Maura Bassman Event

e. Our wedding day was so smooth and everyone was very complimentary and appreciative of the team. We couldn't have done it without them. I can't recommend Maura Bassman Events enough!

tic of times is unparalleled. She will make sure you are well taken care of and is also extremely quick at responding to any questions you may have! Cannot recommend MBE enough!

rs. She offered wonderful advice and tips that honestly made our day go so seamlessly. I was a very hands on bride throughout the whole planning process and Maura was so accommodating to everything I needed, was asking for, etc. On the day of, we had not one, not two, but THREE people onsite that were managing vendors, photography schedule, the trolley, our very, very large wedding party, family and more. I look back on my wedding day now that is has been a month and think about how everything was so perfect and went off without a single hitch and that is all thanks to Maura and her team. Hire Maura and it will be the best decision you will make in your entire wedding planning process!

ion come to life, every vendor she suggested was AWESOME and made our day flawless. She is so organized, talented, and SO easy to work with. When I would tell other vendors that I was working with Maura, they all had the same response: “You are in great hands, the brides that work with Maura are always the calmest because they know Maura will handle everything.” That statement is the absolute truth.. my day was perfect and that is all thanks to Maura and her team. I can’t recommend Maura enough!!

er team for Wedding Coordination and it was the best decision ever! We met with Maura about 12 weeks out and felt a huge sense of relief knowing we would have her support. She has such an eye for detail and ensured that everything went perfectly. She is positive and keeps you feeling calm throughout the entire process. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make my wedding so special. I truly could not think of a better person to work with!

first talked to Maura, I immediately trusted her--you can tell right away that she is professional and organized, but she's also fun to work with and someone you'd want to be friends with. She was always extremely responsive to any questions I had even early in the planning process. We met with Maura about 10 weeks out to go over details, which was definitely very helpful. For day of, our team (Jill, Hadley, Jordan, and Kayla) was wonderful. At first, it seemed like having that many coordinators wouldn't be necessary, but with all of the moving parts on the wedding day, I was very grateful that they were all involed in helping things run smoothly. I'd always heard that something is sure to go wrong and to just not let it get to you, but if anything went wrong I wasn't even aware of it--they handled absolutely everything. I can't imagine how the day could possibly run without this team of support. They really thought of everything to ensure that our wedding was perfect! I cannot recommend Maura and her team enough!

t much as Maura and her team handled it. Even my sisters and mom commented on how the day-of wedding morning was so perfect because none of us had to worry about a thing because Maura had it covered. Do yourself and those around you a favor and hire Maura!! :)

g I had dreamed of because of her help! Maura and her team were so sweet day of, so helpful, and made everything come together flawlessly! Day of, I trusted that Maura would put it all together for me and I had no worry in my brain all day :) My guests all said it was executed great and seemed like just a perfect wedding! You will feel very well taken care of if you use Maura! Maura - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

g planning process stress-free! Maura knows your style and matches vendors perfectly! She takes your vision and makes it come alive! There is not a single thing I would have change. EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Kelly, Monica and Heather were so attentive and helpful the day of, I would not have been able to get through my wedding day without them! Maura and her team are the absolute best!!!

ime and she was so kind she actually came to my apartment to help transport stuff the the wedding. Truly the best planner we could have hoped for and we can’t recommend her more highly.

and knew she was committed to making sure everything on our wedding day was completely perfect. Maura was super helpful throughout the final months leading up to the wedding and made sure that I had all of the details in place. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. I am still in disbelief over how relaxed I was throughout the entire day. I had 100% confidence in Maura’s team and knew they would ensure everything was perfect. And perfect, it was! Everything about the day went off flawlessly. I wasn’t at the reception venue until after our ceremony, so it was amazing to see all the details come to life beautifully – all thanks to Maura’s team. As for the team that we worked with, I cannot say enough wonderful things. We worked with Kelli, Jill, and Monica, and it was so incredible to have this team as such a huge part of our day, knowing each one of them was committed to making the day perfect. They were all so sweet, calm, and reassuring. They truly felt like an extension of the family and friends that surrounded us, and I am so grateful for each one of them being part of our day. For any bride planning a wedding, I can’t recommend Maura and her team enough!

est day of my life (and my husband and our family's). She has an amazing calming energy and puts you at ease from the moment you meet you and this extends through your wedding day! I was the bride that had nothing planned, no ideas, and needed all the recommendations in the world. Maura never steered me wrong. She gives amazing advice and recommendations. I was doing most of the wedding planning alone, with my fiancé living across the country. Halfway through the process I moved away from Cincinnati as well, and I was a full time student working on my masters. To say I was stressed was an understatement. Maura made for an excellent partner and friend throughout this process. She made it easy and enjoyable. I thoroughly looked forward to our meetings. Maura and her team worked tirelessly on making our wedding everything we wanted it to be and more. We had many specific religious and cultural requests that she was able to follow through with and make happen. Our wedding day was just about perfect. I walked into the weekend without a worry in mind, knowing that Maura and her team would be there all day. I miss working with Maura and I'm excited to see her expand her business into more events and hope to work with her in the future. I can't recommend Maura enough!

l thanks to her team. My family was able to enjoy and fully soak in the wedding weekend without having to worry. They took care of every detail day of (evening steaming my dress!) and coordinated the wedding weekend timeline with all of our vendors which saved us so much time and stress. Thanks, Maura!

ng day would not have been as perfect without her and her team.

nal and worth her weight in gold!!

y time for questions that came up before the three months (and we had a lot!). After our first meeting with Maura it was clear to us that Maura and her team were worth every penny and more! We had a very large wedding party and a large wedding and Maura handled everything we threw her way like a true pro. Her vendor relationships and industry knowledge was invaluable. The day was absolutely flawless with no detail overlooked. She completely put us at ease and we were all able to enjoy our day knowing it was in the BEST hands! Maura and her team took care of everything behind the scenes from start to finish, even putting our overnight bags in the hotel room where we would stay that night! We cannot thank CWBM enough for making our big day completely stress free! I highly recommend Maura and her team!

n the day of the wedding, Maura and her team handled everything and we couldn't have been more pleased. Maura was warm and kind and very professional. Her words of encouragement to my daughter right before she walked down the aisle were calming and inspiring. I know a lot of people think you don't need a wedding planner, but Maura made everything go so smoothly and did many behind the scenes things for us that made the day so special. Hiring Maura was probably the best money we spent on the wedding!

came up during the planning process (all of which she had already thought of and handled long before they question occurred to us), to making sure everything went perfectly on the day of the wedding! Maura and her whole team are so sweet and so easy to work with! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, HIRE MAURA! She will make your life so much easier and ensure that your wedding is amazing!

ions for vendors, experience concerning timelines, calmness in the craziness of wedding weekend and just general patience and pleasantness made the wedding perfect. Maura and her team made sure that my daughter and I had a wonderful day. They picked up lunch, transferred all the bouquets from our house to the church, pinned on boutonnieres, found the directions on how to bustle the gown, got reception shoes out of the MOG's room, moved all the gifts to my room at the end of the evening, returned the cake stand the day after the wedding, and a hundred other things I'm not aware of. There is no way I would have been able to cherish the weekend without her professionalism. I can't say enough wonderful things about the CWBM staff. They are first class.

the Bride and that I hired Franck. With being relatively new to the area, we needed someone to streamline everything for us as we both work six days a week and Maura made this happen with ease. Maura made my wedding planning the most painless process ever. Her attention to detail is top notch and her knowledge of this business on point. She is professional, organized and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Our day was perfect and I did not have to worry about a thing. You may have been planning your whole wedding on Pinterest for years but there are so many things that you just don't think of and that is where Maura and her team came in. Save your sanity and look no further for a planner. It was sad when everything was over because she was part of our lives for a year. Maura, I love you and miss you girl!! And Page, thank you for cutting my dress :o)

estions were incredible and we couldn’t imagine finding our perfect vendors without her. She is extremely detailed and gave us all the tools we needed to plan our dream wedding. She was there for us throughout the whole planning process to answer our many, many questions and offer invaluable advice. Having the help from Maura and her team allowed us (and our parents) to relax and completely enjoy our wedding day without having to think about any last minute details or logistics. We’re so glad we chose CWBM, we couldn’t imagine planning a wedding without Maura or her team!

team, I was able to have the best day of my life - I had all the confidence in the world that her team would take care of every little detail, and they did just that!!! Everything was PERFECT and we truly couldn't have done it without this amazing team!! I could go on for days :) One other thing to note that was so unbelievable and made my life so much easier is that Maura is so well respected and loved by so many vendors in Cincinnati that her/her team had a close relationship with all my other vendors which made for such a fun wedding day and it was awesome witnessing how they all worked so seamlessly together. Thank you to the best wedding coordinators around!!!!

om out of town, and had flight issues the weekend I was meeting most of my vendors for the first time. Maura went to meetings, rescheduled meetings, and made sure that everything was take care of. She calmed my nerves and got me excited. She saved my sanity. Maura and her entire team was extremely organized and professional, while striking a wonderful balance of being friendly and energetic. They were there when you needed them, but not in your face, they took care of everything behind the scenes and made sure that for any issue that came up, i was 100% unaware and it was handled. Maura's team was 100% first class and I would recommend Cincy Weddings by Maura without a moments hesitation. Maura and her team are simply the best.

mall business entrepreneur who had glowing reviews from the brides she worked with – seemed obvious! I also knew that on the day of the wedding, I didn’t want to be in control of anything. Seems crazy, right? But I didn’t want to be the go-to, and I didn’t want any of my friends or family to be the go-to, either. I wanted us all to be able to celebrate! Enter: Maura. I shared ideas of what my husband and I envisioned, our budget, our anticipated number of guests and thought to myself: spreadsheets. A budget, a venue comparison, etc. Two days later, she sent over just that – and more. A budget – our budget - including a breakdown of where to allocate funds based on what was important to us, and a spreadsheet comparing suggested venues based on what we’re looking for, that included what’s factored in, what’s not, what it all normally costs…. Really, a dream for any Type A personality. It made jump-starting the process so much easier, and so much faster. Eventually I would feel the need for a day-of schedule, then boom. There it was again. A perfectly compiled scheduled – to the minute – of the day of: when vendors arrive, all contacts organized in a list, a checklist of everything that should be everywhere, a breakdown of hair and make up times, when the limo will pick us up – you know, the details that are often painful to coordinate because so many people and vendors are dependent on them. Her excellence goes beyond the detailed planning: Maura’s day of execution was a dream. She coordinated all of the small things: picked up the items we had for the ceremony and took them to the venue, pre-ordered and delivered lunches for the bridal and groom suites - and delivered those too, and even grabbed and dropped off the beverages we needed for the limo. Again, how would this all happen without her team? Oh, what was that word? Team! She had incredible team members who were also there for day-of support. Even when I lost my wedding lipstick, and needed it before we got to the ceremony: one of them not only found it, but she brought it to us at a one of our photo locations. How much more above and beyond can you get? But then we walked in and saw the venue, and my breath was taken away. Everything was set up as we imagined. Vendors were approaching her with all of the questions, and we got to sit back and have a coffee as her team calmly, collectively, and efficiently orchestrated everything to perfection. Her team was there for us if we needed anything: including a cocktail right after the ceremony, during photos – because, cheers! Hours later, we would be partied out and ready to go home with a sudden concern of: how do we get everything together? And we didn’t have to, because it was all set for us. In bins and boxes, including cards and gifts. Zero clean up required. The cherry on top of the perfect evening. If you’re a Cincinnati bride, hire Maura. This is the most special day of your life. You will see people you haven’t seen a in a while, everyone who’s important to you will all be in one place together. Enjoy the people and the celebration, and let her and her team handle the details. You will not regret it.
