danceScape is pleased to be part of the founding team of Wedding Saviours wedding professionals and business partners who have come together to provide a FREE Wedding Day for couples in need of assistance. Click here for our list of recommended Wedding Saviours Partners.
“FREE WEDDING CONTEST” FOR COUPLES IN NEED
Wedding Saviours consist of local Wedding Service Providers/Vendors/Suppliers who have come together to donate Products or Services and organize a “Free Wedding Contest” to a couple in need. There have been other successful chapters covered by the Media in Halton-Peel, Toronto, and Kitchener-Waterloo. Media sponsors have included Snap Newspapers. danceScape donated Wedding Dance Lessons to these deserving couples.
Wedding Saviours was founded by Brenda Holdsworth and Jane Dayus-Hinch (Celebrity Wedding Planner from the Television Show, “Wedding SOS”). The goal is to give couples who are unable to afford their own wedding, an opportunity to be part of a Contest that enables them to rally community support, organize food drives that “pays it forward” to a local Food Bank, in order to qualify.

About Wedding Saviours
Jane Dayus-Hinch, host of Slice Television’s reality show “Wedding SOS”, is one of Britain’s and Canada’s top wedding planners – celebrity, socialites and even royalty have benefited from her skills at pulling off the perfect wedding.
Jane was the GTA Team Leader at Wedding Saviours, and danceScape’s Robert Tang & Beverley Cayton-Tang were part of her GTA Team helping couples with their Wedding Dance Crash Course program.
The concept was founded on Chief Wedding Officer (CWO) Brenda Holdsworth‘s desire to give back to her own community and to network through social media with other Wedding professionals in her area. The idea for a Pay-it-Forward Marketplace to share proceeds with Charity is timely and you can search their Wedding Directory which introduces couples to the many businesses dedicated to making wedding dreams come true.
