Nick and Bahar’s Wedding Featured in Parade Magazine and The Knot!

We are so excited to announce that Nick and Bahar, our amazing Wish Upon a Wedding couple, are featured in this weekends issue of Parade Magazine.  The article is also on their website and is the wedding of the week on The Knot. Through the online article you can also see the beautiful videos by Chicago Cinematic Weddings, they are really worth watching!

It was such a pleasure working with everyone at Parade and the knot. We thank them for all of the exposure for Wish Upon a Wedding. Being a wish grantor has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I look forward to doing it again.

In the next week or so I plan to write my own post about this exceptional wedding featuring images from the talented Amanda Hein.  I will take that opportunity to mention all of the amazing vendors who donated their time and talents and give you a little insight into the amazing Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt.

Wish Upon a Wedding is the world’s first nonprofit wish granting organization providing weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.

Greatest Expectations in Print!

We love to see our name in print!!

A special thanks to CS Brides Magazine for including us in their December 2009 issue with a two-page spread featuring our fabulous clients Rachel and David. This wedding was extra special to us and we’re pleased CS felt the same way!

Thanks to GetMarried Magazine (a sister to getmarried.com and the GetMarried TV show on WeTv) for featuring us in their “Real Weddings” section with Christina and Cary’s beautiful wedding. (Just a little note here, my name was spelled wrong and they left out the company name … And there was a little misquote, I assure you my grammar is much, much better than the last quote in the article … But we still think it’s a great magazine, love free press and look forward to being featured in future issues).

It was also a thrill to be featured in three articles in the Spring/Summer issue of The Knot Chicago Magazine!  We loved working with Ashley and Michael on their Spring 2009 wedding and thank the people at The Knot for including us in their “expert tips” section! Lastly, it is a honor to have received be a 2010 pick for The Knot Best of Weddings which is also featured in the magazine.

We even got a little old fashion newspaper love in the Chicago Tribune!! They published a fun article on creative ways to propose and mentioned us as a go-to planner to help put together the perfect proposal!
