Charity Wedding Donated by Area Businesses

Business

In coordination with Goodwill Manasota, Jennifer Matteo Event planning will be gifting a complete wedding ceremony and reception to a local veteran. All items and services for the nuptials were coordinated by Jennifer Matteo Event Planning and donated by local wedding industry vendors. The total gifted amount for goods and services exceeds $40,000, including everything from the engagement ring to the venue. Karrie Jewell was proposed to by Nathan Bookout last September on stage at the iHeart Radio concert, put on by Goodwill Manasota. After the proposal, they were greeted on stage by Jennifer Matteo who announced that they were not only being given an engagement, but an entire wedding. The couple was chosen for the good works and overall “Goodwill” that they posses.
