As You Wish, weddings & events

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!

ll-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!

te (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!

g 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

e 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.

. 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!!!!

dding 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!!

(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 ! 🤩

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!

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 :)

have asked. Thank you Cortney for all the hard work and long hours you put into the Davis/Blyseth wedding!!

uestion 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!!

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 !!

ten 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 😍

g. 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!

d 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!

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.

and for her to have day of. She made my day run smooth! I highly recommend As You Wish!

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 💗💖

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.

he 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

d 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.
