  • Best Wedding Decision I Made!

    Verified review
    Shonte R.Oct 9, 2024

    The best decision I made when planning our wedding was hiring Menaza, AKA ‘Superwoman’!!! My husband and I are an international couple that were looking to get married in New York and therefore needed to hire someone to assist us. Menaza’s resume and brochure was impressive! But when I spoke to her personally, we hit it off right away and hiring her was a no brainer! She was the calm I needed for my Type C/A personality! Menaza wore a million hats to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams! She handled all of the vendor bookings, contracts, logistics, and organizing of timelines. She even provided bonus services of putting together all of our florals! She created our bouquets, boutonnieres, table centre pieces and provided all the little details, like our card box, table seating mirror, welcome sign and offered to create and print our stationary. She brainstormed with us on concepts, helped us create a wedding & bar logo and accompanied us to venue visits, during our several visits to New York. Even when I had issues ordering items online, she stepped up and ordered them on my behalf! She advised on the tipping culture of the US, assisted with our marriage licence & officiant application and was open and honest about what sort of costs we should expect for certain items. Menaza researched and secured some amazing vendors for us and ensured that on our wedding day we were taken care of! (IE, I expressed to her that I really wanted sushi during cocktail hour... and while I was taking family photos she showed up with two plates stacked full of sushi with a BIG SMILE on her face! Lol) I was SOOOOO HAPPY!! One thing that stood out about Menaza over other planners we interviewed was that she was always available, we weren’t limited to a number of phone calls & contact times. I messaged her with every thought I had and within a reasonable amount of time she responded. We are still getting rave reviews on how amazing our wedding was and it would not have been possible without her. We had many family members and guests that were asking to meet her as they were so impressed!! Menaza went above and beyond to be there for us, even as she celebrated her own life’s blessings, we are forever grateful for her! HIRE HER! You won’t regret it!

    Working with Menaza of M.O. Everlasting Weddings made my dream wedding a reality! I have dreamed about a big beautiful wedding since I was a small kid and I had a vision for it. Menaza was not only able to see that vision, she brought it to life. From organizing all of the vendors, to communicating with the wedding parties, down to the littlest of details she thought of everything. She knows what you need to do and when you need to do it, she is organized, professional, and caring. You could not dream of a better wedding planner if you tried, go with M.O. and your dreams will come true!

  • Wonderful Experience with Menaza!

    Menaza of M.O. Everlasting Weddings was such an amazing planner for our wedding in March 2023. She was a complete life-saver and her calmness, professionalism, patience, and leadership in the face of any and all challenges that arose led to an amazing night! Menaza helped execute our vision perfectly and was always available for any and all questions we had. Everyone who interacted with Menaza, from family and friends to vendors, commended her work. Our DJ gave her this review, “Menaza was perfect to work with. She was nice, fun, had a great energy and still kept everything--and everyone--in line.” We can’t recommend Menaza and M.O. Everlasting Weddings enough!

  • 100% worth the money!

    We were unsure if having a day of coordinator would be worth it, but with Menaza, she took care of EVERYTHING! From the vendors, to the change in plans because of the rain, everything went perfectly. She assisted guests, held my dress in the rain and ensured we were taken care of. We could not recommend menaza enough!
