To fulfill the wedding dreams of couples who have faced significant hardships such as illness, injuries, and other challenges that have made it difficult to plan or afford their desired wedding or vow renewal.
Our Mission
The Chilleen Dream Foundation aims to fulfill the wedding dreams of couples who have faced significant hardships such as illness, injuries, and other challenges that have made it difficult to plan or afford their desired wedding or vow renewal. Our foundation offers the opportunity for these couples to celebrate their love and commitment without the added burden of financial strain, allowing them to focus on creating cherished memories with their loved ones. We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and happiness that comes with a wedding, regardless of their circumstances.
Through our grant program, we aim to alleviate the financial burden that weddings can bring, so that our recipients can focus on what truly matters – celebrating their love and commitment to one another. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community that fosters love, acceptance, and understanding, and to ensure that our recipients feel valued and respected throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Our goal is to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime, and to provide a source of hope and inspiration to those facing adversity. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to experience the beauty and magic of a wedding day, and we are committed to making that dream a reality for as many people as possible.

Plan
Our goal is to host at least one or two weddings per year in each category, but we aspire to expand this number in the future with the aid of additional partnerships and sponsors, based on the level of need.
Our Plan
The Venue at Chilleens has formed collaborations with top-notch industry professionals to provide extraordinary weddings to these deserving couples. Dreamers may be nominated in any of the four categories, which are Illness, Army Veteran or Wounded, Disabilities, and America’s Heroes. Our goal is to host at least one or two weddings per year in each category, but we aspire to expand this number in the future with the aid of additional partnerships and sponsors, based on the level of need.
We are always looking for vendors to join our team to help create these dream weddings! We have a donation form below that you can fill out. Once we have a “Dreamer” (A candidate for our foundation) We will reach out to those on our Donation List and see who is available and what service they can provide! Our foundation is still very new and just getting off the ground! It will take us some time but WE CANT WAIT ! With out all of our amazing donors and Vendors none of this would be possible. THANK YOU.
If you are not a wedding industry professional but still want to help our cause we have an email list you can sign up for updates and we will notify you when we need volunteers, when we are hosting events and much more!
