Claudia Antony has been planning parties, events, and far flung vacations around the world for her friends, family, and colleagues since she was in college. After ten plus years in the corporate world, it was time to take that passion and turn it into a full time profession. Out of these dreams, As You Wish was created!
Running an event planning company is a perfect fit for someone like Claudia, who is creative, organized, and determined to provide the very best for her clients!
Claudia makes each event memorable and provides a total solution for every function, including concept design, site research, invitations, menu planning, décor, live music and entertainment, clean up, and thank yous. You name it, we make it happen - As You Wish!
She is a member of the International Special Events Society (ISES) and the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC). Claudia is also an ordained minister by the Universal Life Church.
Claudia has a degree in business administration from Loyola University Chicago and an MBA from The University of Chicago. She is a member of the International Special Events Society (ISES).
In addition to running As You Wish, Claudia is one of the founding members and current treasurer of Reach Out, a not-for-profit entity that creates events to raise money for other not-for-profit organizations in Chicago that are committed to assisting victims of domestic violence (www.reachoutchicago.org). She is also a founding member of the Downtown Women's Club-Chicago Chapter, a social and professional network for businesswomen on the go (www.downtownwomensclub.com).
“Long before Claudia started As You Wish, she was planning parties and other events for me and my friends. Incredibly, she organizes numerous monthly social events on the side for fun! What would have anyone else stressed out – she does with one hand tied behind her back, a smile on her face, sharing laughter and making new connections between friends!”
