Hire Esme!

Our wedding was everything we dreamed it to be and more and I owe that to Esme and her team. She seamlessly executed my vision and made me feel stress free, which allowed me to be fully present. She guided me through each step and gave me several options throughout the process. Her organization and attention to every detail made us totally comfortable that nothing would be missed. She is truly talented and listens to all your thoughts, ideas, and concerns and makes sure that not one detail goes unnoticed. Every one of our guests called it a fairy tale wedding and I truly thank her for that compliment. Esme started out as our planner and we are now grateful to call her a friend. We could not be more pleased and are sure we couldn’t have done it without her.

Words of wisdom- if you can make room in the budget for a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Esme!

Incredible, grounded, vibrant wedding planner

Esme and her team were an absolute dream to work with. My partner Sam and I were immediately drawn to her warm energy and positivity. We were initially attracted into her holistic approach that includes meditations and reiki sessions to really ground ourselves as we moved through this journey of wedding planning. We knew we would need someone that could listen and be compassionate to our needs and really support us as we worked to create something a little outside of the ordinary wedding. She embraced our visionary approach to our wedding with eagerness and grace. She was not just a planner, but a partner in helping us create something that spoke from our authentic voice. She not only helped us go down unusual paths, but cheered us on as we chose bold colors, non-traditional designs, a colorful wedding dress and PIE! What ended up occurring was an expression of us and she helped bring our vision to life. Everyone throughout the night said how authentic and how “us” the wedding felt and I knew we were really successful when my Mom said we did a great job :) Thank you Esme for supporting us and guiding us. If you want to create a unique wedding experience, grounded in your authentic self, and have a supportive guide leading you every step of the way…select Bodamaestra as your next wedding planner!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
