About As You Wish Weddings
As You Wish Weddings
I've been planning weddings since early 2021 and immediately fell in love with meeting couples around the city, hearing stories about them and how they met, and how they want to celebrate with their loved ones! My goal is to continually remind couples, that this is a celebration, and treat it that way through each step of the process. We will be cheersing AND cheering throughout every step.
As You Wish is all about making weddings possible for anyone and everyone. My passion and drive behind creating this is helping queer love shine and be celebrated the way it truly deserves, not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire journey! I also know how overwhelming wedding costs can feel, and I’m here to make sure couples avoid the dreaded sticker shock while keeping the planning process just as fun and exciting as the big day itself. Because this is a celebration! And celebrating shouldn’t just happen at the altar, it should be part of the whole experience. So here’s to stressing less and celebrating more. <3
In three words: Creative, Fun, Positive

Couldn’t have done it without As You Wish!
We were married on 9/27/26 and could not imagine the day without Lizzie being there to help our day go perfectly! Lizzie does it all, she helped set up/tear down, keep our schedule on time, coordinate vendors, keep track of the bridal party and grooms party, and a million other things I can’t even begin to list (she even secured my veil!). My friends and family were just as obsessed with her as we were and everyone was always relaxed by how calm and collected she was at all times. There were a few times during the wedding day or planning process that were stressful, but Lizzie always knew exactly what to do— she is a true professional.

Highly Recommend Lizzie/As You Wish!
We loved having Lizzie as our wedding planner! She had the best energy and organization on our wedding day and throughout the planning process. She gave us so many great recommendations and we booked a lot of the vendors she suggested (who were also fantastic). It was great to have her experience in weddings and she was so thoughtful and professional when working with us and all of our different vendors. When it came to our wedding day, everything felt so seamless and she handled everything with so much care. It was great to have her by our side during the wedding as we got to enjoy being fully present while she handled everything behind the scenes! Our wedding party mentioned that they were so happy with how she kept them on schedule and gave instructions in the most kind but energetic way. We also found it really helpful that as a day of planner, she started working with us several months prior. It made us feel like we got to know her better beforehand without feeling rushed, and she felt more like a friend day-of. She even bustled my dress in just a few quick minutes and made it seem SO easy (compared to the complex video instructions). We truly felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything the full day. How she engages and keeps things fun/light while also being professional and organized are all things we were looking for in a wedding planner and she hit all the marks! We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else!

Lizzie is the best!
We had an amazing experience with Lizzie! We chose Lizzie’s day of coordination package and she started working with us 3 months out from our wedding day. She took over vendor communications and kept us organized with weekly to-do lists and updates, and this made sure we never felt overwhelmed or stressed in the days leading up to the wedding! Best of all, Lizzie is a great human! She was so fun and friendly, and hyped us up every step of the way. Her energy and positivity made such a difference during our planning and on the day. Highly recommend As You Wish for anyone looking for a joyful, organized, and fun planner or coordinator!
