Wish Upon A Wedding!

I want to take some time to introduce to you a great non-profit organization - Wish Upon a Wedding! I'm passionate about this organization as it involves my 2 interests - wedding/event planning and helping those in need!



Wish Upon a Wedding was founded in San Francisco, CA, in January of 2010, by a group of wedding and business entrepreneurs. It is America’s FIRST nonprofit wedding wish granting organization, producing weddings and civil union ceremonies at destinations across the United States for individuals facing terminal illness, regardless of sexual orientation. Boasting twenty chapters nationwide, it is headed by some of the industry’s most renowned leaders.

To qualify for Wishes, applicants must be unmarried legal citizens of the United States, over the age of 18, who have been diagnosed with less than three years to live. Simply apply online to request one of three wedding types: URGENT (Up to 10 guests, in hospital or at bedside); BOUTIQUE (up to 25 guests, in home town of applicant); ROMANTIC (Up to 50 guests, at any WUW destination) Wish Granters (any event/wedding professional) needed in all locations. Please apply online today to start helping us make Wedding Wishes come true.
