Wish Upon a Wedding | the Carolinas Chapter


We are extremely humbled and excited to be the Event Planning Co-Chairs of the Carolinas Chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding. This is a new non-profit in the Carolinas, and is the world's first non-profit wedding wish granting organization. (full description below)

The first board meeting was yesterday, and it was inspiring to see the energy from the other board members as we are all so ready to 'give back'. I encourage you to check out the site in detail.

Keep in mind, although most of the board members are involved in the wedding industry, this idea is much more broad. ANYONE can be involved. We needs tons of volunteers and donors, as this takes a team to execute. For example, if a terminal wish is granted, the wedding typically occurs within THREE days. You can imagine how much work goes into those 3 days. Just as the AHA, or Komen, or LLS, we will be reaching out to area businessmen and women, hospitals, bankers, and other companies to gain support. If you would like to contribute in ANY way, please email info@carolinaweddingdesign.com and we will align you with the proper committee chair.

The LAUNCH PARTY for this fabulous organization is THURSDAY, JUNE 24TH. Details to be published soon, but mark those calendars!

Here is a brief intro to the organization.

As the World’s first nonprofit wedding wish granting organization, Wish Upon a Wedding provides weddings at destinations across the United States for individuals facing life-threatening illness. It is a chance for couples to enjoy a very special day, without any thoughts of existing health issues, while surrounded by their closest family and friends. By celebrating the courage & spirit of these couples, we help create lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come. It is our hope that others facing similar situations will find hope, strength, and the promise of eternal love. Officially launched in January of 2010, Wish Upon a Wedding currently has 15 chapters to serve Wish Applicants. We service couples residing in or wishing to get married within 300 miles of any one of our chapter locations.
