The Finishing Touch — Weddings, Events, Design, Paperie

On Tuesday, January 18th, the official launch of the New Jersey/New York Metro area chapter of Wish Upon A Wedding was held at the beautiful Estate at Florentine Gardens in River Vale, NJ. Wish Upon A Wedding is a non-profit organization that provides weddings or vow renewal ceremonies to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation.

Despite the snow and ice, over 300 vendors, donors and guests came out to help launch this amazing cause in New Jersey. Our very own Candice Benson serves as President of the NJ/NY Metro Chapter and was so impressed with the turnout and support. Candice and the board members worked hard to ensure that the launch brought awareness to the cause and would help raise funds for upcoming wishes. With their hard work, the night brought in thousands of dollars for the organization – what a great way to start out!

The venue, catering, decor, flowers, photography, linens and entertainment for the evening were donated, along with amazing items in the swag bags for the guests in attendance. Over 60 vendors donated their services and products for this incredible event. The event was covered by many aspects of the media including television, newspapers, magazines, podcasts and more.
