Orlando loves brunch, so we are hosting a festival to celebrate some of the best local restaurants serving up tasting size portions of the brunch items they do best. This event will also feature bottomless brunch beverages – Tito's Vodka Cranberry Cosmopolitans, Duke & Dame's Caramel Apple Sangria, Blue Chair Bay Coconut Cake Mojito, and Preez Distillery's Blueberry Pie Mimosas. A full list of participating restaurants will be announced on OrlandoBrunchfest.com. We will also have live music with onstage DJ giving away cash prizes, Orlando Magic season passes and promotional giveaways from our sponsors. Brunch samples will be $5 each paid directly to each restaurant. Proceeds from the Orlando Brunchfest are donated to the wedding charity WeddingWish.org
The Brunchfest is being organized to support the Wedding Wish organization.
This project is dedicated to the many survivors, and sadly to the ones we’ve lost to cancer. It’s hard enough planning a budget-conscious wedding without the additional struggles of medical hurdles and bills. We just want to help where we can.
Through the generous support of our volunteer and donation-based network, we help couples facing serious illness and life-altering health circumstances have a truly memorable celebration of their love and receive mental health services during the planning stages. We accomplish this by partnering with other local wedding industry professionals with a vision to give couples and their loved ones a day away from serious illness.
Due to health-related circumstances outside of their control, the couples we honor have endured far greater challenges than many of us could possibly imagine and we aim to celebrate their love for one another.
We envision for each couple a day that provides a temporary escape from worry and creates a positive memory during a difficult time. Memories have magical powers. Long after the day is gone, the memories linger – memories of the kindness of a stranger, of the beauty of the decor, of the cake being cut and shared between you, of the smiles and laughs on the dance floor, of a truly love filled experience. These memories are our vision for each Wedding Wish and of this we are truly proud.
