Most thoughtful wedding planner ever

Esme Krahn, of Boda Maestra, was such a sweet, relatable, wedding planner/coordinator for our wedding. Her professionalism was top tier; she always maintained excellent communication, gave us reliable resources, and kept everything extremely organized! Esme and her team worked so meticulously to make sure no leaf was left unturned and that all our wildest dreams could be executed for our special day! We highly recommend this service for anyone who needs a helping hand with event planning! We loved our experience and wouldn't have been able to get it all done without Boda Maestra.

Best decision ever!

If you're looking for someone who will bring your vision to life, don't bother looking any further, you have found the right company! The work by Esme and her team was amazing from beginning until the end. During our first call with Esme, we knew instantly she was the right person for the job. Her love, dedication and patience was all the assurance we needed to sign with her. Let me just say, it was one of the best decisions we made early on because it was the organization we needed to get through the process. Emse assisted us along the way and made sure we were on top of all the planning deadlines. The days leading up to the wedding, she was right there for all questions and concerns - even to the very night before the wedding. She was always MORE than accommodating to answering our questions at any time and guiding us in the right direction when we needed assistance with making decisions with vendors.

She was never once pushy and we never felt like she did not have our best interest at heart. If anything, after every single call we felt that she was so accommodating, so patient and so pleasant to work with. I would do it all over again with Esme!

During the wedding, everything could not have gone anymore smoother than it did. Esme and her team work flawlessly with all other vendors, as well. It seemed like it was all one team working together (that was said by majority of our guests). From the moment she and her team arrived, they were so accommodating and made sure everything was on schedule. During the wedding, there were a few moments where things had to be shifted either earlier or later and she did it seamlessly. Nobody knew we were off schedule, everything went so well as if it was planned that way!

I cannot thank Esme and her team enough. She truly is a beautiful person inside and out and I am SO HAPPY we decided to trust her with our big day. Absolutely no regrets and I genuinely cannot think of one thing where I can say "if there is one thing I would change, it would be X." I wouldn't change a thing - it was our real life, magical fairytale day!

Amazing and made all my wedding dreams come true, even when it wasn’t easy!

Esme did a fabulous job planning my wedding! She took time to understand my vision and communicated every step of the way. Her vast experience and relationships with vendors helped immensely. Esme designed unique floral arrangements and signage that turned out amazing and we got lots of compliments on the details. I am so grateful for Esme’s team and all their hard work throughout the process. I would highly recommend them!
