The annual Party at the Port charity event returns May 16, 2014 for a night of extravagant, nautical chic celebration toward a good cause. Attendees will mix and mingle amongst the city’s most influential party-goers while fundraising for Wish Upon a Wedding and the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy.

“For the second year in a row, we have selected Wish Upon a Wedding as our primary beneficiary for its contribution to the public, providing free-of-charge weddings to couples facing terminal illness,” says Ryan Angott, Committee Chair for the event. “Our second beneficiary proceeds will help fund the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, whose efforts strive to maintain and bolster our community on the riverfront,” adds Angott.

Party at the Port will be held at the Waterview Loft at Port Detroit from 7 p.m.–Midnight. Guests will enjoy:

  • Gourmet strolling dinner provided by Continental Catering & Events
  • Five hours of open premium bar
  • Two DJs and several live performances including the renowned Ben Sharkey Trio and popular Matt Kysia Trio 
  • Decadent dessert station aboard the Ovation Yacht

Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit charity that celebrates the courage, determination and spirit of couples in love during their most challenging times, providing gratuitous weddings for qualifying couples facing serious life-altering circumstances. The charitable proceeds from Party at the Port will help fund at least 10 local weddings. For more information, you can visit http://wishuponawedding.org/.
