Win a $25,000 Fantasy Wedding in Southern California


FALLBROOK, Calif., April 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau wants to make a dream wedding a reality for the lucky couple who wins the 6th annual Fallbrook Fantasy Wedding.

Applications are now being accepted for a chance to win an all-expense paid wedding and reception at one of three romantic venues in Fallbrook, Calif., a quaint village one hour north of San Diego.

The package, valued at more than $25,000, includes invitations, bridal gown, tuxedo rentals, hair and make-up, spa treatments, limousine services, lodging, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, flowers, photographer, videographer, clergy, music, reception, D.J., wedding favors and wedding cake.

"This is a fun, engaging way to promote Fallbrook and make a bride and groom's wedding fantasy come true," said Linda Kissam, executive director of the Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau. "What could be better than that?"

Winners get to plan their dream wedding at The Grand Tradition (www.grandtradition.com) with its picturesque Victorian and tropical reception areas or Los Willows Resort in the canyons west of Fallbrook (www.loswillows.com) or Pala Mesa Resort (www.palamesaresort.com) with all its outdoor beauty.

For Brenda and William McLemore winning a Fantasy Wedding three years ago was indeed a dream come true. The couple was struggling with the challenges of caring for a young boy with medical problems and the likelihood William was headed overseas with other Marines from Camp Pendleton.

"There's no possible way we could have done all that by ourselves," explained William, who is now stationed at Fort Meade, Md. The staff at the Grand Tradition helped them plan the wedding, pick out a cake and select the music.

"We are extremely grateful to the people who dedicated their time, resources and money to make it a truly special day for us," he said.

To apply for the opportunity drawing, go to the Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau web site at www.findfallbrook.org and select the Fantasy Wedding button. Applicants will be charged $50 each time they apply. They and their family and friends may enter as often as they like. The more applications filed, the better your chance to win.

Deadline for entering the contest is February 6, 2009. The winning couple will be announced on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2009. They will have one year to select a wedding date and hold their special Fantasy Wedding.

The greater Fallbrook area also is well known for its active arts programs, charming historic downtown area and is a popular destination for couples from all over the United States who want a unique setting to start their lives together. An estimated 500 weddings take place each year in the community, including ceremonies at the three Fantasy Wedding venues and at dozens of local churches.
