The Fabulous Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis Launch!
The Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis Chapter officially kicked off on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 with a Caribbean Chic-themed launch party at Lumen Private Event Space in downtown St. Louis! A room full of about 160 supporters, wish granters, volunteers, committee members and board members helped kick the chapter off right and we couldn’t be more appreciative!
Everyone in the St. Louis wedding industry has already shown a tremendous amount of support for Wish Upon a Wedding, and the launch party was another testament to how supportive we can be! We had over 30 local vendors donate goods, services, time and space to the launch party, which means we didn’t go without a thing!
Our chapter president, Lacy Branch, shared a heartwarming speech explaining why Wish Upon a Wedding is so important to our community and the couple’s we seek to help! Lacy topped off her presentation with an inspirational video of the first Chicago chapter wish granted for Beth and Nick, video provided by I Do Films!
And of course our wonderful board members were all on hand to help spread the word! We’re all looking forward to getting the ball rolling for our first wish, which we hope comes very soon! We’re also continuing to seek out Wish Granters for our entire 300 mile radius!
Special thanks go out to all of our launch party sponsors who helped make the night possible with their giving spirits and who are all truly amazing! We couldn’t have done it without you!
