Ola U. Married on 06/19/2021Thank you for helping us live our forever day!
My husband and I are so grateful for Mirella and her team! True to the name, there is no way we would have had the memorable day that we had without having worked with An Everlasting Moment.
I first found Mirella after having interviewed a few different wedding planners. I wanted to make sure that I found somebody who was punctual, engaged, professional, could give good perspective and guidance and would plan this wedding no differently than they would plan for their own wedding or their own child's wedding. I found all of that and more in working with Mirella.
I'm actually kind of sad that our wedding is over because if I could continue working with her, I totally would! I always look forward to her Monday morning emails outlining all the things I needed to get done for that week. Working in the tech industry myself, it's so helpful to have that structure and guidance in project management, this way ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
It is incredibly difficult to plan a wedding during a global pandemic. It was especially difficult in that during the time we were wedding planning, my brother passed away. At that moment my attention had to shift to funeral planning amongst other things. Mirella hopped right in and began looking for venues for us and getting all the big stuff done so that I could focus on my family. I really am so very grateful for her showing up for me and my family in this way. It is the most thoughtful thing that a perfect stranger could do--we literally had just started working together maybe a week or so before. But she just jumped on in and began emailing and hopping on phone calls with different vendors to ensure that nothing got left by the wayside. It really built so much trust for me. I didn't have to check in to ask her if she had done anything or what she was working on because she made sure to copy me on emails and also kept me in the loop in a way that was comfortable for me.
Throughout the process of planning the wedding, Mirella was just fabulous in all her recommendations. She has so many different vendors that she's worked with in past, so it was so easy for her to share with me guidance and perspective to help us make decisions for our wedding. She also was just so willing to go above and beyond and literally everything that she did and just filling in wherever she was needed!
I'm so so grateful for her and all the work that she and her team did on the day of our wedding. Having a 400+ guest list, and helping to navigate through all the restrictions due to COVID-19, everything that Mirella did was to help us with knowing what options we had. She often worked directly with the vendors without me even having to say anything. She literally just took control and got stuff done.
The day of our wedding was so beautiful! You often wonder if you'll hire somebody who will make you feel as though you don't have to worry about anything on that day except for smiling for pictures, drinking lots of champagne, and partying with friends and family. That's exactly how my wedding day went! She really made everything move so smoothly! And it's no wonder--throughout the entire planning process, Mirella was always happy to hop on zoom calls, come to site visits, hop on phone calls, respond on text messages, respond on email, I'm pretty sure she would have also responded via flight pigeon if necessary! She is just that responsive!!!
I literally NEVER write reviews for anything. But I felt it was so necessary to praise Mirella and just the amazing person that she is. She and her team are just the most wonderful people on planet Earth! I am so, so, so grateful for everything that she has done and her team for really helping to pull off such an amazing day that will always sit in our memory forever and ever. She's not just a wedding planner, she's become part of our family. I hope to use her for planning my baby shower and any other planning needs I have. Thank you so very much An Everlasting Moment. xoxo -

Kathryn Married on 10/16/2021The best wedding coordinator we could've hoped for!
Mirella Riga 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.” -

Maura S. Married on 08/07/2021Incredible Planner for a Stress-Free & Perfect Day!
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!

Elizabeth Married on 09/25/2020
the BEST wedding planner!
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:)

Calm, Cool and Collected!
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! -

Alona F. Married on 09/15/2019Helped us made our big day successful!
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! -

Angela Married on 09/08/2019Wonderful experience
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! -

Conor D. Married on 10/17/2018Truly Wonderful Experience
I can not overstate how amazing our experience was with Mirella and Lizzy from An Everlasting Moment. They're professionalism, kindness, innovation, & attention to detail are just a few of the elements that make the service they provide absolutely world class. Between the weekly checklists, thoughtful check-ins, and ongoing support - there was never a moment in which my wife and I didn't feel that everything was in complete and total control. I would recommend them to anyone and am truly grateful for the beautiful weekend they provided us. -

Chen H. Married on 09/09/2018All the feels - Efficient, Warm, Helpful
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!-

Wedding Day Perfection!
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! -
