Loves Lasting Wish

Wish a Wedding - the Dells Barn.png
WE MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE

Many love stories have started here at The Dells Barn Music & Events, and we want to honor those before us, their great love, and the long history of our barn. With that - we offer our Loves Lasting Wish opportunity.

 

What is LOVES LASTING WISH?

Facing a terminal illness or life-altering health circumstance is physically, emotionally, and financially taxing. While couples might dream of a wedding or a vow renewal ceremony, they often lack the physical and mental resources to bring it to fruition. This is where we come in. 

​​

Owners, Dennis and Heather understand this predicament and would love to hear your story! We welcome any application aligned with our mission to help those facing terminal illness or life-altering health circumstances. 

​

Typically, the requested wedding date must be within six months of your application as well as take place within our open season (unless you're willing to bundle up - our barn is not heated). However, we can also grant urgent wishes should the health circumstances warrant.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

​If your medical illness or life-altering circumstance has impeded your wedding plans, lOVES LASTING WISH at The Dells Barn Music & Events may be able to help. Please review the criteria for having your wedding wish granted below. If your circumstances align with our guidelines and mission, we welcome you to submit your application.
