Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Wish Assistants blog! Here you'll find information about our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.



To volunteer for an event, please add a comment to the corresponding post. Since they are chronological, I will know who responded first. Please note that although you may post first or second or third, you may not be invited to an event. Soiree reserves the right to pick assistants based on experience or location.

Please email Rebecca if you have any further questions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What duties should I expect?
A: Typical assistant duties may include lighting votive candles, setting out favors and escort cards, assisting guests with their requests/questions, assembling DIY centerpieces, communicating with wedding vendors, cueing ceremony musicians, and many other as-needed tasks. Carrying heavy boxes, standing for 10+ hours, running up/down stairs, and dealing with stress can also be expected.

Q: What do you pay?
A: Currently the assistant opportunities listed on this site are for volunteers only. However, if you need to park in a garage, go through a toll booth, or if a coordinator asks you to pick something up at the store, all expenses are fully reimbursable.

Q: What should I wear?
A: First and foremost, flat and comfortable shoes! You will be on your feet for many hours at a time....sometimes on concrete or stone with no padding. High heels may look cute but are not practical for a wedding planner. Attire is typically a black or dark suit with button-down shirt or a pair of slacks with a professional shirt. Close-toed shoes are preferred but nice-looking open-toed shoes are okay too. We try to blend in with the wedding guests while retaining some professionalism. Remember you may get candle wax, hors d'oeuvres, wedding cake icing, or a multitude of other things on your outfit so don't wear anything irreplaceable :)

Q: What should I bring?
A: Just yourself! A big smile and open mind helps, too. Oh, and you might want to bring a water bottle and a small snack (granola bar, banana, etc)....sometimes we start the day at 11am and don't get dinner until 8pm.
