Kimi is easily the best decision we made when we started to plan our wedding. We got married in May 2017 in Niagara Falls, ON. I live in Buffalo, NY, Kumar, my fiancé lives in Milwaukee, WI and his family is in Toronto, ON. The thought of putting a wedding together while being so far from each other and working full time really scared us. From the moment we talked to Kimi we knew she was the one.
She is very experienced and knows what she is talking about in every aspect of planning a wedding. She is high energy and gets the job done with great accessibility and communication along the way. We asked her to pretty much plan the entire wedding for us and we would just be on the sidelines picking from options she presented us. Our only request was that we wanted to be “wowed” when we saw everything come together on the day of the wedding. All we can say is that she more than surpassed our expectations. Kimi referred us to outstanding vendors who each played a pivotal role in making our wedding so special. She is also extremely accessible and we can literally tell you that whatever we asked or inquired about she made happen... even at the last minute.
As the bride and groom, she really made our day so enjoyable because we did not have to worry about one single thing and we were so laid back and stress free which is rare on your wedding day! We focused on enjoying the day that was put together and we knew that Kimi would take care of everything else. We had a Hindu wedding ceremony and the decor was amazing and the timing went off as planned. When we walked into the reception we both looked at each other and just kept saying “oh my god” over and over as we could not believe the appearance of the hall... it was absolutely stunning and left us speechless!!!! Our guests were amazed at the whole day as were our families and of course us! We could honestly write about Kimi for days and days and it still wouldn’t be enough to show our appreciation for her! Kimi - thank you for an amazing day, something that blew our expectations out of the water completely and something that we will never forget! We are so glad that we put our trust in you and that we gained a friend along the way!!
Needless to say, Kimi comes with the highest of recommendations from us!!! We hope to work with her again in the future!
If you ever thought planning a wedding yourself was easy, think again. Adding to that, planning a wedding for 2 strangers that you have never met, from the other side of the pond, with a 5 hour time difference, and that is what Kimi did. We were 6 months into our wedding planning before we even got to meet her, but the moment we met her it felt like we’d known her all along. Our wedding was planned all from FaceTime calls, WhatsApp messages and emailing back and forth. Despite all the barriers, she made wedding planning completely stress free and we are happy to have gained a new friend.
A lot of reviewers say their wedding planner was amazing but Kimi really went above and beyond any of our expectations. Kimi is exceptionally talented and passionate about her job. With planning our wedding for over a year, we saw Kimi as our friend rather than our wedding planner, someone who was genuinely interested in getting to know us rather than ticking the boxes in order to plan a wedding.
Kimi was our one stop shop for weddings. She designed our invitations and all the stationary, found all our vendors, and coordinated the entire day to run smoothly. Every small detail was covered and the theme and style of the wedding carried throughout. She made herself 100% available and scheduled all vendor meetings as close together as possible when we came back to Toronto for a short visit. She was so thoughtful, as she didn’t want to take up too much of our time while we were back in Toronto. Nothing was too much when we had questions or changes last minute. Every intricate detail of our wedding was followed through and her attention to detail is astounding.
In the days leading up to our wedding, and even the day of our wedding we can say we had NO stress, we were so confident the day was going to go seamlessly, and Kimi made sure it did. She made sure that we were well taken care, that we were fed, relaxed and happy!
Although Kimi had not planned a Chinese wedding before, she did her research and got to grips with different cultures and beautifully and seamlessly incorporated these into our wedding. We truly had the best time at our wedding, we would do it all again if we could and it’s no mistake why we had such a great, stress-free time! Thank you a million, we’ll be forever grateful.
Hiring Kimi Arya as my wedding designer was one of the best decisions I made throughout the process of planning my wedding. As a bride-to-be who had never given much thought to what vision I had for my decor, planning and choosing my wedding décor felt like it would be one of the most daunting tasks in my planning process. From our very first meeting however, Kimi instantly put my mind at ease. With her passion for her work, combined with her talent and experience, Kimi worked with me to narrow down what I wanted my big day to look like, and brought the vision I didn’t know I had to life right before my eyes! Not only was Kimi available to answer any questions I had over the phone and through e-mail, she was also always quick to make adjustments or respond to any questions I had. She remained dedicated to ensure that every detail of the décor was perfect by sharing any new ideas she came across that she thought would fit with my vision. Kimi also created my incredibly beautiful wedding invitations, which I still receive compliments on to this very day! She worked so hard to ensure that they turned out just how my husband and I wanted, and she was always so flexible with any changes or additional requests we had. On the day of our wedding, Kimi not only did a phenomenal job at making our wedding look more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, she also worked with our vendors and went above and beyond her own duties as a decorator to tend to any glitches or problems that arose (e.g., fixing a part of our wedding cake). Kimi’s décor and professionalism was complimented by many of our wedding guests, and we could not have been happier with her work. I would absolutely recommend Kimi for any wedding or events. She is phenomenal at what she does!
Kimi Arya is a women of many talents. Kimi was my day of wedding coordinator for the day of my wedding and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She worked really hard to make sure the day went as perfect as could be. She met with us prior to and after even just meeting her for the first time, she was very professional, trustworthy and flexible. Although Kimi was hired of the day of coordination, she was available by phone to discuss and assist with any issues I had, she had offered her help with vendors. Kimi attended the rehearsal dinner as well and she helped coordinate everything so the wedding will go as smooth as possible, and that is excatly what happened. Kimi provided us with 10 hours of coordination for an amazing price. Kimi was complimented by all the vendors and I would highly suggest her for any event. She had an emergency kit with her in case anything went wrong, even a pop up cake that will look just like a real one, she was hands down AMAZING!!!
Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any smoother without Kimi’s event planning expertise. She created our stationery which turned out to be exactly what we wanted to a t! She understood our vision which was important to us. Kimi executed and delivered what we asked for within our deadline, and even when I, the bride, freaked out a bit (who doesn’t with such a huge event around the corner?) she had it all under control.
As our day-of-planner, Kimi was ready with whatever the bride (anyone really) needed - yes, a touch of hairspray, some bobby pins, and a even a dab of lipstick! Throughout the hectic day, Kimi was there everywhere I turned making sure everything was running smoothly. She was extremely detail-oriented, professional, and observant (this is important). Even months after the wedding I had people telling me how smoothly the event went and what a great job Kimi did. She was a lifesaver.
It was a pleasure working with Kimi to create my beautiful wedding invitations. Kimi always heard me out and made her best efforts to give me what I was looking for, which clearly she delivered. She always made suggestions in a respectful professional manner and made the process super easy and fun. Kimi was very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.
We chose Kimi for our Sikh/Hindu fusion wedding decor and day of co-ordination for the ceremony. Kimi did an AMAZING job with our flowers and decor. Not only did she follow our directions to the tee but was able to bring our vision to life right in front of our eyes. The decor done at both our (parentʼs) houses was beautiful! We were blown away by how gorgeous our reception decor and flower arrangements looked. Kimi kept the whole process smooth and kept us involved the entire time. Out of all the compliments we got on the decor for our reception, we were told by multiple guests that the entire setup was very “us” and we can only thank Kimi for making that happen.
The co-ordination for the wedding ceremonies was very professional. Both our families were thankful to have Kimiʼs assistance. Having Kimi there made it less stressful and easier on both of us. Not only did she co-ordinate the entire ceremony but kept both of us calm throughout the entire process. Thank you Kimi for all you did for us. If it wasnʼt for your expertise and support, our day would not have been as smooth as it was. We would absolutely recommend Kimi for any weddings or events.
Kimi is as detail oriented as you can find. She always makes sure every little detail was perfect for our big day. An example was when searching for the right overlays. She must have went back and forth showing us different times about 6-8 times until my wife and I picked the right one. She always makes sure that our wedding would look perfect right to the very last detail. Even on our wedding day, when there were adjustments needed to be made, she took charge of them and took initiative in taking care of them to ensure that the quality of the decor would not diminish. Kimi’s passion for this is what makes her great at what she does and I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.
Peter and I were referred to Kimi through a mutual friend - after our first meeting we instantly knew she was the right person for us! Kimi is passionate about what she does, she’s professional, polite, responds quickly, and is very knowledgeable about the industry. Throughout the year if she came across anything that she thought would fit our decor plan, she would always share and work to adjust on the fly! We made a few last minute changes a couple weeks before the wedding and without hesitation or concern, she was able to accommodate and pull everything together. Our decor looked phenomenal - it turned out even more beautiful than what we could have pictured. Everything was perfect! Kimi’s attention to detail and creative mindset really sets her apart from other designers I have met in the past. Kimi and her team were also very respectful of timelines, having everything set up and taken down on time with no disruption to the evening. Kimi, thank you for everything you have done for Peter and I - it was an utter pleasure to work with you and will definitely be recommending you to all our family in friends!
Wow, is what a lot of our guests said when they entered the reception hall. Investing in Kimi was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Kimi provided so much guidance, advice and organization for our big day. The decor surpassed our expectations and the vision that we had prior. Kimi’s involvement from beginning to end eased a lot of our worries or concerns. She made sure everything progressed smoothly. Communication with Kimi prior to and during our wedding was always prompt and friendly. I would highly suggest Kimi to anyone looking for a wedding designer/day of planner. A special thank you goes out to Kimi for making our special day better than we could of ever imagined.
I have to say that Kimi was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she extremely talented but very professional and helpful. She happily, and promptly, responded to all (and there were many!) of my emails. Any changes that needed to be made, even the day before, or questions I had, were taken care of without hesitation. We received more compliments than we could count on the mirrored seating chart from Kimi.
From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, Kimi went above and beyond our expectations, providing us with a world-class experience that exceeded anything we could have imagined. Kimi’s unwavering support, professionalism, and genuine care for our special day truly made all the difference. Every detail, from the venue decor to the coordination of events, was flawless, and we felt like we were in the best hands throughout the entire process. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day truly extraordinary.
