Exceptional

I’m an Interior Designer in Dallas, and I was extremely selective when interviewing Wedding Planners to entrust with our only daughter’s once-in-a-lifetime event!

Katie caught our vision immediately and brought fresh, relevant ideas to help perfect that vision. Her attention to detail early in the planning phase up to wedding day execution was beyond impressive.

From the moment our daughter walked down the aisle until she climbed into the exit vehicle, Katie and her team ensured that everything was flawless. I’m forever grateful because we got to enjoy the day like honored guests at our only child’s wedding.

Katie is a beautiful young entrepreneur, and we sincerely loved every minute we spent with her! We love Katie like family now and would highly recommend As You Wish Events to anyone looking to have an unforgettable wedding. Thank you Katie!

Mother of the Groom Mita C: AYW was exceptional

It was a pleasure working with Rachel Burt Garcia and her team at As You Wish (AYW)for my son’s wedding and reception on 10/9/2021 in Dallas. We had worked together during my daughter’s wedding reception five years back and we loved her and her team, so we are repeat customers for AYW. They were exceptional, in the flawless execution of the day of the wedding, the handling of vendors, décor, and planning details. They brought out the vision of the bride and groom.
I highly recommend Rachel and her team at AYW!

Dream wedding come to life!

I don’t even know where to begin… I interviewed with five wedding planners, and Rachel and her team were the first to listen to what I had envisioned, instead of trying to tell me what to do. I knew right away we’d get along. I wanted to hit the ground running, and while I may not have been her only client at the time, she sure did treat me like I was, as her response time and attentiveness was impeccable. We worked together for many years, due to two postponed weddings - thanks COVID! I thought my dream wedding was over and called her crying multiple times, but she was super supportive to my feelings, and took the necessary next steps to help us move forward realistically. She really talked me off the ledge multiple times, lol! Her demeanor was calm and collected at all times through this realm neither of us had ever navigated before. After meeting in 2019, we finally were able to have our dream wedding in May 2021, and It truly was the best night of my life. I could NEVER have done it without Rachel and her team.

Literally the best!

If I could give Rachel and her team 100 stars, I would! I genuinely do not know what my Mom and I would have done without them. It was truly amazing how much better (and less stressed) I felt after just one phone call with Rachel. From day one, Rachel made everything so easy, straightforward, and fun for all of us! Her organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail are just a few of the things that make her the best wedding planner I could have asked for. Rachel and her team have invaluable experience, knowledge, and relationships that can't be found anywhere else. Thanks to my parents, Rachel, and the rest of the As You Wish Events team, my husband and I had the most beautiful, fun, and truly perfect wedding. I speak for both of us when I say we are forever grateful for Rachel and her team and all their hard work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We definitely recommend As You Wish for any event planning. Shari Johns and her staff are amazing...very professional, creative and wonderful to work with.

We have had a chance to work with Shari Johns for several years now. The weddings that we have had a chance to do with her are always planned above and beyond. Most people do not realize the level of detail that goes into the planning but also the design of an entire wedding. Shari has a natural eye for these details and brings it to the table with each of her clients. Every wedding that we have done with her and her team has gone smooth and proven that no bride should be without a planner. Watching her receive hugs from the clients at the end of the party and listening to them gush is proof alone that she does a great job. We are proud to work with her!
