    "Most beautiful wedding I've eve seen"

    Katie and her team at As You Wish did an amazing job capturing our vision for the perfect wedding. From the invitiations to the final sendoff, everything was executed perfectly. Katie offers the highest quality vendors/suppliers at the best prices. We're still talking about how smoothly and flawlessly the wedding was. Some of the comments from our friends are below...
    " it was beautifully perfect", "Most beautiful wedding ever, we had so much fun", "That's a wedding like I've never seen before, it was amazing"...
    Thank you Katie, it was magical, we couldn't have done it without you!

    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!

    Thank you, Brenda! We are honored to have worked with such a great family. We cannot wait to watch Kennedy and Connor blossom as a couple. Wishing you all the best!

    Amazing at what they do!

    The As You Wish Events team is amazing at what they do! From start to finish they had every detail of the event planned, organized, and perfectly implemented. Their team takes the stress out of planning, gives you the best options of vendors to take your event to the next level, and helps make your vision a reality. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have an unforgettable wedding or event.

    Absolutely Perfect Day

    Rachel and her team are amazing. From A to Z they presented every option and delivered on every aspect. Thanks to COVID, we had multiple challenges, date and venue changes but As You Wish was by our side every step of the way. Vendor, venue and design negotiation was managed to perfection. When the big day finally arrived, it was everything and more than the happy couple had hoped for. It was a beautiful and perfect day in a crazy and imperfect world. We literally couldn't have asked or hoped for anything more.

    Absolute Perfection!

    I chose Rachel with As You Wish because my older sister had used her for her wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! I had full confidence in Rachel and her team to pull off my wedding. My original wedding date was May 2020 and had to be pushed to February 2021 due to Covid-19. With this huge curveball, Rachel and her team made this transition seamless. They handled every detail and were available to me 24/7. Our wedding was beautiful and it was all thanks to them!

    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!

    Allie D. (Bride)

    Rachel and her team at As You Wish Events were absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made the wedding planning process so fun and easy - she remained organized, positive and transparent during the year leading up to the wedding. On my wedding day, everything was seamless! My bridesmaids and family had nothing but great things to say about every detail of the weekend. Rachel is now planning my sister's wedding, as well as my sister-in-law's wedding, and I am certain they will share the same experience. This team is truly the best in the business and I can't thank them enough for making my day so special.

    Rachel Burt Garcia is the ultimate professional - knowledgeable, amazingly organized, and a pleasure to be with. Her vision & attention to detail were the key to helping us create the perfect experience for our daughter’s wedding weekend. Working with Rachel and her team at As You Wish Events allowed me to enjoy the planning process as we went along and to relax on the wedding day. I am forever grateful to each of them for being part of such a meaningful and personal time in our lives. Our second daughter is now engaged & I look forward to another wonderful As You Wish celebration!

    Rachel and her team are amazing!

    Rachel and her team were amazing! Her attention to detail, organization skills, diligence, hard work, and overall talent made our daughters wedding so special. Due to COVID, the event was rescheduled three times and she willingly and patiently planned THREE weddings! The wedding was a large event and Rachel and her team handled is flawlessly! I will always recommend Rachel to anyone planning any type of special event. We were so unbelievably impressed with Rachel!

    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.

    The best around

    Rachel made all of my wedding dreams come true, and my husband and I had the time of our lives thanks to her! From helping plan a surprise father daughter mash up to last minute seating chart changes due to COVID, no task was too big or too small for the As You Wish team. Their knowledge of the industry and flexibility is unmatched! Anyone would be crazy not to use As You Wish for wedding planning or any other party!

    Brandi E. (Mother of the bride)

    Amazing! That is the word I would use to describe Rachel and Victoria! We have three daughters and one got engaged. It scared me because growing up in a very small town I had no idea how to provide my daughter a wedding in the city. We stumbled upon Rachel while watching an episode of The Real Housewives of Dallas. We set up a meeting and instantly knew she was the wedding planner for us! She exceed all my daughters dreams for her fairytale wedding. Rachel was very conscious about the budget and making sure we stayed with in it. She was very creative with ideas and extremely flexible when we needed her to be. When Range threatened the big day she came up with alternative ideas just in case. After the wedding I had several people text me Letting me know it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too. I can’t wait to use Rachel for my other two daughters weddings when the time comes

    The best decision we made while planning our daughter's Dallas wedding was to hire Rachel and Victoria from As You Wish!! My goal was to be a guest at the wedding while also being involved in every detail of the planning. Rachel and Victoria accomplished this with ease! Their industry knowledge, experience, contacts, vendor relationships and follow through made the planning process easy and fun, honestly could not have done it without them. No task was too big or too small .... every detail was seen to!! When our second daughter gets engaged, they will be my first phone call!!! We are looking forward to another As You Wish wedding!

    Rachel and her team are excellent! Our wedding was out of this world and in budget! She is attentive to details and understands the ins and outs of the industry. From getting the best venue, band, hair and makeup, to design and decor - Rachel and her team are fantastic. They really listen to the bride and groom making sure to prioritize things that are uniquely important to each couple.

I truly could not have been any happier on my wedding day. My wedding was absolutely magical and flawless. Thank you Rachel and the As You Wish team for making my dreams a reality! You seriously made me feel like an absolute princess! I love you guys so very much <3

    Rachel and the As You Wish team were the best decision my husband and I have ever made. Rachel is an upbeat, creative and caring person who truly wants you to have the wedding of your dreams. She takes time to get to know you as a couple. She is also extremely organized and responsive - everything went so smoothly and we were never behind schedule. I could not recommend As You Wish enough - their team is fantastic.

    Rachel and Victoria from As You Wish are the DREAM TEAM! My wedding was PERFECT! Every single thing went flawlessly and Rachel is the most creative designer and was able to take all of my ideas and turn them into a fairytale reality!

    In addition to being an amazing designer, planner, and organizer, at times she was able to fill in as a therapist and negotiator as we navigated family drama throughout the way. This was critical to keep everyone happy and kept me from having a nervous breakdown. Her upbeat attitude kept us in good spirits as we slogged through the planning details.

    Rachel and Victoria were also amazing on the day of the wedding. If not for them I am not sure what we would have done. They made sure we were in the right place at the right time and that our timeline ran smoothly for the day. They also took care of so many details I never would have thought of!

    Hiring Rachel was the best thing we did for our wedding!

    Rachel was AMAZING!! I could not have asked for anyone more experienced and knowledgeable. From day one she was by my side assisting with anything and everything. I lived in another city and was planning my wedding during pharmacy school so Rachel took care of everything so my wedding would not have been possible without her help and her team!

    Hiring As You Wish was hands down the best decision my fiance, my parents and I could have made. Rachel Burt and Victoria Wellington are organized, creative and so fun to work with! These ladies went above and beyond to make our wedding day a dream! From my very first phone conversation with Rachel, before she was hired, we hit it off! She was so incredibly bubbly and outgoing and knew the right questions to ask to get my vision. We meshed instantly and I knew she had a great idea of what we wanted to see for our special day. I am a very detail oriented person and Rachel and Victoria were right there with me. They were always so thorough and organized in sending me and my fiance ideas, suggestions, and vendors options for all aspects of the planning process. As You Wish came up with the design and handled the booking off all necessary vendors including band, florals, decor, cake tasting, lighting, photographer, videographer, paper products, etc. As You Wish has amazing connections and relationships within the wedding industry. We always have incredible people and vendors to choose from! I honestly never felt stressed or overwhelmed because the unique layout of their planning process made everything go so smoothly. My wedding day was the most incredible day of my life and I wouldn't have changed a thing, honestly. I have Rachel and her team to thank for making the past year so enjoyable and memorable. We got so many compliments throughout the evening and after the wedding that I think our guests know she is pretty great as well :)

    REVIEW
    Rachel Burt & AS YOU WISH EVENTS Review
    Rachel Burt and her team (in particular Victoria Wellington) at As You Wish Events provided an Over the Top experience for our daughter’s wedding at The Dallas Museum of Art. While doing so, she was able to adhere to all our financial and social considerations.
    From start to finish, Rachel made sure that EVERY detail was attended to. Our bride had a vision for exactly what she wanted. Rachel and her team made it happen. AS YOU WISH EVENTS was able to provide fabulous recommendations for the invitations, table linens, flowers, music, make-up, photographer, celebrant & a white coach for the bride and groom’s departure! They saw to just about every detail.
    While all of the pre- wedding planning was wonderful and greatly appreciated, I cannot stress enough, how fabulous it was to have Rachel and her team present on the wedding day. As the mother-of-the-bride, I would not have had the wedding day experience I had if it weren’t for Rachel and her team at AS YOU WISH EVENTS overseeing all the details. The wedding ceremony and reception were flawless. Almost two months later, friends and family are still talking about how beautiful and fun the wedding was.
    If you are considering an Event Planner and Coordinator for your upcoming event, look no further. I cannot imagine anyone that could do a better, more complete job than Rachel Burt and her team at AS YOU WISH EVENTS.

    Finally, I would be remiss if I did not speak to the kindness, character and integrity of this team. They are beyond reproach and truly fine people. You would be more than fortunate to hire and work with them.
