As a proud supporter of marriage equality and on the heels of the Supreme Court ruling, the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau has launched a marketing campaign encouraging LGBT couples to tie the knot in Louisville.
‘Say I Do In Lou,’ which kicked off July 13, spotlights Louisville as a welcoming wedding destination in digital ads across social media.
The campaign culminates with an all-expenses-paid-wedding and weekend getaway (sponsored by the Louisville CVB in partnership with several local businesses) to Louisville Sept. 18-20, 2015. The contest is open to all couples, who are legal residents of the United States, are 21 years old or older at the time of entry, wish to marry as part of the Louisville Pride Festival, and who are able to secure a valid Kentucky marriage license.
The winning couple will exchange vows on the rooftop deck of 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen (Louisville’s first and only rooftop bar and restaurant) at Hilton Garden Inn Downtown on Sept. 19. Following the wedding, the couple will celebrate their marriage at the inaugural Louisville Pride Festival in what’s being touted as the “World’s Largest Wedding Reception,” as thousands are expected to attend.
The prize package, valued at more than $20,000, also includes airfare, limo transportation, music, flowers, wedding coordinator services, photography, videography, décor and more.
