giving ideas we had never even thought about (or seen on Pinterest!) to letting me know if I ever had a question – even if I thought it was silly – that she was there and able to help, you could not feel more relieved to have someone on your side that has this experience. The month of we had several meetings, she followed up with all Vendors to make sure they were aware of where they needed to be of and when, helped me with any of those silly questions I may have had and also just made me feel so relieved and at ease everything was going to run smoothly. Wedding weekend – she did everything she said she would and more! We have never seen a more efficient rehearsal. Then for wedding day she greeted me with a big hug, helped direct the girls and I to bridal suite, coordinated picture taking and making sure she was in communication with groomsmen so the groom wouldn’t see me, to helping set up ALL of my details, to then getting everyone’s flowers pinned and everyone ready to go! For pictures she was running through the trees and garden at times to help ensure I had something in my belly, had something to drink, and my lip gloss was refreshed for pictures! I mean, how amazing?! I was so nervous at one point she was going to sprain her ankle at how amazing she was being literally dodging large rocks to make sure my veil was perfect or if I needed additional fluffing of my dress for the pictures! You just couldn’t ask for better help with checking in on us, running up to grab my sparkly flip flops for a shoe change, and to always making sure we were having a good time. Oh, did I mention Kia and her team pack up and store your wedding items for you until the next day or after your honeymoon? Hiring Kia was one of the best decisions we made!!

Kia did a great job running our wedding day. Everyone of our vendors had great things to say about her. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hiring Kia at ESTOccassions was once of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We started off thinking we didn't need a coordinator, but as there were more DIY projects and we realized how much we wanted to be calm and not stressed on our wedding day, we decided to go with a day of coordinator. I scheduled meetings with various coordinators but met with Kia first. She was so easy to talk to and so pleasant, I wanted to hire her on the spot. I sat through the rest of the meeting just to be sure, and there was nobody I liked nearly as much as Kia. Kia always made me feel like I could contact her with small questions even though she was technically only our day of coordinator. We had minor miscommunications with other vendors and she stepped in, confirmed everything, and gave us peace of mind. She worked wonderfully with all of our vendors- some she knew and some she didn't- which I came to realize is so important. When I started worrying about things after the rehearsal dinner and the day of, I could freak out to her and she would calm me down. I emailed her in the middle of the night, the night before, over some small detail, and she somehow answered right away. Kia is exactly the right balance of taking charge but also listening to you. She knows what the couple wants and then makes it happen. While I was lucky to have wonderful vendors, the day truly would not have been the same without Kia; she is responsible for making it all come together, and also letting us be able to relax and be present in the moment to enjoy it all. I cannot say enough good things about Kia and ESTOccassions.

Hiring Kia and ESTOccasions was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Kia went above and beyond just being a "Day of Coordinator" and made helpful suggestions and event helped us to finish making table covers when we got too overwhelmed. In the week leading up to the wedding it was a wonderful feeling to be able to hand all of the details over to Kia and know that everything would be in good hands. On the day of, all of our details (and there were a lot!) were executed exactly as we wanted and we were able to stick to our timeline because Kia kept everyone, including our other vendors, moving. While we were on our honeymoon Kia stored all of our leftover items and returned them to us packed away as soon as we returned along with about 100 pictures her assistant had taken, some of which we were able to use on our Thank You cards. If you are thinking of hiring a Day of Coordinator do not hesitate to hire Kia and ESTOccasions- they were truly a life saver!
