Butterfly Weddings

Picture Perfect wedding made possible by Butterfly Weddings. (10/10) We wholeheartedly recommend Eva of Butterfly Weddings to anyone planning their wedding in Prague. After our initial call with Eva, we overcame our reluctance to work with a wedding planner, for fear of losing direct control with vendors, managing costs, and being nudged into committing to extras we didn’t want. Eva addressed those concerns and made us feel at ease with her easy-going demeanor and a thoughtful walk through of her processes. We don’t like to give up control easily but we became comfortable with how Butterfly Weddings handled our planning with cost transparency, detailed receipts from all vendors, and exceptional responsiveness via phone, email, and texts. We eventually migrated everything to google sheets which made the planning process completely streamlined. With Eva’s help, we were able to host a picture perfect, multi-day wedding event along with a large rehearsal dinner, a beautiful garden wedding ceremony, a hotel wedding reception, and an after party that went well into the night across some of the most beautiful and unique locations in Prague. There is no way we could have pulled this off without Eva’s help. Our experience started with some internet research on our own, so we had a point of comparison by the time we were working with Eva. We recognized that Eva’s access and connections with vendors was vastly superior to what we would have been able to do on our own. There wasn’t a ‘preferred vendor’ concept with Eva. Her lists of custom compiled venues, restaurants, florists, photobooths, cars, etc., were hand picked based on our criteria and cost constraints. She handled last minute changes, dealt with tons of back and forth on contracts, answered a zillion questions, showed us a gazillion photos, sorted by cost, style, location, and even put a Pinterest page just for flower ideas. Who does that!! Planning our wedding was overwhelming but with Eva’s help things became manageable. After a couple of weeks working with her we realized if we had done this ourselves: 1) We wouldn’t have any clue how to generate a fair comparison between vendors much less finding them in the first place (some are very local), 2) She got us a lot more commitments from vendors and ‘add-ons’ than we would have been able to, 3) Saved us COUNTLESS hours and kept us on track, 4) Managing the language barrier plus time difference because we’re based in New York. Eva even provided us with an great local to-do and eats guide for Prague knowing we have lots of out of town guests. In closing thoughts, at the end of our reception and party into the wee-hours, we saw Eva tirelessly overseeing everything to the very end of the evening, even after all other vendors have packed up. My mom wanted to save EVERY floral arrangement and she offered to help. You can’t imagine how touched we were to witness this level of authenticity and care. She was with us until the bitter end! At one point we shipped BOXES of wedding stuff to her in Prague, even a full sized guitar. The morning of my wedding day I almost didn’t get out of bed because I was too busy catching up (partying) with friends the night before. Guess who was there in the morning to make sure the ball was rolling? She is just incredibly dedicated and caring. When we decided to work with a planner, we didn’t want to go with an agency because we didn’t want to be presented with cookie-cutter options, and we wanted to work directly with the business owner who has a real stake in helping with our wedding. We are so glad we chose Butterfly Weddings for a bespoke, one-of-a-kind, and spectacular experience.

Eva of Butterfly Weddings was an awesome wedding planner and we are so pleased we engaged her services. Eva was very helpful, efficient, and professional, and made our special day so much easier. We really appreciated that Eva worked very hard and stayed longer with us than expected - clearly Eva is passionate about her work and cares for her clients. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending Butterfly Weddings to assist with your wedding. Marketa & Richard

We are more than 100% satisfied with working with Eva. First Eva is professional and practical, second she is supportive and cheerful, and she is the the ideal wedding planner for everyone. Eva is the one of inspiring role model women in this world. My husband and I work in finance and live in New York (British & Japanese couple), and it became tough at a point when we tried to organise our wedding in Prague because of time, language and cultural difference. We chose Mandarin Oriental Hotel for a venue place and we though their wedding consulting team was enough help for us to be fully equipped planning a wedding. However, it gets difficult to choose trusting vendors and we found that we don’t have time to visit Prague to finalise putting all together. Two months before our wedding, we found that we need a wedding planner and I googled search but not much review system has been built with Prague business compare to New York. I contacted big wedding planning agencies in Prague (not to mention) but they are very impersonalised and two of them told me that they’d like to work for planning my wedding but cannot be at my wedding day so they arrange one of their assistant since they will go summer vacation. I was shocked. Then I found Eva by recommendation from my photographer. Eva was totally different from other wedding planners. She’s more enthusiastic and showing the sense of commitment with her job than any other wedding planners in Prague which convinced me to choose her. Eva has plenty of choice with venders in different price ranges, and quality of them are all very good. Even my hairstylist said that Eva is a very good planner because her time management and ability to put it together is excellent and furthermore she cares about vendors as well which other wedding agencies in Prague are not. Our guests are impressed at Eva’s ability to conduct our wedding and asked us how we found her. We wanted a garden ceremony and under raining conditions, Eva managed all vendors, hotel banquet team, and our guests to make it happen. Whenever we faced obstacles, she always said “but we will manage and make it happen, right?” I agree with other reviews as she is a great wedding planner working with people in different backgrounds. She can make your wedding happen!

There are not enough words of appreciation to express our gratitude to Butterfly Weddings (and Eva personally) for planning a magical day for us to celebrate our marriage! Eva, I don't know where to start - my dream wedding would not have happened without you! Professional, super energetic, very responsive, has a good sense of humor - just to name a few of Eva's super powers. I truly appreciate that you understood my very busy schedule and made the wedding planning process EASY and PLEASANT. I actually enjoyed the day, because I knew Eva " Got it all" She knows all the right people, we could not be happier with the vendor recommendations and advises she had given us. Planning a destination wedding can be a challenge, but because of Eva's knowledge and experience we had a time of our life! I would highly recommend Eva and Butterfly Weddings to brides everywhere, she is amazing and her services are exceptional. She went above and beyond to make my day just the way I wanted it. THANK YOU, EVA! You are the BEST! Kate

We could not be happier with Eva’s services and help arranging our wedding - she went above and beyond to deliver a flawless and amazing wedding. In fact our wedding was actually a few months ago in July and I have been putting off writing this review as it’s difficult to put into words how happy we were with Eva and Butterfly Weddings. With about 2 months to go before our wedding in Prague at the Mandarin Oriental we realized that it was not going to be possible to get everything ready remotely from our home in New York and that we needed to engage a wedding planner. After speaking with a number of wedding planners in Prague we came across Eva and Butterfly Weddings and decided to engage her - and we are so glad we did! The whole process working with Eva was great - she made everything seem so easy and was always extremely pleasant to work with and always full of energy and positivity. She was incredibly responsive to our many questions and came up with very good options for each of the services we required (florist, quartet, videographer, hair and make-up, cake etc.), making sure that everything was exactly as we wanted down to the finest detail. She made the whole process seem easy and stress free for us. Her suggestions around the timeline for the day and activities to include during the ceremony were also very good and made for a great reception. Her coordination on the day was also amazing - everything was planned to the finest degree and went off without a hitch. In fact for me this was probably the best part of the whole experience - during the wedding itself Eva took care of everything meaning that I was able to relax and really enjoy the day and the experience without any worries or input at all - and everything turned out exactly as planned and expected. If you need a wedding planner in Prague then I would 100% recommend Eva and Butterfly weddings - you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I enlisted Eva from Butterfly Weddings to plan our wedding in Prague last month, and we can definitely state that this was one of our best decisions. Eva exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We do not live in the Czech Republic, but our Prague wedding went off smoothly since we had such a wonderful wedding planner. Besides having a great sense of style and even greater time management and organizational skills, Eva is optimistic, polite, kind and thoughtful. First and foremost, she patiently listened to us and properly considered all our requirements before presenting us with suitable options and interesting alternatives. When I had a mishap with a bridal veil that I had purchased, Eva kindly offered me the veil from her wedding. The same goes for some pieces of decoration. There were so many thoughtful add-ons that showed her dedication to making the days leading up to our wedding and the big of course, extra special. On the wedding day, Eva took care of every item on the list efficiently. Finally, when our guests congratulated us on our marriage, most of them mentioned that we had a fantastic wedding planner. We are very grateful to Eva and extremely happy that she agreed to plan our special day. We wish her all the best and here's to her planning many more beautiful events.

We are so happy to have worked with Eva at Butterfly Weddings Prague to make a fairytale wedding come true in just a few short months! Prague is very special to us as we got engaged on Charles Bridge and we have family from Czech Republic (now living in Canada). Our wedding was stunning and unique, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! The details came together seamlessly by working with Eva considering we are not local and live in Canada :) Firstly, Eva is extremely professional yet very personable and friendly as well. It was a pleasure emailing back and forth to organize details as her response time is prompt and detailed. We knew we wanted to hire Eva after the first few emails with her. Before even signing on as her client, she responded to all emails within hours (despite an international time difference) and also gave us very informative details about weddings in and around Prague. During the planning process, Eva kept everything so organized with vendors and budget. She also really understood our vision with the look and feel we were trying to accomplish therefore recommending very talented vendors who suited our style for florals, décor, venues, cake, etc. Eva is always so pleasant and kind in her emails, always in a good mood :) If any possible issues arise in the planning process, she is so quick to think of a realistic solution ASAP. Thank you Eva for such a great experience and executing a very memorable wedding! Chantelle & Mike Podsiadlo

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding planner, your search is over because you’ve found her! From the very first call we had with Eva, she has been the most kind, thoughtful, and meticulously organised person - no matter how keen and organised you are, she will always be several steps ahead of you! We couldn’t have wished for anyone better to plan our wedding. Eva’s approach to planning took so much stress off of our shoulders - she proposed great vendors based on our budget, which we chose from, and she then handled all of the communication with them. I was terrified of forgetting to answer something or pay someone, but I needn’t have worried because Eva had my back - always patient and professional, she sent me gentle reminders. Most of our communication was done through email or Whatsapp and she was incredibly responsive. We also met at the venue twice to make sure we had the same vision for the day and to discuss any outstanding things. Eva did everything she could to turn our dreams and ideas into reality, and she was also wonderful at giving advice (we were organising a three-language wedding during a pandemic so it was a challenge!) From the smallest decorations to carefully planning out the course of the day, including making sure that everyone knows when and where to stand and speak, her attention to detail and skill in ensuring that everything goes smoothly was remarkable. On the day itself, Eva and her lovely colleague Kristýna coordinated with the vendors and arranged everything absolutely beautifully, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. They were so discreet but always there keeping an eye on things, and incredibly kind in taking care of our guests (my mum made a point of telling me later!) They even organised a special firework surprise with my mother-in-law. The manager at our venue also thought they were brilliant and soon recommended Butterfly Weddings to another couple! Many of our friends and family told us this was the best wedding they have ever been to, everything was perfect and there was always something to do, and that is thanks to Eva. Eva, we cannot thank you enough for giving us the most amazing day of our lives!
