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!

Esme was great through the whole process giving lots of ideas and great making sure everything happened as we wanted it to

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!

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.

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!

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!

Esme and her team did an amazing job of being thoughtful and thorough throughout the process of coordinating our wedding. We already had all our vendors in place but needed support getting everyone aligned on a vision and timeline. We were especially appreciative of Esme’s willingness to be flexible and supportive given our multiple postponements due to COVID concerns and of her ability to welcome my Peruvian culture and my partner’s Japanese culture into the process. We wanted someone who would understand the importance of honoring our cultures and of incorporating other things we cared about (which included geeky things like superheroes and anime), and it definitely felt like all of that was not only welcomed but also celebrated.

Esme and her team were amazing! My wedding was truly a dream with the help of her wonderful team! Such a professional with detailed ideas throughout the whole experience!

Working with Esme was one of the best and most important decisions we made for our wedding! I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved working with Esme (and her team!) and how much she really made the whole event and day as wonderful as possible. I am a planner and organizer by nature, but hiring Esme brought not only a trusted partner into my thoughts and own plans, but a very professional, well connected, seasoned wedding pro who made sure nothing was left unthought of, and that everything was taken care of, while shielding us from the stress and burden of coordinating such an important event with several vendors and tons of details! Esme’s approach really showed us how smooth, well thought of, and stress free this experience could be, and I felt completely well guided and safe with Esme at the wheel. Her approach also strikes a great balance of getting all the details covered without making it seem overwhelming. The amount of meetings, the communication style etc.. was never too much or too little. It also helped that Esme is really kind, personable, and receptive of our vision and ideas and was able to take our choppy thoughts and create a cohesive, beautiful day that we envisioned. She also went above and beyond during the whole process and also (unknown to us at the time!) made a quick, slick save on the wedding day when something didn’t show up from one of our vendors. She went out of her way to personally solve the issue before we even had the chance to notice, and that’s just another example of being in good hands with Esme and her ensuring that our day was stress free and just an incredible day for us to soak in all the love, beauty and happiness of the big day. We look back on our wedding day, and are so happy with how everything turned out, it was our dream wedding, and we are so thankful to Esme for that. Oh! Also, Esme’s team is beyond professional, caring, sharp and organized… they all are so incredibly helpful and friendly and all work together so well. Would recommend to anyone!

Esme and her team were so helpful for the wedding planning process. Our wedding party loved the timeline and constant communication she provided. Even with an event background, her team brings a different level of expertise that only comes with experience. The week leading up to our wedding there was heat wave, she came up with ideas for umbrellas. Esme was very responsive the process and created a holistic approach on how to not be stressed throughout the wedding. The day of, there are always some hiccups, but she was able to address and handle everything. Even at the end, everything was packed up properly and her team was amazing! Definitely choose Esme and her team to plan your dream wedding!
