Oh gosh, I don't know what I would have done without Julie throughout the wedding planning process! What an absolutely knowledgeable, organized, hardworking, sweetheart of a lady. (This also goes for the staff that came along with her! They were awesome!!) I can't tell you how many phone calls and e-mails she sent for me, making sure every detail was taken care of. She has such a calm demeanor that kept me from stressing and losing my mind on more than one occasion. As if taking care of all the details in the months leading up to the wedding weren't enough, she went above and beyond on the day of the wedding! She made sure everything was set up correctly and in it's place. She made sure everything was timed just perfectly and stuck to our timeline to make sure all of our events went smoothly. I was a nervous wreck when I first arrived at our venue and concerned about every little thing...until Julie got there. I can honestly say, our wedding day was pretty perfect, and I know it wouldn't have turned out the same without Julie and the rest of As You Wish. What an absolutely incredible group of ladies that made my visions come to life and made our wedding day so special.

Brandi and her team are a godsend. From the minute I met Brandi, I knew she was my people. She's organized, funny, and sweet as pie.

To highlight one of the most important impacts she had on our day: We had a friend perform our ceremony. It was so true to us and it was exactly how we envisioned it. That said-- he had never performed a wedding ceremony before. Having Brandi at our rehearsal was INVALUABLE. She asked questions we hadn't thought of (i.e.; "what's your wording for who is giving the bride away?" Duh! But I swear we hadn't thought about that.) Her guidance at the rehearsal helped me sleep easier that night.

I received multiple compliments about the wedding, and one specifically that I can only credit to Brandi and her team. "This was the best run wedding I have ever attended." Brandi was so helpful in the pre-planning. By the time the wedding day rolled around, I didn't think about timeline once. She allowed me to focus on my guests and my groom instead of the logistics of the day, and I am forever indebted to her for that.

Hire this team. You won't regret it.

Brandi and her team helped to make my daughter's wedding day the BEST! From guidance in the planning to full on Day Of Brandi couldn't have been more responsive or helpful. We didn't have a care in the world on Abi and John's Day and that would not have happened without the team executing the DREAM. Thank you As You Wish for allowing this MOB to enjoy the day of her Daughter's wedding and handling the details that could have become overwhelming.

The best decision I made throughout the entire planning process was hiring As You Wish Wedding and Events. Brandi is absolutely amazing. Working full-time the thought of planning a wedding was incredibly daunting, but Brandi made the entire process fun and stress-free. She is professional, responsive, punctual, and incredibly easy to get along with. She got to know me, listened to me and picked the perfect vendors for our wedding. She always scheduled meetings at a time that was convenient and worked with my schedule. Brandi had every detail handled, including ones that would have never crossed my mind. The As You Wish team went above and beyond; my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! We are so grateful for Brandi and her team, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

My wife and I were looking for day of planning and coordination so our families could truly focus on the ceremony and having a great time. We have a few friends in the industry and they all agreed As You Wish was our only option. Thank God they pointed us in their direction. We hit the jackpot when we met Brandi. She was "on call" from the day we met and helped us through each hiccup. She acted as the communicator between all vendors and our special day came and went with every detail I imagined and without any issues. We were able to focus on each other and enjoy our families on the best day of our lives. Thank you to Brandi and her team for making our day exactly what we dreamed of. They truly have hearts of gold.

My daughter and I were impressed with Julie and Brandi from our first point of contact and even more so when we interviewed them at their lovely office. We found them by reading reviews and we are so happy we did. Not only do they have the experience, creativity and expertise we were seeking but they are just so very nice. When our band, whom we found before we met with As You Wish shared, "You are so lucky to have these women..We have worked weddings with them and they know how to handle anything that could come up during a reception. We have seen wedding coordinators stress out the bride and MOB by going to them with issues instead of handling it themselves." I cannot imagine any planner/coordinator better than As You Wish!

Julie went above and beyond for a "Day of" Planner. I emailed, called and met with her many times throughout the year of planning, and she was always very attentive and responsive. It it rare to find someone in the wedding planning business that treats your wedding with so much attention even months out. The day of, me, my groom and our families were able to just relax and have fun. Julie and her amazing team had everything completely under control! I cannot thank Julie enough for being such a calm and positive person throughout a sometimes hectic and stressful process. Thank you so much As You Wish for giving us such a perfect day!

I was planning a wedding long distance which made everything more difficult. On top of the distance my venue was all vendor based. I could not have pulled off the wedding of my dreams without Julie and her team. Julie made time for me every time i was in town and made me feel like a priority. Every time I emailed her I got a response within 24 hours. She found everything for me! This was all icing on the cake for me. The most important reason I wanted Julie for my wedding day was to make sure my friends and family had nothing to worry of the day of the wedding. Brides, do yourself a favor. Don't have your friends and family do set up and tear down. This day is supposed to be fun not stressful. I promise you cannot go wrong with Julie. As an OCD crazy planner myself Julie met all of my needs and then some! Make her apart of your budget. Your friends and family would rather have fun at a carefree wedding (that Julie coordinates) then care about some cutie-sie thing you wasted your money on. :)

Julie and team made our wedding day the most wonderful day of our lives. Finding a wedding planner was one of the first steps I took in planning, but since I was living on the west coast I could only reach out over the phone and email. It took 10 minutes of talking to Julie to know we were the perfect match! Julie is a seasoned event planner and you can tell, but her ideas are fresh and unique and as I discovered nearly endless. From afar, Julie helped match me with potential vendors, she suggested where to splurge, save and where to recognize quality mattered more than savings. Six months out from our wedding we discovered we needed a new venue, it was a tricky time in planning, but Julie saved the day tenfold. The location she found us made our whole wedding day! After moving the venue I felt much of the design needed to be changed as well, Julie held skype meetings with me and answered every minor detail I asked her in my 100 emails. As we got closer to our wedding day, there were meetings and forms and tons of information passed between the As You Wish team and myself. By the week of our wedding everything was spelled out, and I did not have a care in the world; I was able to hand over everything labeled and just enjoy getting married. Julie and team did our entire set up and break down, while coordinating the entire day. Julie kept us on schedule, ensured we could eat and drink some and most importantly allowed us to enjoy our big day. Julie and are team are invaluable, wedding planning is a journey and there is no one better to guide you!

We hired Julie off of a friend's recommendation and there couldn't have been a better choice. Julie was organized, prepared, and professional. She took the wedding planning seriously. Building up to the wedding she was helpful in so many ways but the most incredible help was with my wedding gown. I don't have any family locally so Julie came to my final dress fitting AND she stored by gown for the month before the wedding so that I didn't have to keep it in my small apartment. That is just one way she went above and beyond.

I am a worrier and my wedding was one of the most care-free days I can remember. She managed nine vendors, along with the wedding party, and family members. It was no small task! To this day, my friends and family say that it's the smoothest, best-coordinated wedding they've been to.

I am so grateful for Julie and her As You Wish team. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Julie Morgan and As You Wish Events staff made my daughters wedding wonderful. They handled all the event coordination and made sure my daughter nor myself had any stress or worries. They worked well with all our vendors made sure the wedding ceremony and reception went just as we wanted. Julie and her staff were always available during the planning process to answer any of our questions and help us on any of the planning. They met with us and our other vendors to insure that everything was perfect. They are just Wonderful!

As You Wish Weddings and Events was everything I could have hoped for in a wedding planner. Julie and the team were so helpful on and before my wedding day. They kept my husband and I at ease as we had so much on our mind. The number one vendor that I recommend booking for a wedding or event is a planner. They should be top priority because they make the day run more smoothly so that you and your guests can relax and enjoy themselves. Julie and As You Wish were responsive, organized, creative, and such a pleasure to work with. My family and guests raved about the wonderful job the team did, and it was clear that As You Wish made a great impression. Their hard work was far from unnoticed.

I don't even know where to start on writing this review. I phoned Julie six months into my wedding planning, when I finally realized that I couldn't do this myself. Right off the bat she was excited and enthusiastic about my vision and making my big day all it could be. Julie was involved, responsive and highly motivating to this bride that got a bit burnt out. I couldn't have made it with out her to get me organized, cheer me up and remind me that it was all going to be perfect...and it was! Thank you to Julie and her crew for all you do :)

Julie is such an awesome person to work with. She is so sweet and easy to talk to. She was supportive but also honest. I used her for day of coordinating and I couldn't have imagine trying to accomplish what she did on our wedding day! She made the day completely stress free from beginning to end. I hired Julie over a year in advance and she was available through my planning process to meet, chat on the phone, and email.

Julie is an amazing wedding coordinator from the day that we hired her. She is extrememly organized, punctual, and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She works very hard to help you plan the wedding YOU want. I highly reccommend using her services. She did an excellent job handling all communication between our vendors (even suggesting great ones to use) and helped make my wedding day stress free! If I were to plan my wedding all over, I would absolutely hire her again. Not only did we appreciate her hard work but she is also enjoyable to interact with and every vendor we worked with also told us how great they thought she was. She was always there when I needed anything and was quick to respond to any email I sent her. She was so helpful with every decision especially since my groom was deployed overseas. Thanks Julie for all that you did to make my wedding day better than I ever imagined!

I am so thankful I used As You Wish Weddings to help put on my reception. Julie was great to work with - even when I had a lot of decorations and details she caught my vision and carried it out flawlessly. Also, at the actual reception she and her team were attentive to anything I needed, including giving me medicine because I wasn't feeling well. I would recommend Julie and her team to anyone getting married who needs a little help. She is talented, creative and organized - exactly what a wedding planner should be. I am still getting compliments on how beautiful my reception was and that is in large part to As You Wish for putting it together.

Thanks to As You Wish team (Julie & assistant), our New Years Eve wedding went smoothly, looked amazing and met with rave reviews! I was actually able to relax and enjoy my own wedding, which was exactly what I wanted since I'm used to running around at weddings as the photographer. Leading up to the big event, Julie helped me coordinate and communicate with vendors, listened to both our ideas and concerns and on the actual day made sure everything went according to plan and even looked like she was having fun doing it! She was always ready fun concepts (clocks to help countdown), seasoned advice and willing to take on tasks (she wrapped all our napkins with the menus I had designed). I feel so fortunate to have had Julie as a part of our wedding.

My wedding was absolutely amazing thanks to As you wish weddings and events. It was evident the first time I met Julie, I was sold on her attention to detail; she is a true professional and expert in all she does. I hired her on the spot. Julie will take your ideas and enhance every detail of your wedding in ways you couldn't imagine. On our big day, I did not have to lift a finger, Julie and her staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was PERFECT and it was. It's been three months since we've been married and all of our families and friends are still mentioning how great our wedding day had been, thanks to Julie and her staff.
I am a person who looks for quality in every service I receive, and As you Wish Weddings and Events far exceeded my expectations. If I ever have another major event to plan, I will be contacting this company.
Absolutely phenomenal. Thanks so much Julie and staff, on behalf our family and friends thank you for making our special day nothing less than perfect.

As You Wish Events made planning so much easier! Julie is phenomenal to work with, she listens, is understanding and responsive to what you envision for your wedding. I had planned from overseas so the fact that I was able to keep in contact with her eased my mind. She was helpful every step of the way and on my wedding day I couldn't have been more calm. She answered people's questions and the way she communicated with the vendors made life easy. Not only was she professional and the service was great, but she really worked with me on things and always made herself available to any concerns I had.

As You Wish Events is definitely a vendor that I would recommend the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

I had a destination wedding...so Julie was THERE and helped me NOT stress being on the opposite coast. Julie is EXTREMELY detail oriented & thorough. Julie is professional and competent in every facet of her job. She was there for me every DAY and during every detail of the planning process with priceless ideas I wouldve forgotten. She is a very calm person (which is SO important during SUCH a stressful time!)...and has the ability to make things happen no one wouldve imagined. I wouldve been MISERABLE & LOST without her! She was PRICELESS to me and my entire wedding went PERFECTLY with everyone raving about it being the most beautiful and BEST they had EVER been TO!! ALL which would NOT have happened without HER...not even CLOSE!!! After having been through the entire process...I would say a wedding planner is THEE most important expense. JULIE MORGAN is truly INVALUABLE!!! There is NO ONE you could HIRE that would EVER come close to ALL she does, and the peace she brings!!!

Julie and the As You Wish team were absolutely wonderful in helping me plan our wedding, so much that I want to do it all over again! Julie completely impressed my husband and I with her attention to detail, event planning and professionalism, and she treated me as if I was the only bride she was working with. I truly felt she was invested and took the time to make our wedding unique and special for us.

Because of Julie, I was able to completely relax and enjoy every moment of the day. Most brides say how their wedding day flew by and the end of the day came too quickly, but Julie allowed me to soak in every detail and moment. Not one detail was overlooked and Julie thought of absolutely everything. I would definitely recommend Julie and As You Wish to anyone looking to make their day special and want to enjoy every wonderful minute. I cannot say enough good things about Julie and her team!

Weddings are hard to put together, harder yet when everybody lives hours away. Who do you chose to cater, do flowers? You need help, because they all look good on paper. Julie knows the players and what the potential hiccups are. The reception was beautiful, each detail attend by the group of helpers Julie employed. The staff were hidden in the crowd, doing their work without notice, without fanfare. As the mother of the bride, I knew the bride had a tight schedule with work, and very little down time to plan this event in 8 months. Julie took the bride and grooms ideas and put them on paper, enabling them to view as much as possible beforehand. Having the field narrowed for ALL our choices saved time and frustration.

Julie, of As You Wish Weddings and Events, provided excellent service. She was very professional and attended to every detail for my daughter's wedding. Julie advised us on every aspect of the wedding ceremony. She was also helpful with the wedding planning and saved us money with her great recommendations. We could not have had the outstanding wedding that took place without Julie's expert planning and advice. I highly recommend Julie for wedding planning and other events. She is just top-notch! The absolute best!

From the very first meeting, it was clear that Julie was on top of her game. As the mother of the bride, I was responsible for a lot of the wedding decisions and planning because my daughter lives in Texas. Julie was willing to work with a long-distance bride and make sure the bride felt included in decisions. She did a great job of keeping the bride up-to-date on what was going on as planning got more and more detailed. Julie asked a lot of questions to make sure she had a clear understanding of what we were looking for and then she worked to make all those ideas into one cohesive theme. I especially appreciated her vendor recommendations and that she usually gave me at least three choices so that I could really find the ones who best fit our personalities. Some of the vendors I ended up choosing were well known in our area and I might have found them on my own but there were several that I would never have found and they turned out to be absolutely top notch people--real hidden gems that I hope soon get all the accolades they deserve!

I really had no idea about all the things that a wedding coordinator will do! Julie made the planning so easy. It was so great to be able to send her copies of all my vendor contracts and have another pair of eyes to review all the details and catch any discrepancies that I might have missed. Her attention to detail prevented many errors, including the planned delivery of the groom's cake to the rehearsal dinner (instead of the reception, which is where it was really supposed to be!). It was so helpful to have her at the vendor meetings and multiple walk throughs at the venue. Julie really worked hard to make sure everyone was on the same page and that on the event day things would run as smoothly as possible. I feel like we really benefitted from Julie's prior relationships with a lot of the vendors. She knew exactly what to expect from them and that made planning the day go more smoothly. I also appreciated that she knew the venue so well and knew exactly what they would and wouldn't allow.

It was especially great to have Julie there for Tara's bridal portrait appointment! She really styled that whole event and it would not have been the same without her! Her ideas for accessories and jewelry were fabulous and really allowed Tara to have several different "looks" for her pictures. Her suggestion for having a makeup artist/hair stylist onsite really paid off. Without Julie, it would have been a completely different experience.

Julie was key in providing ideas for so many different aspects of the wedding! Both the bride and I follow her blog and love that she is on top of all of the new wedding trends. In particular, her blog was directly responsible for our selection of bridesmaid dresses and the amazing brooch bouquet. Neither of us had ever seen or heard of brooch bouquets but once we saw a picture of one on the blog it was love at first sight and then it really became one of the themes of the whole wedding. We were able to include brooches from my late sister's jewelry collection on the beautiful wedding cake and the florists added some jewelry bling to the arrangements, all at Julie's suggestion. Her attention to detail became apparent as soon as the guests walked into the ceremony site and all the elements came together to present the themes of the wedding--romance and vintage elegance. Beautiful, elegant floral arrangements, delicately scented candles, classical music from the string quartet, velvety smooth rose petals for tossing--Julie really covered all the sensory bases and the night became a real experience for everyone.

The biggest benefit for me of having a wedding coordinator was the day-of service. I literally did not have to do anything on the day of the wedding except relax and get myself ready. Julie's meticulous planning meant that everything was in place and I know she was onsite to make sure everything went exactly as planned. I loved that Julie had the evening scheduled so well and that she really kept everything on track. So many weddings can start to drag as the bride and groom get distracted and the planned events (first dance, cake cutting, toasts) end up happening as almost an afterthought. Julie really kept everyone on track and the evening was a great success. The bride and groom were able to do all the formal, expected events and there was plenty of time built in for fun and socializing. I know Julie and her assistants were there for the whole wedding, but I hardly ever saw the as they all unobtrusively worked behind the scenes to make sure things were on track. If there were any problems, I don't know about them!

I am amazed that nothing was left behind at the venue site at the end of the evening (and we had a lot of stuff). This was just one more thing that Julie took care of seamlessly. When I got into my car at the end of the night, everything was already loaded in there--wedding gifts, cake-cutting implements, ring bearer pillow, jewelry from the wedding cake, etc... All the things that would have been easy to lose were carefully packed away and ready for me to take home.

Finally, what a great suggestion to do something special in the bridal suite. Tara and Jimmy were so surprised to go in at the end of the night to find champagne waiting for them and a breakfast tray for the next day! What a lovely way to end the day. I would never have thought to do that or had the time to slip in during the reception to set everything up, but Julie and her staff pulled it off.

I guess I just can't say enough good things about Julie! I would heartily recommend you for anyone who wants to make an event a truly special and unique experience. Julie really has the whole package--the technical skills of planning and executing timelines and schedules, the industry connections to find the best vendors and, most important, the creative genius to really bring her client's dreams to life! Thank you, thank you for all of your hard work and for making this so much fun for me. I will miss working with you (but maybe in another ten years when Caroline is ready to get married!).

Julie and her staff made my wedding day and the month leading up to it a dream come true. From the first time we met, I knew we would hit it off and work very well together. She gave me everything thing I needed to plan every single detail. She gives you guidance when you ask and when she feels you may need it but never would ever push anything on me, just suggest ( all of her suggestions I used :) ).
My parents did not understand the need of a wedding planner and they were not too excited about us hiring her, but as I danced my first dance with my father, he looked at me and said, " Beth, we could not have done this without her".
She made sure every single detail was perfect. She kept my family and me calm during the stress of the day of and made it so we could enjoy every moment of this very special day!
Her staff were very professional and they all went above and beyond just to make sure every detail was attended to. She also was veryhelpful after the wedding getting all the rentals and gifts to the correct locations.

She was ALWAYS very quick to respond to e-mails and phone calls.

The Value outweighed the cost a million times over!!!

I had the most perfect day of my life, and I will always be greatful to Julie and her staff for being there for us every step of the way.

I love you Ladies, Thank you!!!

Julie Morgan and her team with As you Wish helped us to get everything we wanted and more for our wedding day. She was with me through the planning stages and took care of everything on our wedding day. Both my husband and I have no family in this area so I depended on Julie to come to some appointments (even a dress fitting) with me and she was so understanding. She did a great job helping me to find the perfect vendors who would understand my vision and execute it for our day. She even had a few surprises for us!! We are so appreciative of all she did!

I have so many good things to say, I just don't even know where to begin. From our first meeting I knew Julie was exactly who we were looking for! She is absolutely the sweetest person and such a good listener. She always has creative and innovative ideas, as well as great suggestions for sticky situations. She was never more than a phone call or e-mail away, no matter what was going on. I LOVE that she met with our vendors and made countless phone calls that we weren't able to do ourselves. I was a little stressed the day before the wedding...but the day of went so smoothly knowing Julie and her awesome crew were taking care of business! I just can't say enough how much we appreciate all she did for us. I've handed out her cards and recommended her servicves to anyone I've heard of planning a wedding. She is very true to her company name, "As You Wish," because she plays such a huge role in making your day everything you wish it to be.

Julie and her team were absolutely wonderful! They were extremely professional and very well organized. Whenever I needed them they were always there. They decorated the banquet room for the reception perfectly! Julie coordinated the the activities for the day and everything went very smoothly. Throughout the planning process, Julie was a so flexible and always willing to meet with me and vendors whenever I needed. Her services are superb and I am a VERY meticulous person so that means a lot coming from me. I will be recommending As You Wish Event Planning to all future brides. Kudos to As You Wish!

Julie is so good at what she does. She is super organized and remembers every little detail. She develops an extensive time-line to ensure the day runs perfectly. I really don't know how we could have done it without her. By having Julie coordinate our wedding, we didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day....we could truly just enjoy the day. Thanks Julie!!!

Julie Morgan is amazing! She went above and beyond in every way possible for my wedding. Even when things got a bit hectic on my wedding day thanks to some vendor mishaps, she insulated me from all the stress and handled the problems with grace and ease. She navigated her way around a new venue like as if she'd done 1000 weddings their before. Even my friends and family commented on how wonderful she was. Everyone needs a wedding planner like Julie for their wedding.

Julie Morgan and her staff were unbelievable. Julie was extremely responsive to all of our needs. She made herself available by phone, e-mail, and in person. She was willing to meet at any convenient location to discuss wedding plans. She had an excellent working relationship with both the ceremony site as well as the reception site and florist. I had a lot of people trying to talk me out of using a wedding planner, because of the cost, but Julie was worth every cent. We actually interviewed five other wedding planners and with her we got the most bang for our bucks. She also had some wonderful creative ideas to help with centerpieces.

Go with Jule and her staff. You will not be disappointed.

Julie was a tremendous help! Always had the best ideas, very organized, very thorough in everything she did, and made sure my wedding day was everything and more i could possibly ever want! I really enjoyed working with her, she was very easy to work with and had more patience then you could ever believe! Working with a bride in my eyes wouldn't always be the easiest task, all the stress, being unsure of what you really want, and changing your mind over and over again can be stressful for anyone, but Julie really knew how to make everything seem like a breeze and always had everything together. She was always 10 steps ahead of me!! I have many friends who have just got engaged and i have already recommended Julie to them! I will in the future as well! I don't think i could have done all the planning without her and im so glad i had her by my side planning my wedding day!! Thanks Julie!

I was initially hesitant about hiring a wedding day-of-coordinator but after booking Julie and having the wedding of our dreams I have absolutely NO regrets!!!! She did more than we could have imagined...she was very organized and thought of everything, right down to the little details. Not to mention that she's extremely down to earth and easy to work with. Our wedding day went so smoothly and we know that a large part of that is because of Julie and her staff!

Julie and her assistant at As You Wish were a dream come true. They held my hand through the planning, were always available to answer questions, and did a fabulous job day of. I understand that there were several minicrises that she averted or dealt with without my knowledge, and that made me much more comfortable on our wedding day. There was a lot of craziness the day of our wedding--weather issues, etc., but Julie dealt with everything beautifully. She and her assistant went above and beyond, and they also dealt with the craziness of our families trying to "help" with things that they were supposed to take care of. I was very pleased with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone for wedding planning. Her assistant was also very professional and helpful, and they were both excellent at their jobs. I have no regrets, and only great things to say about Julie and As You Wish.

I beleive that it was a challenge for my vender to work with me to the best of her ability, because of a pregnancy and the delivery of her twins. Other than this very important event, I think that she was an easy person to relate to and she was very professional and cost effective. I would definitely hire and reccommend her to others.
