We planned our wedding from out of state and it was so much less stressful to work with a venue that manages many of the details (flatware, catering coordination, table decor, etc.). We opted to use them for floral and they were beautiful! Loved repurposing the aisle decor to tables too. Having a day of coordinator allowed me to enjoy my wedding day rather than work it! The staff is experienced and reliable. They have a process that streamlines planning and work with several vendors that will give you a special price and know the venue/team well enough to have a very smooth experience. The venue is beautiful, and I appreciated having several options to pivot to in the case of inclement weather. No regrets!! Thank you Heather and CCR team!

The staff was kind and very attentive! The venue itself was cute. The main space was huge, and can easily fit a large corporate event/wedding/private event. There is also a large outside area for outdoor ceremonies or parties. Outside of the main building, there is a pond in between the building and the parking lot. There were lots of critters and frogs screaming in my ear during the evening when the sun set.

Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing and talented Lisa is! Due to COVID, I had to move…read moremy wedding from California to Texas with only three months to spare before our wedding date. Needless to say, I was stressed! After only a few minutes of speaking with Lisa, all my worries began to fade. Lisa brought the vision of my wedding to life -- in fact, she made it better than I imagined! She carefully selected the best vendors for me and never stopped working until she knew I had exactly what I wanted. With the amount of care and attention she gave me you'd think I was her only client at the time (spoiler: I wasn't, she had many!) but I never felt that. Every call, email, and need was answered promptly. What should have been a stressful three months of planning ended up an absolute breeze thanks to Lisa. As for day-of wedding coordinators, I could not have hoped for a better team and support system than Lisa and Tiffany. As to be expected with all weddings, problems arise, however, I had zero clue about any of it all thanks to my Stress-Free team! They handled every problem -- sometimes even before they became a problem! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Including the surprise firework show that I had planned for my husband and our guests during our first dance. No one else knew about the fireworks except myself and Lisa. This surprise took expert level coordinating as I wanted the show to begin at a precise moment and time. Lisa coordinated with the DJ, photographer, and pyrotechnic team flawlessly. It was a perfect moment we will never forget! I cannot thank Lisa enough for her hard work and dedication to making my dream wedding possible. If you truly want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, look no further than Lisa and her Stress-Free team! The moment you do you can rest knowing your big day is in the best hands.

My now-husband and I knew absolutely nothing about weddings one year ago. Neither of us had ever…read morebeen in a wedding party and we were both the first of our siblings to get married. Amanda & Elizabeth were amazing at helping us plan the perfect wedding. They answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and provided us with amazing suggestions for vendors. Amanda was easy to get a hold of, whether by email, phone call, or text. After Yes provided us with helpful spreadsheets for staying on budget and on track to getting everything done before the big day. The true measure of how helpful they are is that my husband can not stop raving about our wedding, saying how it was better than he expected and how he felt each vendor was more than worth what we paid them, all of which I attribute to After Yes. The two weeks leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber: no meltdowns, no crying, no stressing out. Without After Yes I doubt any of that would have been true. Even the day of the wedding went off without a hitch and without me feeling like I had to worry about anything going off as planned. I could go on and on and on and on but suffice it to say I think After Yes is an investment you will truly not regret.

We started planning together 30 days before my wedding and even though I had 95% of my vendors selected she was still so worth it! Karen called every vendor to review the contract, made sure they were aware of timelines and made sure they all new NOT to contact me with a problem the day of the wedding. One of the best feelings was someone asking me "When is the cake cutting?" and me being able to say "I have no idea, go ask my wedding planner!" I'm such a planner that I thought it would be hard to release the reigns, but Karen was so knowledgeable with so much experience that I knew I could truly just enjoy the day! Thank Karen!

They came through every time. They were part-time therapists, part-time mediators, part-time boss babes, and somehow still full-time wedding planners. You only get married once and when you do it is all about the team that you have to help you make it happen. I'm telling you right now that you will not and cannot go wrong with RK Weddings & Events. The time leading up to the day will be hectic. The day will be filled with nerves. And you want to do nothing the day after. They are with you the entire way. Hire them now because they saved my life.

Working with Katie and her team at As You Wish was honestly the best decision we made for our…read morewedding. We worked with them for about a year and a half, and they were so patient, open minded, and incredibly detail oriented the entire time. They really listened to what we wanted while also keeping us organized, on track, and making sure everything still felt elevated and classy. Katie and her team were always there to answer all of our questions and truly became our biggest advocates throughout the entire planning process. They even took the time to get to know our parents, which meant so much to us, and helped build trust with them along the way. It made the whole experience feel seamless and supported for everyone involved. They also went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. Katie and her team helped us find venues that weren't even on our original list and somehow just knew what would be the right fit for us. Katie has this amazing ability to light up a room and make you feel confident in every decision you're making together, which is honestly one of the best things you could ask for in a wedding planner. What meant the most to us was how much effort Katie and her team put into understanding all of our wedding rituals. Having an Indian wedding, this was really important to us, and they took the time to learn, respect, and execute everything so thoughtfully. It made us feel so seen and taken care of throughout the entire process. Katie and her team really went above and beyond with every detail that went into our wedding. I remember people asking me if I was nervous, and I would always say no because I fully trusted Katie and her team to pull off the best wedding weekend possible, and that is exactly what they did. They helped us build our dream team of vendors, and everything came together so seamlessly because of them. Anytime someone asks about our wedding weekend, we always say it exceeded our expectations and that is all thanks to Katie and her team. Could not recommend As You Wish more!

The Real-Life DREAMMAKERS…read more There are truly no words that could ever adequately do justice to the magic that is Katie and her team at As You Wish. The name says it all because Katie and her team genuinely have a way of making your every wish come true. In our culture, weddings are something parents begin dreaming about long before their children even enter the world, and Katie and her team understood the weight and meaning of that from the very beginning. When it came time for my own wedding, there was truly no one else we could have imagined trusting with the most important and special moments of our lives. As someone who had never really pictured what my own wedding day would look like, and who struggles with analysis paralysis and decision-making, Katie was an absolute godsend. She was endlessly patient and helped me uncover what I actually wanted, even when I couldn't put it into words. I also struggle to visualize how individual concepts will come together, and Katie and her team went above and beyond to make everything tangible, from beautiful design boards to taking me in person to touch fabrics, see layouts, and experience table designs firsthand. They never once made an idea feel too big, too complicated, or impossible. Instead, their response was always, "Let's make it happen." And they did. Again and again, they brought ideas to life in ways that somehow surpassed even what I had imagined. One of the most special parts of the entire process was watching Katie and my dad work hand in hand to bring this wedding to life. My dad can certainly get carried away with ideas , but even the things that others might have deemed impossible, Katie and her team found a way to make happen. She never made us feel like we had to sacrifice or compromise. When I told her I was having 19 bridesmaids, she didn't even blink, she leaned all the way in and celebrated the love and the magnitude of it all. And Katie and her team didn't just help create our wedding. They helped make our entire wedding journey unforgettable. They brought our engagement party to life and planned the most incredible bachelorette weekend in Park City. When I told Katie I didn't want our ballroom to feel like a hotel ballroom, she basically said, "Say less." And somehow, a hotel ballroom was transformed into an actual wonderland, with carpeting installed and every detail elevated so completely that it felt like we had stepped into an entirely different world. And they did not stop at the transformation of the ballroom. There were fireworks, a drone show, a personalized Pixar animation film, a surprise flash mob, light up Bollywood dancers, laser light shows, two incredible bands, the most fun DJ, endless eats and treats, a perfume bar, a custom donut wall, a personalized putt putt course, a bangle bazaar, a haiku station, a vintage photobooth, custom hotel key cards, color smoke bombs, AND SO MUCH MORE. Every detail was completely unexpected, incredibly thoughtful, and so uniquely us. It was truly unparalleled and one of a kind. Most importantly, Katie and her team beautifully and seamlessly blended our two cultures into an incredible four-day Indian-American wedding celebration. It was everything we could have hoped for and more, and truly something I believe only they could have executed with such thoughtfulness, beauty, and intention. Katie is present every step of the way. She is one of the most responsive, organized, and genuinely incredible people I have ever met, and I am still in awe of how she manages to do it all. When wedding planning inevitably became overwhelming, she was the person who grounded me, brought me back to what mattered, and reminded me that at the heart of everything was my husband and me. She made sure our wedding was not just beautiful, but ours. She intentionally created moments for the two of us, protected the things that mattered most to us, and always made sure we were getting the experience we truly wanted. There is truly no one better than Katie and the As You Wish team.

I'd just gotten engaged two weeks prior, but told myself that I didn't need a wedding planner. Silly me. :) Fast forward to May, when I was just beginning to rip my hair out. My wedding location (both ceremony and reception) was held in a small town, with hardly any wedding-related resources. Thank goodness Wendy was available for our October date because I really don't know what I would've done without her. She's completely in-the-know and paired us with some incredibly amazing vendors that we would've never found on our own. Her personality and spirit is so warm and inviting that you end up wanting her to be your very best friend. She took each of my annoying emails and phone calls in stride, immediately going to work solving all of my problems (which, in the end, weren't really problems). Our wedding day went off without a hitch, as they say. Wendy and her team made sure that the entire day was perfect for us and our families and we are so, so happy that we chose to work with her!

For over a year, Brooke worked closely with me and my husband to plan the best possible wedding for our budget. We live in California but had our wedding in Texas, where I grew up. Brooke was such a great wedding planner. It's hard to believe that it's over. We were very calm the whole week leading up to and during the wedding weekend knowing that she had everything under control. It was a long year filled with crazy meetings and discussions about minutiae. Thanks to her patience and attention to detail, she made sure everything reflected what we wanted. Our family and friends were very impressed with the execution and won't stop talking about how it was the nicest wedding they ever attended, and we can't wait to see the professional photos that I just know will be amazing. Thank you EED!
