On September 13, 2020, Patty and Jeremy will stand before their loved ones to renew their vows and celebrate a relationship that has spanned more than four decades. For the couple, who first met as teenagers, the road back to the alter has been paved with a host of bittersweet moments. Despite the ever-changing COVID restrictions, we were thrilled tp secure an incredible team of wish granters and cannot wait to grant them the wedding wish of their dreams.

If you’re needing a pick-me-up (because we sure are), here’s another round of #HOPE Campaign award winners!

One thing we’ve appreciated while reading through our #HOPE Campaign submissions has been the incredible creativity of our applicants. Of course, given the nature of the wedding industry, this makes perfect sense! Wedding professionals are born with the innate skill of making lemonade out of lemons. They work well under pressure and often asked to pivot on a dime.

Here’s a look at a few award winners who are thinking outside the box and truly making a difference:

In the midst of these unprecedented times, it’s easy to get discouraged and bogged down in negativity. What we’ve been trying to focus on instead, is the enormous outpouring of love, kindness and generosity that so many people are spreading to those around them. Since we’re in the business of granting wishes, we thought it would be fun to reward some friends in the wedding industry who are truly going the extra mile right now.

We developed the 2020 Corona Virus #HOPE Campaign to grant awards to vendors who are using their time, talents and resources to help those directly affected by this pandemic. Per usual, we were blown away by all of the good folks out there.
