Spreading Joy Through your Wedding Wishes

At Single to Shaadi, we believe in the power of love and the magic of weddings. That’s why we are proud to partner with Wish Upon a Wedding, a remarkable organization dedicated to granting wedding wishes to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances.

About

Believing In The Power Of Love & Generosity

Origin

In 2009, event planner Liz Guthrie organized a Dream Wedding Giveaway in San Francisco, inspiring the creation of Wish Upon a Wedding. The touching story of Vanessa Muza Teskey, a U.S. Air Force officer battling stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and her fiancé Capt. Mike Hawkings, highlighted the need for granting dream weddings to couples facing life-altering circumstances. Founded in November 2009, Wish Upon a Wedding provides couples with a day of joy and lasting memories amid their challenges.

We engage wedding vendors, sponsors, and volunteers to donate their time, services, or products to help make these weddings a reality. Additionally, we organize annual fundraisers to raise money and support for Wish Upon a Wedding, ensuring that more couples can have their wedding wishes granted.

Mission

Wish Upon a Wedding grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or life-altering health circumstances.
