Upcoming Wedding Events in the Northwest Benefiting Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation

Here are two upcoming October wedding events in the Pacific Northwest, both benefiting the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. We encourage you to check them out!

2008 Port Townsend Wedding Show
October 11 & 12


The Port Townsend Wedding Guild is proud to present the 2008 Port Townsend Wedding Show October 11 and 12. The event will take place primarily at two elegant, historic landmarks - the Manresa Castle and the Silverwater Cafe. In addition, show goers are invited to Open Houses and special offerings at a number of unique venues in Port Townsend, including the beautifully restored Chapel Bay with its panoramic views of the City and Sound, complimentary chowder and baked breads aboard the PS Express, and much more!

Brides will be delighted to know they can find everything they need to create the perfect wedding. Featuring “The Best of Port Townsend”, this year’s show is designed to be a fun festival and tour rather than a traditional, convention-style show. If brides are looking for friendly, personalized services in an enchanting, romantic seaport, their dreams are about to come true.

Along with a variety of exceptional, local wedding services, Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation will be selling gowns to grant wishes for those with terminal breast cancer. Contemporary as well as vintage and antique gowns will be available at a substantial savings. The Making Memories Fundraiser is hosted by the Port Townsend Wedding Guild and will take place throughout the show above the Silverwater Cafe.

October 23, 2008
Arctic Club Hotel

We've decided to throw a really big, swanky-cool party; the kind that gives you an excuse to buy new shoes. We'll have lovely libations and amazing appetizers. We'll have raffles, auctions, and jellybeans. LOTS of jellybeans.

You will truly be able to get gorgeous goods for your wedding by giving back.

Seattle's top wedding professionals have been personally invited to exhibit their services and products with one catch-- they must donate a fantastic item for our silent auction. Together with items donated by Seattle's top businesses, we will raise money for a great cause through silent auctions and raffles all throughout the evening. The items up for grabs are not just limited to pre-wedding prep, day of services, and newlyweds, there are sure to be some great goods for moms, dads, grooms, and friends!

Mark your calendar for October 23rd, 2008. You'll totally find time in your social calendar for this.

We are incredibly excited to announce that our event will be held at the Arctic Club Hotel in downtown Seattle. As one of Seattle's newest venues, the unparalleled beauty of the historic Dome Room is the perfect setting for our debut event. You'll have an opportunity to check out this great venue, as well as sample it's savory menu throughout the night. The Arctic Club is located at 700 3rd Ave. at Cherry St., Seattle, WA 98104.

5-6 pm Industry-Only Cocktail Hour Fellow wedding industry professionals and members of the media are invited to join us early for an industry-only cocktail hour.

Do you have your new party shoes on yet?

The family's first trip to Disneyworld. A long overdue family reunion. A second honeymoon with your husband.

It can take $4000 to grant one wish for a small family of 4, let's grant 12!! Our goal is to raise $50,000 to grant wishes for stage IV breast cancer patients and their families.

Through projects like Brides Against Breast Cancer, The Pink Envelope Project, and Kate Aspen Favors, The Making Memories Foundation creates the ability to grant personal wishes to patients in their last year. Read more about them and why we chose them to receive 100% of our net proceeds HERE.

Please join us to toast to this wonderful cause that celebrates life and love and the fabulous spirit of giving! It’s an evening not to be missed, where the most stylish way to give is to get!
