It’s a “Field of Dreams” meets “The Wedding Planner” Busch Beer promotion, that three lucky couples could win.
Here’s the deal…
Pandemic lockdowns disrupted planned weddings across the nation last year, and most of them got put on hold. And now with things opening up again there’s a wedding venue backlog (especially for those in open air settings that allow for social distancing) and couples are having a difficult time finding the right location to exchange vows…
Busch to the rescue…
Busch, which is now owned Anheuser-Busch InBev, is offering all-expenses-paid weddings to three couples who are having a hard time finding a wedding venue amid the backlog of couples looking to tie the knot in 2021.
Busch will cover the cost of a wedding planner, ceremony photographer, hairstylist, makeup artist, flowers, entertainment and catering, which includes a wedding cake and supply of Busch Beer.
Winners can invite as many as 100 guests to the ceremony and reception, which will take place at Anheuser-Busch’s barley farm in Idaho Falls, Idaho, or one of its corn farms in Bismarck or Fargo, North Dakota.
To enter, couples can take to social media via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and explain how Busch Beer brings them together, using the hashtags #BuschFarmWedding and #Contest.
April 7 is the contest deadline for entries, after which Busch will select 10 finalists with the most creative posts, and then will choose three winners from that group, per the contest rules.
“Busch has been a staple at weddings for years, and we were disheartened to see even more couples unable to make their celebrations happen this year due to a lack of available venues,” said Daniel Blake, VP of Value Brands at Anheuser-Busch….
“We believe that weddings, just like our beer, are best enjoyed in the great outdoors, so we are thrilled to be working with American farmers to help create exclusive wedding venues for Busch fans.”
Busch has run several contests in the past with wedding tie-ins. In 2019, the brand offered enough cash to cover the cost of a wedding, with the ceremony ordained by its “Busch Guy” spokesperson.
And in 2020, Busch offered couples who had seen their weddings cancelled thanks to COVID-19, a year of free beer.
