Perfect Wedding Planning – 100% Recommend!
We are so grateful to have found Mirella. Not only was she an exceptional planner, but we’re honored to now call her a friend. Here are a few highlights from our experience:
1. Attention to Detail:
Mirella's attention to detail is unmatched. She requested to be CCed on all emails and genuinely read through every single one. She often knew details before we even shared them with her!
2. Kindness & Calm:
Mirella was unbelievably kind and encouraging throughout the entire process. Her calm and composed demeanor was exactly what we needed while coordinating between many vendors with different styles. It’s no surprise she has such fantastic relationships with many in the Bay Area, including our venue and DJ, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring.
3. Thought Partner:
Mirella was the perfect sounding board for our ideas. With her wealth of experience, she helped us fine-tune our plans, offering invaluable insights when adjustments were needed.
4. Post-Wedding Check-In:
Even after the wedding, Mirella took the time to check in with us, discussing what went well and how she adapted to any unforeseen challenges. Her transparency added an extra layer of trust to the whole process.
If you’re looking for a wedding planner, just send Mirella an email – you’ll see exactly what we mean!

We absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Mirella Riga and An Everlasting Moment. Mirella is everything one needs and should be looking for in a planner. She is kind, compassionate, extremely responsive, organized, creative, diligent, and overall fun to work with. We completely trust Mirella’s advice; every time we come to her with a question or dilemma, she provides critical insight – based in her significant experience – that tips us toward a decision. Moreover, she has great relationships with a number of local organizations, which is reassuring and makes the process more seamless. And you can easily tell that Mirella cares a lot about you, what your vision is for the wedding, and about her work more broadly. Somehow, despite handling many weddings, she has a great memory for the exact details of your big day. Again, extremely reassuring!
We have mentioned several times to each other about how grateful we are that we found Mirella – she has been that amazing. Please look no further; you’ll find a fantastic partner and ultimately a friend in her.
I don't even know where to start. Mirella is a godsend and the BEST at what she does. She made the entire wedding planning process seamless, efficient, organized and most importantly, FUN! I planned my wedding in the Bay Area remotely from Illinois - she immediately shared TOP TIER local vendor recommendations who were so easy to work with and did an amazing job. She was able to help me with venue visits, vendor communication, on-site rental set up etc. since I was a 4.5 hour flight away. Mirella was always available to share her time and knowledge with me and kept us all organized with her online portal. I would recommend Mirella and her team at An Everlasting Moment to any brides-to-be. I can't thank her enough for working with me and my family to make my night an absolute dream. Thank you Mirella!
We can say completely without hyperbole that if we hadn't hired An Everlasting Moment, the wedding we would have ended up with wouldn't have been even close to what we wanted. Without them to keep us on track we likely would have ended up with a wedding full of compromises. But thanks to An Everlasting Moment we had a dream wedding with amazing vendors and everything went off like clockwork.
Mirella saw our vision and made it happen with extreme efficiency. She made it easy for us to stay on track, and more importantly stay excited about our wedding for the entire planning and leadup period.
The pain points that cropped up were largely with the venue, and Mirella took care of everything and let us focus on what was important rather than arguing about the finer points of the vendor agreements.
We'll be recommending An Everlasting Moment to absolutely anyone in the area who's even THINKING about getting married.
Any questions?
We highly recommend hiring An Everlasting Moment as your wedding planner! Wedding planning can be stressful, but it felt manageable with the support of Mirella and An Everlasting Moment. Mirella's checklist and regular check in emails kept us on track throughout the wedding planning process, and prevented us procrastinating and getting overwhelmed. Mirella was always quick to respond to our many questions, helped us with vendors recommendations, and her and Lori made our wedding day a breeze! The day of the wedding I was able to be fully present and trust Mirella and Lori to keep the timeline on track. The day was absolutely perfect and went very smoothly. Having them as your planner is worth the investment, your future self will thank you!
The team at An Everlasting Moment was a huge help in getting my wife and I prepared for our wedding day and we're so happy with our decision to hire the team.
Initially, I didn't think we needed a wedding planner because we booked all of our major vendors before hiring An Everlasting Moment, but our venue required having a day-of coordinator. Mirella and Lorri were so much more than that and helped ensure everything went as planned.
We could tell that they've done this for years based on their familiarity with our venue and their answers to all of our questions. This put us at ease because we were nervous and stressed thinking about how we would juggle all of the details that come with planning a large wedding.
They kept us on track with weekly assignments, helped organize hotel room blocks, attended the wedding rehearsal and coordinated schedules for the big day with all of our vendors. On the day of, they also worked with all of our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page, checked on us very regularly for months leading up to our wedding, and were super responsive any time we had questions or concerns.
I highly recommend for those in need of a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. We were so thankful for Mirella and Lorri's services and couldn't speak more highly of them.
Mirella and her team were beyond amazing and so easy to work with. We had weekly contact with her via email to let us know our tasks for the week. This really helped with staying organized. She was very responsive and knowledgeable on the entire process. Her networking with vendors was great as well. She would give us a list of options to start off based on budget, which immensely helped in saving our time. I knew a lot went into planning a wedding but I had no idea how much. I’m glad I convinced my husband (who really had no idea how much planning went into it) to get a planner. She is so worth every penny and I tell everyone I know to put aside part of their budget for a wedding planner. I know that without Mirella our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did. We highly recommend Mirella and are so glad we found her!
My husband and I recently had the most amazing pleasure of working with Mirella Riga and her assistant Doria for our special day. I cannot express how grateful I am for the truly magical experience she provided from the beginning to the end! We knew we were extremely busy as medical professionals and we knew from the start that Mirella knew what she was doing and would be able to walk us through planning our wedding.
Mirella and her team truly went above and beyond. Her availability was unmatched – it felt like she was there for us every step of the way. Whether it was a quick question or a major decision, she was always just a call, text, or email away providing valuable guidance and reassurance. Her responsiveness and willingness to adapt to our schedules truly set her apart. We never once felt like just another client; she made us feel like a priority at all times. She was there to help us no matter what circumstance. We truly cannot thank Mirella enough for her patience and flexibility planning our anticipated wedding with our busy schedules.
Flexibility is one of Mirella’s greatest strengths. No matter how many changes we threw her way, she tackled each one with grace and a smile. Whether it was adjusting the timeline, accommodating unexpected guest additions, or finding creative solutions to last-minute hiccups, she handled it all seamlessly. I had a few last minute panics and unplanned events and she was there to help me navigate that. For example, our wedding portraits did not come in time and her team was able to help pick up our our portraits for us. That saved me and my husband many hours, which was extremely valuable right before our wedding! Her ability to remain calm under pressure was a lifesaver during the hectic moments leading up to the big day.
Mirella is also warm and personable nature. She isn't just a wedding planner; she becomes a friend who genuinely cares about making your day special. Her attention to detail and dedication to understanding our vision was extraordinary. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and integrated our personalities into every aspect of the wedding, creating an event that felt uniquely "us."
Mirella’s experience in the industry truly sets her apart. The level of organization and precision that Mirella brings to the table is nothing short of astounding. From finding the best vendors and prices to coordinating the vendors on the day of and to managing the timeline on the wedding day, she orchestrated everything flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, she and her team had everything under control. She transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable journey filled with excitement and anticipation. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, thanks to her unwavering dedication and expertise. We truly could not have done it without her.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only exceptionally talented but also genuinely invested in making your day extraordinary, I genuinely cannot recommend anyone more fit than Mirella. We are forever grateful for the memories she helped create. Thank you, Mirella, for being there every step of the way to plan our wedding and making our wedding a day we will cherish forever!
We could not have chosen a better team to help plan and coordinate our wedding! My husband and I chose the Month Of package and added on design elements from The Helper package, since we wanted to be as involved as possible in the planning, but needed help with design and décor. We were also planning our wedding in San Francisco from the Washington, DC, area, so having Mirella, Lorri, and Sue, who were "on the ground" in the Bay Area and had worked with our venue and other vendors, was so incredibly helpful.
On our first call, Mirella was so sweet, professional, and easy to work with, and she was the only planner/coordinator we spoke with who asked if we wanted to incorporate any cultural elements into our wedding - we did, so that was really appreciated. From there, everything was smooth sailing. Mirella's planning portal and weekly check-ins kept us motivated and on schedule, and had us thinking about details that we didn't know we needed to think about. We got to meet Mirella and Lorri in person while we were home over the holidays, and they both had so many great recommendations on how to balance our vision for the wedding with our budget.
Although we only had the Month Of package, Mirella and team were very hands-on way earlier than one month out. They also scheduled several Zoom meetings with just the two of us to touch base on our progress, and stepped in to communicate/attend meetings with our venue. Our rehearsal was super organized and efficient under Lorri's watch. Our wedding day was an absolute dream, thanks to Lorri and Sue, who were onsite. Everything, between the timeline, layout of the venue, and décor throughout, were exactly what we had envisioned. My husband and I felt like we were able to relax and really enjoy the moment, while Lorri and Sue kept us on schedule.
We are so grateful for everything that Mirella, Lorri, and Sue did for us, and would hire them again in a heartbeat!
I cannot thank Mirella and Doria enough for all their work, professionalism, detail and just great to work with! Best money spent on the wedding! Already booking for next daughter's wedding. Both were so easy to work with, always there for questions and suggestions. Day of I knew we were in good hands so just got to enjoy the wedding. Thank you so much!
Mirella and her team were my saviors during our wedding planning process. She is organized and helpful beyond words. We even had some weather scares a week out from the wedding and Mirella kept me calm and always made me feel like we would make it work!
Mirella is literally the best. She helped my sister, my cousin-in-law and one of my best friends plan their wedding, so it wasn’t even a question when mine came around who we would be calling.
As a bride without a Pinterest board and no idea what I wanted for my wedding, I really appreciated that Mirella had a suggestion for literally everything. The venue, the flowers, the dj, the cake, hair and make up, photographer, she had recommended vendors for all of them which just made planning that much easier. She kept us on track with all the planning so that nothing was rushed or stressful, and we didn’t miss anything either!!
The rehearsal and day of she and her team were on it! Keeping things moving, making sure everyone was where they needed to be, and doing it all with kindness and professionalism.
Seriously, if you’re planning your wedding, these are the folks you want helping you. They will make sure the wedding you want is the wedding that is planned, and it will go off as planned!
Thank you, Mirella, Lori and Lizzie! We appreciate you all so much!
We opted for An Everlasting Moment’s Complete Package service for our wedding. And Mirella and her team were amazing!
I’m originally from Southern California and was planning a wedding in Northern California. My goal was to find a Northern California wedding planner who could take care of a large chunk of my wedding planning while I was busy with my move up to the Bay Area. I was so glad I found Mirella! I knew she was the one that could provide us with all the services I needed upon our initial virtual meeting! Her services were very much within our budget. She was very understanding and listened to everything I wanted. She offered great vendors to stay within our budget. And when we opted for another vendor, she made sure to see what aspect we could take away from to remain in our budget. The weekly check-ins that she provided were helpful to keep me on track with everything that needed to be done. I was able to schedule meetings with Mirella or bombard her with questions any time I needed some additional reassurance.
Each meeting with Mirella was reassuring. I am a very anxious person who just wanted the perfect wedding and Mirella helped execute exactly that. I felt so stress-free at my wedding! And I am grateful to Mirella and her team for all the hard work they did behind the scenes.
We had a little floral arrangement emergency a few days before the big day along with a little change to our wedding entourage the day before our wedding and Mirella & her assistant were quick to figure it all out for me so I wouldn’t have to stress about any of it.
I highly recommend going with An Everlasting Moment for your wedding planning! Mirella and her team only offer the best!
As soon as we hired Mirella, she made us a weekly schedule to keep us on track of the wedding. She also made great recommendations for us to find our caterer and photographer. Through out our year long+ planning, she answered all of our random questions in a timely manner, and kept us aware if she was away for a week (but would still answer emails). And on our wedding day, she and her assistant Lorri made sure everyone was on schedule, and made sure we got fed and made it worry-free.
Mirella and her team worked with us for almost 8 months leading up to the big day. Throughout the process, Mirella was professional, kind, and quick to respond to questions/concerns. From weekly check-in emails to an online planning portal, she made us feel engaged in the planning process with manageable tasks. On the day of, her team ensured that everything came together beautifully and that the entire event ran smoothly. Mirella clearly has so much industry knowledge and experience; the value it provides is simply unmatched. I would highly recommend An Everlasting Moment to any other bride that is looking!
Mirella was so amazing to work with in planning our daughter's wedding. Her attention to detail is exceptional. The weekly reminders were helpful in keeping us on track, and left no strings untied. Although there were several issues that arose the day of the wedding, we were clueless as she handled everything quietly and professionally. She has a lot of experience and knowledge of the industry, and the value she provides for her services and expertise is extremely high! She and Sue worked their tails off the day of the wedding going above and beyond the scope of their job duties to make our daughter's day the most perfect day! I would highly recommend Mirella and her team at An Everlasting Moment to everyone planning a wedding! We are so grateful for everything they did!
Mirella and her team were helpful, supportive, efficient and reliable. They were consistently available to help with all questions and issues, big and small. They accommodated all of our needs with ease and handled everything with professionalism and grace. They thought of important details we would never have remembered and they addressed anything we brought up immediately. We never could've managed our wedding and reception without their guidance and support. Any time I asked about some new detail, Mirella was always quick to reassure me that she'd already thought of it and had it taken care of. Thanks to Mirella and her team, our day went off exactly as planned. They even handled last minute snafus quietly and helped make sure things went smoothly without bothering us about little details. We cannot imagine how we would've managed without them. Now that our wedding is past, we miss our conversations and interactions with Mirella. We're going to think of excuses to keep in touch with her! :)
Words cannot express how amazing Mirella and her team are. Mirella was so helpful throughout the entire wedding process, from referring me to a majority of the vendors we utilized (which were all amazing) to ensuring the day went off perfectly. On the wedding day, Mirella made it so I did not have to lift a finger, to my knowledge absolutely nothing went wrong (and if it did, she handled it without needing to worry me). I would recommend Mirella to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner or coordinator!
If you are looking for an experienced and calm wedding planner to help you plan the wedding of your dreams, look no further! We are so happy we chose Mirella and her team to help us plan our wedding! Mirella constantly went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, and made planning our out-of-state wedding stress free.
Our first wedding venue had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19, and Mirella was not only able to recommend new venues, but also helped us review all of our existing vendor contracts for the date change. She is extremely detail-oriented, and what impressed us the most is that we could send her our ideas and she was able to recommend vendors that fit the specific style we were going for. She is also very communicative and responsive and answered all of our questions.
You can tell that Mirella truly cares about her clients— On the day of the wedding, she and her team were working constantly behind the scenes to make sure everything was happening according to schedule-- Mirella even bustled my dress for me! We are going to miss working with her so much. My husband and I truly had an unforgettable day, and we are so grateful for An Everlasting Moment.
Mirella and her team helped us create the most beautiful, magical, perfect wedding day ever (and during a pandemic to boot!) at the Brazilian Room. We ended up working with Mirella much longer than anticipated after our May 2020 wedding was postponed to October 16th, 2021, and I truly think the wait was absolutely worth it. She was the ultimate professional and helped us feel calm and organized despite all of the uncertainty throughout the process due to the pandemic. Her weekly check-ins and helpful organizational tools made wedding planning feel so much less overwhelming. We took it together one step at a time and my husband and I ended up with our absolute dream wedding! Mirella did an excellent job coordinating all of our vendors, creating a timeline, and herding the cats (our large 14-person bridal party, family, etc.!) throughout the weekend and weeks leading up. We are so appreciative of her warmth, professionalism, and keeping us going throughout the process, despite being delayed a year and a half! We really could not have done it without her. I’ll always be grateful I took my married big brother’s advice when we started budgeting and planning: “Trust me- you need a wedding coordinator.”
Mirella and team were outstanding and we couldn't recommend them more! From the beginning, Mirella sold us on her quick response time and focus on keeping us within our budget. She followed up with us weekly to keep us on track and even got involved in helping us with things outside of the wedding day (i.e. when we had troubles with our hotel contract negotiations). On the day of, we had a minor issue with the shuttle going to the wrong location and she coordinated with our venues/vendors to make sure we got back on track. Overall, she turned what could have been a very stressful process into the most beautiful day that we'll look back on fondly for the rest of our lives. You won't go wrong with hiring Mirella and her team. :)
We highly recommend An Everlasting Moment wedding planning services! Mirella was a huge blessing in disguise for us as we navigated through having a “Covid” wedding during 2021. Our initial wedding date for 2020 was rescheduled and Mirella was there every step of the way to ensure things were transferred over to the new date flawlessly. She helped with coordinating new vendors and kept us up to date with any changes. The day of the ceremony Mirella and Lori did an amazing job in setting up the venue and really delivered on our vision. Everything came out perfectly and we could not have been more happier on our special day. Thank you Mirella!
We had such a great experience with Lorri and Mirella from An Everlasting Moment! They were super patient with all our questions during the planning process, giving favor ideas and making sure we had plenty of vendor options to choose from, and they were incredibly organized, getting us set up on a planning portal where all of the details from seating charts to decor were housed and sending weekly checklists of what we needed to get done.
They left no stone unturned on the days leading up to the actual wedding day, coordinating with all of our vendors on logistics and to create the timeline for the day, bringing extra supplies in case we forgot to purchase or order anything, and putting on a great rehearsal so we were prepared day-of! For the wedding, the details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations, and they managed to do it all without needing direction or input from us!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. Lorri and Mirella from An Everlasting Moment were and are so sweet, and personable and truly made our wedding day a stress-free and perfect event!
Mirella and Lorri were absolutely amazing, the communication was amazing, Mirella kept us on track, and she was on top of every detail. I would HIGHLY recommend An ever lasting moment to anyone needing help with their wedding planning.
Thank you ladies for being absolutely amazing! ❤️ Thank You for being a huge part of our forever. ❤️
Just do it, book Mirella and don't second guess it any further !
We chose “the month of package'' and were recommended to Mirella by our caterer.
Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Mirella and Lori. This power duo brought our wedding vision to life and could not thank them enough. We had a small wedding of 33 people and every detail was perfect.
We were supposed to have our wedding in 2020 and rescheduled for May 2021. During the whole process, Mirella was in constant communication. We received weekly emails with tasks that we were encouraged to complete to help make the planning process run smoothly (it really helped). Mirella is a professional and ready to fix any wedding issues. We had one vendor who was very disorganized and Mirella was quick to sort out the issues that arose. Mirella’s calm and positive personality made the wedding even more special. Our wedding day was so enjoyable because of Mirella and her assistant Lori. Thank you thank you thank you!
Don't miss your opportunity to work with this wonderful wedding planner and her team:)
Mirella and Lizzy were awesome to work with.
Throughout the whole process of picking vendors, venues, band, catering etc., Mirella and Lizzy allowed us to drive the choices made. They never forced any opinions on us, but rather provided useful suggestions, and we never felt pressured. What I appreciated even more was leading up to the day of, probably t-minus a month, Mirella and Lizzy started to take things out of my wife and I's hands so that we wouldn't be stressing and worrying.
The day of went really well, and my wife and I had a ton of fun. I know we had to re-arrange a couple things during the reception and they handled all of it without worrying my wife and I.
They also had fantastic vendor recommendations which saved us a ton of money. I would recommend to my closest friends with confidence.
Mirella, Lizzy, and Lorri provided unending care and attention to detail throughout our entire wedding planning experience. On the days leading up to the wedding, we encountered a few bumps along the way with vendors (due to no fault of An Everlasting Moment), but Mirella and her team provided solutions to every single hiccup encountered. On the day of our wedding, her team executed the event flawlessly and allowed us to have the perfect wedding! I wholeheartedly recommend this team for anyone looking for a wedding planner, and I would use them again without any reservations!
Our original event coordinator backed out last minute and we were really freaking out because we only have 3 weeks left before our big day. Thanks to Mirella for saving us and helping us made our special day a success. She coordinated our ceremony and she really did a great job. Everything was organized and we didn’t have to worry about anything because she was there. She was very professional and very sweet. She responded to us pretty quickly and was able to summarize what our ceremony would look like. She was open to any questions or suggestions that we had which made it easier on our part as well. We highly recommend her!
Mirella was incredible to work with. I did't have any family or close friends nearby to help plan my wedding and with my work schedule, I knew I couldn't do this alone. We went with the complete package and I'm so glad we did. From the weekly emails keeping me on task to the speediness and depth of her responses, her services were worth every penny. The wedding day went so smoothly and ran on time! All of the vendors that she recommended and we ended up using were equally professional and met my high expectations. I would, without a doubt, recommend her to any family or friend looking for an excellent, organized, and experienced wedding planner in the Bay Area!
There isn't enough I can say about Mirella and Lizzy. These ladies made our day absolutely amazing. They are fun, nice and light-hearted. Not once did they seem stressed or worried which was amazing because I then spent my day truly relaxed and enjoying every moment thanks to them! ( I even saw my reception hall and my vision and started tearing up because it was perfect! they made it all so so perfect!)
Mirella went above and beyond letting me stock pile decor at her house since we had just moved out of state! She also was able to help me make decisions for our venue and decor that seemed on brand with what we wanted and actually ended up saving us timing, money and future hassles! Not to mention her handy online profile helped us all stay organized for a seamless day!
At the end of then night I was truly sad I wouldn't see them anymore because we had become so close over the months! I consider An Everlasting Moment to be a top notch, professional, considerate and fun event planning team! I have recommended them to all my newly engaged friends!
Mirella was incredibly efficient at planning and executing our wedding from day 1! She is super easy to work with, well-organized, and experienced, setting up a timeline for us to chart our planning progress, working with the tight constraints from both us and our venue, and relieving us of the load of wading through a sea of potential vendors.
She was patient with my nit-pickiness, and would also not be shy to let me know if and why something I thought would look cool would actually turn out...not how I pictured it. And she was always right!
The event itself was beautifully coordinated, and went as smoothly as possible. Mirella and Lizzy integrated all the vendors together seamlessly, and kept my wife and I looped in for all of it. Despite our timeline getting somewhat disrupted by wedding day shenanigans, they worked with the vendors behind the scenes to smooth out the timeline, and made sure we were kept informed without distracting us (or distracting from us!).
Thanks Mirella and Lizzy!
I had a perfect experience with Mirella and Lizzy. We had a small, backyard wedding for our event and needed someone to help the day go smoothly. Before the event, Mirella provided a wealth of resources and advice that helped out tremendously. The day of the wedding, Lizzy and her team made sure that every detail was attended to and I was able to enjoy my day. I HIGHLY recommend An Everlasting Moment!
My wife and I hired Mirella and her team to help plan our dream wedding. They were very present throughout the process, and very friendly and easy to work with. Where Mirella and her team really shined was there calmness. Mirella and her team took care of everything on the wedding day allowing wedding participants and guests to simply enjoy the day.
Mirella was so easy to work with in planning our celebration! She was knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. She had many products, vendors and previous creative ideas to share in guiding us through our event. And extremely flexible, quick to respond and go the extra mile-even while on vacation!
Thank you for the wonderful job planning our wedding! It went off without a hitch and everyone had a great time. We were happy that everything went so smoothly, so we could mostly just relax and enjoy the day (besides stressing about our first dance!). It was easy working with you and we appreciated the weekly checkins.
As a slightly anxious person, the biggest goal of our wedding was to stay calm. Mirella was a big reason that my husband and I, and our parents, stayed so calm and happy on our wedding day! Mirella and her team executed everything that was asked of them, and more. She was so easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. She kept us on task and organized with little bits to do each week as we got closer to the wedding, and was always available to lend a hand when needed (and as we got closer to the wedding, we needed her more and more!) I can't recommend her services enough, to keep everyone involved in the wedding on task and calm! I am the youngest of sisters who have already been married, and I am the only one to use a wedding planner. This was the first wedding that my parents were actually able to enjoy, because they didn't need to worry about anything! Mirella and her team took care of everything! My husband and I are so happy with how our wedding turned out, and a big part of that was the careful planning and coordination of Mirella!
Mirella was extremely helpful for coordinating our home reception after my husband and I were married in Hawaii. Our event was very casual but she still gave attention to our needs and made sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. There was a small issue with the beverage delivery and Mirella handled it so that my husband and I were completely stress free and the guests barely noticed an issue. Thank you Mirella!
They were very helpful in keeping us organized and assigning tasks we needed to do (and didn't even consider) for being totally prepared for the big day. Mirella made walk-through and was even flexible to meet us on the weekend which was above and beyond. She also helped pick décor and coordinated some lawn games our guest really enjoyed. We were very pleased with her work.
My husband and I started planning for our September 2018 wedding from late 2017 and given that we were both located in opposite ends of the world (Taipei and San Francisco), we couldn’t have made it all happen without An Everlasting Moment (Mirella and Lizzy).
We started with overall budget, followed by wedding theme, guest counts, going through list of suitable venues and locking down the date in time so we could move forward with the rest of the planning.
Mirella made sure we're on track with the timeline and kept us informed and responded to our queries promptly. She’s knowledgeable in the industry, provided us with insights and wedding steps 1, 2, and 3, what’s a must, and what can be flexible. And definitely very resourceful; gave us variety of suggestions and options to select from for all categories: Florals, decor, F&B, hair and makeup.
Our planning went very well, and on the day coordination with decor and set up were well assisted. Mirella and Lizzy made sure we’re on time with the program, and stayed till the end to make sure the tear down was on time to return the venue with no delay.
We could not express how happy we were with An Everlasting Moment! All the positive vibes, being so supportive and helpful. We’re just very lucky to have such a great team coming together, putting the pieces into one joyful whole!
Mirella did a fantastic job coordinating our rehearsal and ceremony. Everything went seamlessly and everyone knew what they were doing. There were no hiccups, everything was on time, and I am still getting compliments about how perfect everything was! I would highly recommend An Everlasting Moment, she was straightforward and to the point while also being extremly pleasant and helpful. Thank you again for making our day perfect!
AMAZING! I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. From being responsive about if the things I'm picking is a good price to referring my DJ (who was amazing) to making sure I always had water during the pictures. The. Best! SO responsive and polite and just ON IT!
Mirella and Lizzy were amazing to work with! We needed a day of planner to help with the details that day. They went above and beyond! Mirella was amazing with her quick responses to my emails/questions. We met a few times before the wedding and she helped with a few issues we had along the way. Lizzy was our planner the day of and she was a dream! I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took care of everything and if there were any problems, I sure didn’t know about them! She kept me stress free and enjoying every minute of my wedding! Definitely worth every penny!
Mirella and her team at An Everlasting Moment are TOP NOTCH. They were critical to us having a joyful, calm and unforgettable wedding. We HIGHLY recommend them. Mirella is a pleasure to work with-- always responsive, always pleasant, super-on-top-of it with her organization, and just a joy to be around. She exudes confidence and professionalism. And her connections in the industry are really strong. Highly recommend her!!
Mirella is amazing! I’m so glad that we found her and were able to work with her for our wedding. We selected Mirella as she had prior experience at our venue which was key for us as it’s pretty much a DIY venue so we needed a wedding planner/ coordinator who would be able to have vision, bring together all our ideas and execute on the day of. Mirella did all this and more! Her experience and guidance throughout the planning process helped to keep us on track for planning every detail of our dream wedding. She had great suggestions on what to consider - from linens to decor ideas to all the critical items and etiquette to follow. Mirella also helped to coordinate all our vendors for the day of and helped to align on expectations prior to the big day (we had difficult caterers who Mirella was able to work with to get the service we required). Mirella was with us for the entire journey and we kept open communication each week which really helped to bring everything together perfectly for our wedding day. We live in SoCal and our wedding was in NorCal and Mirella was fantastic in keeping in regular contact and meeting up when we traveled to the Bay for wedding planning trips.
Our wedding was perfect - Mirella and her team set up all the decor in the venue and brought our vision to life. We were delighted by how everything came together so exquisitely. Mirella's expertise and attention to detail and stellar planning, coordination and execution skills helped to make our wedding the fairytale that we had envisioned. Thank you Mirella for all your hard work and making our wedding beautiful :)
We partnered with An Everlasting Moment in March 2017 for our wedding that took place in April 2018. I say partnered instead of hired because the wedding planning process is really a partnership process and it's not one sided. We were so pleased with Mirella and Lizzy at an Everlasting Moment! We live in Nashville and were planning a wedding in the Bay Area and Mirella was amazing to work with. We made many trips out to the Bay Area and Mirella always made time to see us when we were in town and helped us finalize our venue and she asked the right questions of the onsite venue coordinators. Things we wouldn't have thought of with regards to timeline, decor, vendor setup, etc. She really made us feel comfortable in trusting her with giving us her honest opinion and feedback on things. She also helped with making our favors, getting all kinds of shipments from us from TN and making sure that everything flowed seamlessly the day of the wedding. She helped us find a great florist and helped us to vet all vendors we considered. No details were overlooked and nothing was wasted during the day of the wedding. Photographs we brought in were moved around from the ceremony area to the reception and flowers from cocktail tables were reused in a beautiful way for where our cake was. One example where Mirella and Lizzy went above and beyond was the fact that they actually picked up our wedding cake from the bakery in San Francisco and delivered it to Los Gatos! That was really outstanding that they really helped us in every single way imaginable. Lastly, I love how Mirella kept us in check by communicating every single week with us via e-mail with our to do's/checklist. It made things easy for us as long as we were holding up our end of the bargain by getting her the info she needed in a timely manner. Overall, An Everlasting Moment is 5 stars across the board. No only was our wedding fantastic, but we have a new lifelong friends and we're so happy! Thank you Mirella and Lizzy! -Z&M
An Everlasting Moment made the wedding experience easy and fun. We used Mirella for both our wedding and honeymoon planning. She helped us find and connect with various vendors. This really helped us make the right choices for our very special moment. Our wedding day was amazing and mostly stress-free. Mirella's weekly e-mails helped us stay on point and make sure everything was taken care of. Mirella and her team took care of decorations and set up for both the ceremony and the reception.
It was hard for my husband and I to find a day of coordinator so we did a lot of research. What caught our attention with Mirella was her flexibility, friendliness, and responsiveness. Not only is she a day of coordinator for the big day, but her other packages describe her dedication to each couple.
We met her in person before making a decision, and when we did, we already knew she was the one. My husband and I had a HUGE wedding. The fact that our ceremony was 45 minutes away from our reception made it difficult for us to make sure everything went smoothly. Mirella and Lizzy were there to hold it down. We had a ton of stuff to give her since we had our own centerpieces, stationery, decorations, etc. so I was worried they weren't going to be able to bring everything to the venue all within a few hours, but sure enough they did! We had a guest count of over 250 guests so you can only imagine all the stuff we had (our venue allowed us to do our own decorations so we did).
Everything turned out so beautiful! The day of wedding, Mirella also made sure that I was okay, not stressed, and that our timeline was on track. Even after the 8hrs we agreed to she kept asking if I needed anything else before they left and I thought that was really thoughtful of her because she didn't want to see a bride overwhelmed.
All in all, we were really happy with our decision and you will be too! An Everlasting Moment will be there to guide you for your perfect day, you won't regret it :)
Mirella was exactly what we were looking for: experienced, fun, on point, inventive, and supportive! My husband and I really needed someone to keep us on task with all the details, and she was very good at checking in with us each week, and even each day as the event neared. She even came up with a creative way to handle some unexpected hiccups with the weather! She was very calm, easy to work with, and fun. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Mirella and Lizzy were great! Lizzy served as our day-of coordinator, and assisted us with some planning in the last three weeks before the wedding. Overall, we were very happy we hired An Everlasting Moment. They did a great job coordinating the timeline with the vendors, and everything went quite smoothly the day of. Also, they helped us with some last-minute printing services, which was a huge relief. One minor complaint was that sometimes we had to communicate something multiple times before it registered with them, but they were good about laying out the wedding timeline and the list of things they were going to do very explicitly, so we could see if they missed something. With a little back-and-forth, everything was fine.
I previous booked my venue at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco but they cancelled all their weddings the summer of 2017 which then I had to change dates, venue and planner. As such, I was on a hunt for another planner. I talked to and email several Planners, none of which I felt good about or were responsive. Mirella was the only one who called back and offered a facetime interview. After, our questions were answered, my fiance and I booked her shortly thereafter. Although I booked the Month of Coordinator package, she followed up months prior and sent me weekly reminders and kept me on track with my to do list. The online aisle planner that she uses helped me stay organized. She was also available to speak whenever we had questions or needed inspiration. On the day of our wedding, she and her assistant Lizzy pulled off a fabulous wedding day for me and my husband. They coordinated everything on time and set up my decor perfectly! I would highly recommend Mirella and Lizza for your event!
