As You Wish, weddings & events

As You Wish was absolutely amazing! Cortney's organization and helpfulness were beyond anything we could have hoped for. I truly do not know what I would have done without her, especially on the big day. I only wish they would have been my first call when I began planning! Cortney's expertise and calm demeanor kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. She ensured that the entire day flowed perfectly, managing every little detail (even the ones I had no idea of!) so that we could relax and enjoy the celebration. Without Cortney, I would have completely lost track of time and missed out on some precious moments. Her ability to coordinate seamlessly and handle any unexpected issues was invaluable. I highly recommend As You Wish to anyone planning a wedding. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our day perfect made all the difference. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories!!

As You Wish Planners went above & beyond to ensure that we had the most seamless, stress-free, & magical wedding day possible! We feel incredibly fortunate & are super impressed by the caliber of warmth, dedication, & professionalism that our coordinating staff upheld. From the first consult with Monica, we knew that we'd be in terrific hands while planning our out-of-state celebration. Monica was consistently prompt & detailed with communication, & did a tremendous job assisting with our vendor hunt (photographer, transportation, seamstress) & timeline creation. Ashlyn, our second day-of coordinator, was so sweet & immediately responsive with any bridal needs between our church & reception site. She also lived up to her reputation as the "veil wrangler" (moniker coined by Monica)! Even family members of the bride & groom parties were very impressed & felt well taken care of by Team As You Wish. Couldn't recommend more!

I highly recommend the As You Wish team, Monica, and especially the Lead planner Cortney as well as Savannah who helped us the day of. Both myself and my (now) husband Ben, had the absolute best time planning with Cortney. She thought of every detail and went above and beyond throughout the whole process. She made everything seamless and easy to accomplish. Every one of our friends and family who attended our wedding had nothing but amazing things to say about the whole day/night. I got so many great recommended vendors from As You Wish as well. It was the best day of our lives and we want to go back and do it all again. I highly recommend As You Wish for your wedding planning needs, specifically Cortney and Savannah.

Our experience with As You Wish Planners was an absolutely phenomenal experience! From start to finish, Monica and Cortney exceeded every expectation. Their attention to detail, creative ideas, and seamless execution made our big day truly unforgettable. Their communication was impeccable, which was something we were initially worried about given we were planning our wedding from states away. Monica made the process stress-free for us, and was always there for our random questions and ideas. Her expertise and professionalism shone through in every decision made, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Cortney did an amazing job listening to us describe the overall vibe we were hoping to accomplish, and with her amazing design skills she brought it to life flawlessly. If you're looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers excellence, you've found the perfect team!

February 2024 Words cannot express my gratitude for the level of professionalism Monica and her team displayed at my daughter's wedding in February. She goes above and beyond to make the event successful. It was my pleasure in the journey with providing and help with all the plans of the decorations for the Ceremony and Reception along with my daughter, Leah and now her husband Ryan. Monica and her team was exceptional in setting up everything. She made sure to check with me, when a couple of things needed a minor change. While at the same time, respectfully, keeping me in line to NOT get involved in helping out. (This was a bit of a challenge for me, so a HUGE... Thank you for this - ha ha! ) I booked the basic package and added the set-up and breakdown option. If you are organized and have everything boxed and labeled- you will have the same wonderful and stress-free experience as I did. Booking the set-up and break-down package is SO, SO worth it! Monica and her team were GREAT! Also, having Monica's husband, Patrick as DJ was an added plus for a fun-filled night! Overall, I believe Leah & Ryan's wedding was lovely and magical as a night to remember could be! Anita Davis

A cold call to DJ PJ put me in touch with the lovely Monica last year. Little did we know that they had a one stop shop for ALL of our wedding needs. If you are getting married at Casa Feliz... these are the people you need. They work with that venue 40+ times per year. They all know each other well and understand how to work together. Monica, Cortney, and Savannah are EXCELLENT. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Cortney is the BEST enforcer we have and I felt safe knowing that if we had any unruly or unwanted guests that she would take care of it. So so so honored to have met this people and to have worked with them.

I highly recommend As You Wish! Cortney was AMAZING as were Monica and Ashlyn. Their level of detail was impressive. Pay the extra money for set up and clean up. It was worth it! Cortney was prompt and always ahead of us at every step of the planning process. Hiring As You Wish was such a great decision!!

So grateful to have Monica and her team help plan our wedding! They are experts in their field! After seeing her work on my sisters wedding, I knew exactly who to choose as a planner. Monica set our expectations for other vendors/pricing, provided referrals, assisting with decor, and organized our wedding day. I felt so much more relaxed knowing she was there to help and trusted her decisions. So happy we were able to work with her!

Monica and her team were amazing! They really helped make our wedding day the best! We live out of state and were worried about having a wedding in Florida without being able to physically tour or contact many of the places we were interested in. With Monica's expertise and Cortney's decor experience, we were able to choose a beautiful venue and have the perfect vendors to create a wonderful atmosphere with incredible food. Not only that, but we could just have fun on our wedding day and not have to worry about the little details. Monica and her team put us completely at ease. Thank you as You Wish!

1 year later and I wanted to come on here and post about As You Wish and Cortney who was my wedding planner through this company. Not only did she go above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed leading up to my wedding but she was so personable and was an amazing friend through it all. She handled all discussions with vendors and tackled any last minute problems that arised. She even personally crafted all the wedding gifts for my guest. I had the best day because of her. Day of went smoothly and all drama that happened between vendors or other issues I had no idea about because she took that on. I couldn’t recommend As You Wish and hiring Cortney enough!

Monica and Cortney were awesome! We were planning a destination wedding from a couple states away, so it was very important to me to have someone in the area who could advise us on area vendors. Not only did Monica and Cortney help us find an all-star team of vendors, but Monica gave us great guidance for all the questions I never knew I had on wedding planning (y’all, there is so much more to wedding planning than what you initially think, so having someone to lean on who really knows their stuff and will give it to you straight, like Monica, is such a huge help). But the day-of is where they shined the most - I’m usually Type A, needing to be in all the details, but I was so relaxed the day of the wedding because I knew the team I was working with, led by Monica, had everything covered. Even when weather forced us inside, Monica managed all the details to ensure the end result was even better than what I had originally envisioned! So grateful to have had the As You Wish team helping bring our dream to life!

We loved working with Monica and Cortney! The two of them helped us make our dream wedding happen, and we couldn't be more thankful! From the beginning Monica made sure she was available to answer our questions, and set us up with a great website (Aisle Planner) to help make the planning process easier. It had an extensive checklist as well as budget tools that we used, and we also used it to make a website for our guests. Cortney helped us come up with the style/decor, and made us a vision board that really helped us with color coordination and decorations. The signs she made for the wedding were personalized and so special! Both Monica and Cortney went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect; we can't thank them enough for everything they did!

Monica and Cortney are the best wedding planners EVER!!! When my daughter got engaged I thought how can we plan a wedding with our busy schedules and then we found Monica. She took care of all the details elimantes my stress and made everything run perfectly. She even rubbed the brides feet during the reception when she was cramped up from dancing. From start to finish all we had to do was pick out what we liked and then enjoy the wedding. No stress just hands down pros that are so sweet. Thank you Monica, Cortney, DJ Patrick and the crew for a fun stress free wedding. The couple loved it and had a blast

Monica was very instrumental in helping us go through the wedding day schedule without any obstacles. She is detail oriented and had a plan in place to cover all of the needs that we had on our special day. She ensured that my husband and I were a priority all day long and it took a lot of the weight off of our shoulders. She had great communication and kept me up to date with any last minute changes. She is so resourceful with her list of vendors and online planning tool. She helped make our vision come to life, while helping us stay within our budget. Her and her assistant helped the day go so smoothly and they ensured we were calm and well taken care of the whole evening. We are so thankful to have had her and her assistant a part of our special day.

When planning our wedding, we saw on wedding groups that a day of coordinator was a must. When I found Monica on the Knot, I messaged her and we set up a time to talk. I instantly felt like she was a good fit and knew what she was talking about. I am so glad I chose for our day of coordinator for our wedding. Both her and Cortney were absolutely amazing. Cortney helped with creating some of our decor and seating chart, and also helped set up and everything in between on the day of. Multiple guests at the wedding thought everything was very well organized and everything went smoothly. I was super stressed leading up to the wedding, but the day of was stress free, all thanks to Monica. She made sure we were fed, hydrated and having a good time. Monica and Cortney even helped me take my heels off after the ceremony and put slippers on. I would definitely recommend Monica and her team to anyone looking for a planner or day of coordinator for their wedding. Thank you!!!!

Monica was absolutely wonderful to work with. I'm so glad we decided to hire her for our wedding day. She helped us choose the most amazing vendors and took such good care of us from the planning process all the way through to the end of the wedding day. Monica went through all of our contracts and made sure all costs made sense, and also advised us where we could save some money. She made sure to contact all vendors the week of the wedding to be sure everyone knew the plan and timeline (which she also crated) She was present for our rehearsal and made sure our large wedding party knew what to do. On the day of the wedding, she was there when I arrived at the venue and made sure I was calm and feeling good. Throughout the day and evening, she made changes to timeline to make sure that we got the most of our time celebrating with our friends and family. I would have been so stressed in the days leading up to our wedding if it hadn't been for Monica and her team. I can't thank them enough!!

Monica and her team were AMAZING! I truly could not have done it without them! My wedding was just as planned and then some. She cares about her clients and the fine details we are not thinking about in the moment. Monica as well as her husband (our DJ) we’re an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and even in my freak out mode the day of our wedding, she kept it calm and cool the entirety of our planning process and event. She’s responsive and professional. She helped us stay withen budget and offered unique ideas to make our special day truly one of a kind! I’m so glad I stumbled upon as you wish planners! I would choose them all over again if I had to ❤️ PS. She even pins the boutonnieres - perfectly might I add. No floppy flowers in our photos ! 🤩

You made my wedding a dream come true, your attention to detail, all the love you put into making everything just perfect, the best without a doubt!

So much YESSSSSS!!! From our initial phone call we KNEW Monica and Courtney HAD to be a part of our special day!! Their attention to detail, work ethic, compassion, and encouragement was top notch! Courtney took the time to answer each question I had and offered amazing suggestions and solutions at every turn, instead of inserting her vision on my day like I read countless other planners tend to do. Other vendors offer “day of” planning that starts the month of the wedding. So grateful we chose As You Wish because they were there with us wayyy before that - helping us to create a vision, not put out a fire! As a full DIY bride I seriously have NO IDEA how I would’ve pulled it off without them! If you’re reading this - congrats on your wedding! I hope the next great decision you make is to select As You Wish like I did!

Cortney and Monica were Amazing!!!!! They do a wonderful job of coming up with personalized packages depending on your budget, and always have your best interests in mind. They helped my wife and I have a completely stress free wedding day, and that is priceless!! We were highly impressed with their ability to connect us with other great vendors and negotiate prices, as well as helping in so many different aspects of wedding planning :)

I can't thank Cortney enough for the outstanding job she did at the wedding and the many days leading up to it. Cortney went above and beyond to ensure Taylor's wedding was wonderful. Cortney's insight and suggestions were more than we could have asked. Thank you Cortney for all the hard work and long hours you put into the Davis/Blyseth wedding!!

Monica and her team were truly so amazing, and we are so glad we were able to work with them for our wedding! She was so organized and on top of everything! Monica was responsive and always willing to come up with a solution to any problem or question that would arise. Her assistant, Cortney, was also super helpful in creating signage and place card ornaments for our wedding as well. Because of Monica and her team, we were able to have a very stress free day as they worked to make sure everything was perfect for us. We also had many compliments from our guests and family members as to just how truly wonderful Monica was! Anyone who is able to hire Monica and her team to help plan and coordinate their wedding is truly so lucky!!

PLEASE hire Monica for your wedding day!! All my concerns, all my fears she handled from day one checking in on me and making sure I had everything the way I wanted! Even over the phone while working with other brides she was always available. she gave me such valuable advice that helped me with my wedding. I was a very anxious bride with a micro wedding and no wedding party so I had virtually no help. she turned out to be all the help I needed. Anything you need she is there for you. If not for her I'm actually certain my wedding day would have been terrible. You need a coordinator especially with the venue I chose, multiple stories and rooms . Monica, along with my awesome Dj helped with the ques and timing and made sure everything went smoothly ,we were late because of someone in my bridal party Monica handled everything and caught up the time! All the while making sure i stayed calm, told me to smile gave me water and food because i forgot even that with my nerves! i don't know if you are on the fence about a wedding coordinator I'm telling you ! Book Monica! I just got married last week and I'm already hoping I can hire Monica for a vowel renewal years from now . Most of all i want to say she is so kind and so understanding she will calm your fears and remove your stress my day was saved because of her hard work behind the scenes and at the venue the day of . Monica thank you for your patience and understanding your amazing !!

You’d be stupid not to go with Monica and her team! She takes care of you like none other! She went over and beyond to take care of my big fat wedding. Everyone fell in love with her and she listens. I had experience with planners who don’t listen and Monica does! My events wouldn’t have been successful without her. She’s very thoughtful, and cares about every detail! Thank you Monica for everything! Your the best 😍

OMG! I cannot say enough kind things about this company. I wish I could rate 10 stars honestly. Firstly, Monica is so nice and understanding about all things wedding. She saved me so much stress and headache with planning and day-of coordinating. I initially only worked with Monica when hiring her husband for music because I was going to use a friend for coordination but quickly realized I needed a professional. Monica was so courteous and understanding throughout the whole process. I was planning our wedding while living out of state and then had to postpone our original date due to COVID restrictions with the military and then after rescheduling our wedding date, we were moving again to another state, so to say I was stressed is an understatement. Monica was so nice to work with my hectic schedule and offered a ton of advice and tips to make my day beautiful while staying within a budget. I will also say that Cortney did such a beautiful job for decor while working within my budget too. I was honestly blown away at how beautiful they made the venue while staying true to my vision. The day-of, Monica and Cortney did a great job of making sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule. They were also fantastic with all the last minute changes we had and going with the flow. Monica did a great job of checking on me through the day and evening without being overbearing. I am so grateful for everything they did throughout the whole planning and day of process. I honestly do not know what I would have done without them. If you are considering a wedding planner or a day-of coordinator, do yourself a favor and use As You Wish!

Where do we even begin. The moment we hired Monica, she was immediately fully vested. She makes herself available night and day to discuss any topic, calm any wedding jitters, and search for anything. She and her team are incredibly flexible and genuinely want for the couple to enjoy every part of their wedding. For us, during the wedding planning process, she was our voice of reason. And, throughout our wedding day, she was the main person who was constantly and very genuinely checking on us every step of the day. She repeatedly ensured we were enjoying our day, kept us hydrated, and constantly asked us if there is anything we needed. It was nice to have someone care about us when most of the wedding is planned to ensure that the guests would enjoy their time. Also, because her services start immediately when you hire her in all of her packages, she built a rapport with us that made us feel safe and in the best hands handing off the largest event that we have ever planned to someone else on the wedding day. We hear a lot of couples wonder if a wedding planner is a necessary part of the budget. Mark and I will say over and over again, yes yes yes! Thank you SO MUCH to Monica and her team for bringing our dream wedding to life!

Monica Cullen, wedding planner and coordinator of As You Wish Wedding & Event Planning, is certainly a well-organized, structured, and labor-saving wedding planner/day of coordinator. Her efficiency, punctuality, and detail oriented personality shines through her work in planning and execution. She always met with me at the vendor appointments, texted me, emailed me, called me, and always communicated with me no matter what time of day or night throughout the whole wedding planning process. She delivered such caring and amazing results from the day she called me to give me more information about my wedding coordinator inquiry to the very next day after the wedding, by checking in on me. And even now, my family bumps into her around town in Oviedo, and she remembers us. Monica contacted all my vendors to make sure they were all on the same page and sent videos/photos to my DJ, who could not meet with me in person as he lived in another city. That task right there was a BIG help due to my busy work schedule! She was very professional about her services and knowledgeable about our venue, Tuscawilla Country Club and that is why we chose her. She was at my venue about an hour or more before to make sure everything was in its place. And, even though it rained all morning on my wedding day, by my ceremony time in the evening, she made sure that the wedding ceremony I had originally wanted outside, stayed outside when the rain clouds went away and a rainbow appeared. Later on, she and her assistant helped me change into my wedding gown, fixed my bustle and made sure I was taken care of. She had all of my wedding dress and jewelry belongings and the top layer of our wedding cake packed and ready to go in the cars by the time for the spectacular sparkler exit. Monica has a wonderful event planning business and she will help make the biggest (and small) events in your life to be special and memorable. Our wedding took place in October 2019. And we had for her Month-of-Service and Day of Coordination services.

Monica is awesome! We had a phone meeting about a month before the wedding to discuss EVERYTHING and then stayed in contact throughout the rest of the process as the final details came together. She used a Google Doc to keep us both up to date and for her to have day of. She made my day run smooth! I highly recommend As You Wish!

I don’t even know where to start. Monica is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I’m as Type A as they come (actually used to be an event planner) and was definitely very involved in the little details of my wedding. Monica exceeded everything we could have ever hoped for. Everything was beautiful and the day went so smoothly, we honestly still feel like it was all a dream. One of the main things I told Monica was that my now husband and I wanted to make sure we got to eat at some point during the night and she did that and then some and took such good care of us! I even got emotional when we said goodbye at the end of the night because I was just so taken aback and thankful for all she did for us. She truly cares about her couples and I feel like she’s going to be a life long friend! She also has quite a bit of decor items her couples can rent (Vivian the table actually made its debut at our wedding lol) and it made our lives so much easier since we live out of state. I seriously don’t know how she does things, she has to work with dozens of couples on any given day and she always gave us nothing but her undivided attention! She’s very responsive to emails and texts and I never had to wait long to hear back about things. We seriously can’t thank her enough! You will LOVE her!

We have known Monica and Patrick for a long time and Patrick has been the DJ at many events we have attended. They are an amazing team! Our daughters wedding was in March and everything went so smoothly! Could not have asked for a better day!

I consider myself to be truly blessed by the wonderful wedding and event industry partners that have turned into lifelong friends. The value of their tremendous partnership and friendship over the past almost four years is priceless. As industry partners, Monica Ann Cullen and Patrick Djpj Cullen, Owners of Atomic Entertainment & As You Wish always provide the BEST experience in the industry, SUPERIOR service in their categories and are wonderful wedding and event professionals to work with as true world class event partners, business owners and active community supporters. They give back and it leaves me inspired as I’ve taken note. What makes Monica so special you ask? She has an endless passion for weddings and going above and beyond to make her client’s wedding day perfect. She has mastered the perfect balance of charm and authority and handles every challenge with the most admirable calmness that can only leave others awed by her natural poise and perfected presence. In addition to their admirable personal qualities, what sets Monica and Patrick apart in the Central Florida wedding and event industry is the way they do business. They rank at the very top of husband and wife owned businesses founded on client-focused service and professional relationships. It has always been a tremendous pleasure to have Monica and Patrick as partners for my events. I am so grateful for your tremendous partnership and friendship! ❤️ Karen Current Venue Manager at The Howey Mansion, Previous Member Events Manager at Lake Nona Golf & Associate Director of Catering at Mission Inn Resort

Look no further for your planner!! If you are on the fence on whether you ‘need one’ trust me you do, and here she is ;). Monica is meant for this job, you can tell it is her absolute passion to make sure you both as a couple, as well as your guests, are taken care of. One (and I could go on about the many things she did for us leading up to, and on, our day) of the things that really stood out to me was all the little details she helped cover. Our wedding was late afternoon outside and it ended up being quite warm that day, where about half our guests were in the sun. Monica had thought to bring beautiful little fans and handed them out to our guests to cool themselves for our ceremony. Many guests mentioned how thankful they were for them, and I was amazed at how quick Monica looked out for our guests as well and worked to make them comfortable. I had actually spent more time worried it would be cold, the idea of it being hot had not crossed my mind lol (and this is Florida, but in January lol). Having both Monica and her husband (he is an awesome DJ!!) work together was an added bonus, and really helped our day run smoothly. We can’t thank Monica enough for all she did to take the stress off us as a couple and make sure our day went off ‘without a hitch’. From the absolute bottoms of our hearts, THANK YOU 💗💖

We hired Atomic Entertainment for our wedding in Tavares and they were amazing. Patrick was involved the entire time, always made sure we were happy with what was going on, and made sure our guests were having fun. All our guests really enjoyed his interaction. Half of our guests were from Brazil and he made sure everyone was entertained (and he even got all our crazy names right). Monica was spectacular. Somehow with all the craziness she was smiling the entire time and we don't know how she did it, but she had every answer to every question anyone asked her. She made sure we were comfortable and that the night went just as planned, and if there was even an ounce of doubt, she made sure to get all the answers from whoever she needed to talk to. We don't know what else to say about them except they were amazing and we thank them for everything.

I cannot imagine my wedding day without Monica and her team. I *highly* recommend As You Wish if you are looking for a wedding planner, or even a day of planner. She helped planning prior to our event, tying up loose ends and helping me along the way with making important decisions. And she was indispensable the day of my wedding, taking care of every detail and making sure my family, husband, and myself were taken care of all night. She made sure everything ran smoothly and I didn’t have a worry in the world knowing she was taking care of everything. THANK YOU MONICA! You made my day so easy and I was really able to enjoy every moment of the wedding. Also, if anyone needs a DJ, her husband Patrick is AMAZING. Fabulous DJ, so much fun for the entire party. We loved our wedding and are so thankful for all you guys did for us xoxo

Monica and her team helped to make my day absolutely perfect. They went out of their way to understand our wishes and ensure we had everything we needed up until the very last second. I've never felt so comfortable with a stranger so quickly and Monica has even checked on us since the wedding. I have an endless amount of gratitude towards As You Wish and cannot recommend them enough. We also utilized Atomic Entertainment for our DJ who is Monica's husband. Having the two of them there as a team helped to make everything run even more smoothly.

Monica was the cherry on top of my wedding. Her expertise in weddings helped keep me level headed as well as make my day unforgettable. Her communication was a breeze and I can’t thank her and her team enough!

I have worked with Monica and her team many times. She has the brides best interest in mind through the whole process Efficient and professional With years of experience she is well respected in the wedding industry I highly recommend !

Wow Monica is absolutely amazing! From our first phone meeting to our sit down a Panera she has been extremely hands on with helping me during the wedding process! She was quick to respond to any questions I had and even let me borrow a few things for my big day! She helped me so much with all the tiny details I would have never thought about and she even helped calm me down the day off! Monica is great and definitely knows what she is doing! I am so grateful for her and her team!

I had the pleasure of working with Monica in February of 2017. She was our month-of wedding coordinator, but she was really so much more than that. On a day that is filled with so many decisions, she’s there to help make them for you so you can focus on what really matters. She partnered with us throughout the entire planning process and went out of her way to attend many pre-planning meetings with the venue. I can’t say enough great things about her. Monica has great time managerment and communication skills. Her industry experience really shines through. She’s wonderful to work with and is very down to earth. Look no further for your planning needs. Monica is wonderful .

Monica is FABULOUS! She gives every bride and groom detailed information sheets to fill out and will review them with you both several times before the big day. She asked questions to things I had not even thought of or considered. I appreciated her willingness to do whatever it took to make sure my husband an I had an amazing wedding day. I can honestly say without her, my wedding would not have gone as silky smooth as it did. I have zero complaints. She even ran out the day of the wedding to purchase a guest book that I had forgotten to buy and bring. Monica is wonderful and worth every penny!

If you are looking for the best wedding coordinator look no further! Monica is kind, efficient, on the ball and oh so helpful....we enjoyed our wedding immensely because things ran so smoothly! If there were any issues, we didn't know about it because she GETS IT DONE! We are so grateful to her and her team for all of the hard work and making my daughter and son in law's day so special!!!

Monica Cullen was phenomenal during my wedding planning process as well as the actual wedding. She was so organized, efficient, punctual, reliable, insightful, and detail-oriented. I never would have thought about or even known half of the details of what to do without her help. The actual day went off without a hitch, she didn’t skip a beat. I was free to enjoy my wedding and did not worry about one thing all night because Monica and her assistants had it all covered. I would recommend her to anyone looking for guidance during planning and coordination of the day of the wedding, she was amazing! Thank you so much Monica!!! Also, her husband PJ was out DJ and he was phenomenal as well. His energy was contagious and he really got the party going, his timing and music choices were perfect and he was a great MC! They are a great team to work with and it was nice to have them both as part of our special day! Thank you so much to you both!!!
