I’m really excited to announce that Jubilee Events is holding our first contest where a deserving Connecticut couple will win a Full Planning Package! Lately I have been hearing many touching stories of couples meeting some resistance and unique challenges as they plan their wedding. During a meeting last week with Lori of Florein Southbury we talked about life and business and the topic of paying it forward came up. I’ve always been a strong believer and try to live by the philosophy as much as possible. After our meeting I was so inspired, and felt compelled to help a deserving couple and their family plan their wedding.

To enter the contest is simple:

In one thousand (1,000) words or less, please tell me (via email: candice@eventjubilee.com) about your unique love story and the challenges that you have met while planning your wedding. Due to the nature of availability I ask all participates to email me prior to submitting your essay with your wedding date. I want to make sure I am available! Along with your essay, please also be sure to include:

— Both of your full names
— Your evening contact information
— Your current location
— A picture of you both

The contest is open from Monday, October 26, 2008 – Monday, November 24, 2008 and the winner will be announced December 1st. Your wedding must be in 2009 or 2010 and in Connecticut. There are no other stipulations to our contest! The winner will be chosen by myself and my staff and will receive Jubilee’s Full Planning Package with a few generous extras.

Our Full Planning package is full of unique services such as vendor recommendations / selections, design and detail development, budget assistance, etiquette advice, menu / wine selections, week of coordination and SO much more. A detailed list of services can be downloaded here. If you have any questions please comment to this post so they can be answered publicly.

We appreciate all our readers spreading the word about our give-a-way to couples you know who are having a tough time planning their wedding. The more people who know, the better!

Good luck to all who enter. I am so looking forward to reading your entries and helping to plan your wedding!
