Hotel chain sponsors “I Do†contest
It happens only once every 100 years. So at least one hotel is capitalizing on a perfect calendar reading of 11-11-11 to host 11 weddings for 11 winning couples as well as other prizes with the Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts “Marry Me” giveway.
“Those who are selected as having the most dedicated relationship and intriguing love story will be whisked away to a once in a lifetime New York City wedding at the Crowne Plaza Times Square- Manhattan,” says the hotel chain.
“Since many people will want to get married on 11.11.11, it’s the perfect time for Crowne Plaza to step in and throw a wedding celebration in honor of this very lucky day for 11 very lucky couples,” said Steve Ekdahl, director, Leisure Travel, US Sales & Marketing, IHG. He added:
“And on top of this we’re offering all couples a sweet deal of up to $1,250 back when they book the ‘Honeymoon on Us' promotion at any one of almost 200 Crowne Plaza hotels across the U.S. and Canada by the end of this year.”
