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.
