Bev Neale, who is the landlady at Moonrakers pub in the town, is offering a wedding package that a bride and groom-to-be need for their big day for just £5, the Swindon Advertiser has said.
Ms Neale is offering a prize of a dress, hair, make-up, suit hire, wine, a wedding co-ordinator and a buffet for 100 guests at the pub's Crossways Suite to the winning couple.
The tickets, which cost £5 per couple, are being sold to raise funds for Prospect Hospice as well as the ongoing care of cancer patient, Natasha Macdivitt.
Ms Macdivitt (27), who is also from Swindon, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2011 but the disease has spread to her lungs and bones, giving her less than a year to live.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the raffle, Ms Neale explained: "My sister, Ann Marie Rogers, had cancer, and when I recently read about Natasha and saw her with her family it just touched me. It is a cause that is close to my heart and I wanted to help out."
A winner of the raffle prize will be chosen on 2 June.
