Reminder: Annual Wedding Fayre this Saturday to benefit Wedding Wishing Well Foundation

Last year we announced that The Guild of Professional Wedding Services will be hosting their Annual Wedding Fayre this Sunday (5th of January), at which they will be hosting a Charity Prize Draw to benefit the Wedding Wishing Well Foundation.

The Foundation was established in 2012 to fund weddings for terminally ill people, many of whom are unable to afford a wedding due to the financial burden often imposed by serious illness. Naomi Thomas established the Foundation after walking through these circumstances herself. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, but thanks to the generosity of a local wedding planner who donated her time and found suppliers who donated their services, Naomi was able to get married in 2012. Naomi now uses her background as a wedding planner to help pass on the gift of a wedding to people in the same situation.

This Saturday, attendees at the Annual Wedding Fayre will have the chance to support the Foundation (and be one of 25 winners of some fantastic prizes at the same time!) by entering the Charity Prize Draw. Raffle tickets will be available to purchase on the day from the Wedding Wishing Well Foundation table.

Winners of the prize draw will be eligible for a 5% discount from a long list of Guild members, including suppliers of photography, flowers, wedding cars, videography, cakes, and more! The full list can be found on the Guild's website here: http://theuniqueguildofweddingservices.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/charity-prize-draw-discounts-from-guild.html. Guild members have also agreed to donate 5% of their bookings to the Foundation.

Charity Prize Draw for the Wedding Wishing Well Foundation

The Guild of Professional Wedding Services will be supporting The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation at its next wedding fayre in January. 

From Guild members' personal experiences, they felt the foundation was a very important organisation to support because of their important work: organising and funding weddings for terminally ill people.   

The Guild members, who provide some of the very best wedding related services in our region, discussed ways in which to raise both awareness and funds for The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation and  decided to organise a ‘Charity Prize Draw’ with all funds being donated in its entirety to the foundation.   

With 25 prize draw winners, couples will be receiving discounts from Guild wedding service providers and in addition, the 'same value' will be donated to the foundation by the Guild members to boost funds for terminally ill people wishing to get married.    

The Charity Prize Draw will be held at The Guild of Professional Wedding Services Annual Wedding Fayre on Sunday, 5 January 2014 at Old Down Manor in Tockington, Bristol.

Come along to the wedding fayre and meet all the Guild members and also hear Naomi's story, the founder of The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation.
