Aokash exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. From the initial call to each check in he was always so accessible and available. Not only was he very organized and professional he offered alot of support throughout the whole process. He took care of all the vendors and coordinated the whole day of. We had a Sept 2024 wedding with about 130 guest. He saw our wedding vision and made it all come to life. We were so appreciative of his skills and expertise and so glad that we chose Kiara Event Planning as a vendor. We highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Aokash, and we can confidently say that his services exceeded all expectations. From our very first phone call, it was clear that he was not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate to help shape our wedding experience. He was incredibly organized, managing details with precision and ensuring everything ran smoothly on our big day.
What really stood out was his friendly and approachable nature. Aokash made us feel at ease, listened attentively, and offered thoughtful advice that helped us refine our ideas.
The wedding itself was a wonderful day, thanks to Aokash's expertise. He kept everything on track, allowing us to truly enjoy our celebration without worry. If you're looking for a wedding planner who combines expertise with warmth and a personal touch, look no further than Kiara Event Planning. We couldn't have asked for a better experience

Aokash was incredible to work with! He has such an incredible calming presence on every situation. He was organized, level headed, and confident at all stages of the process. I especially appreciated his expertise and input in areas where we were less opinionated or didn't have as clear of a vision. He handled every situation perfectly as it came up, and made sure we were able to focus on enjoying our celebration during the day of. We received multiple compliments from guests on how well run the day was, and all thanks go to Aokash!

Aokash and his wife were so lovely ! I highly recommend them. We had less than a month’s time for my wedding and he took care of everything . He knew the right questions to ask my vendors and made sure my day was easy and peaceful. He is very punctual and very knowledgeable which i appreciated . He responds right away which was so great. We met a couple times before the wedding to go over the venue and other things and everything looked great. I am so thankful for him! Highly highly recommended him and will definitely use him in the future! Thank you so much Aokash!!

It was closer to my wedding date and I was very overwhelmed with planning my own wedding, I had enough and decided to put in some money to get a wedding coordinator. Aokash has been very helpful and clear what he helps with. He's Desi, so he has experience in Indo/pak weddings, that was my plus. We purchased the day of coordination package. Aokash communicated with the vendors, before and during the event. He is a good speaker and helped me out on small things too, like grabbing me a cup of tea while my husband and I had to greet the guests. I still had to do a lot of work (example: making a music list and forwarding timelines to all vendors) prior to the event, but I think that is expected when purchasing smallest package. Aokash did go over my drafted timeline and confirmed if it was all good. Again, I had to do the preparation prior to bringing in Aokash. One great thing is, day of... you don't have to worry one bit. My advice put some money to get a coordinator and Aokash is definitely my recommended guy.

Aokash was a dream to work with. He was very attentive, detailed, and punctual. We hired him for day-off wedding coordination and MC. He took care of us and our guests by making sure all vendors were communicated with before and throughout the actual wedding and when it came to gathering our things at the end of the night. He was a great MC as well with the perfect delivery of humor. I highly recommend booking Kiara Event Planning for your next big event. I will be recommending them to all my friends.

We had Kiara Events help us out with our wedding reception planning in San Diego. Let me just say, planning a Wedding is no small feat especially during COVID! We were in a situation where some of our vendors cancelled last minute due to COVID. And that’s when we called Kiara Events - Kash and Sharon stepped in and saved the day. Not only did they help us find reliable vendors, they also coordinated all the details of the day.
It was super easy to work with this duo , they listened to our vision and made it happen. We had peace of mind on the day of our event, knowing that they will take care of everything with our vendors!
