Epicurean Hotel Giving Away Same-Sex Wedding Packages

As clerks of the court across Florida prepare to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, one Tampa hotel is ready to celebrate.

The Epicurean Hotel is offering 10 same-sex couples the chance to win a wedding celebration, complete with a ceremony and a night’s stay at the hotel.

“We know a lot of people have been waiting a long time and we want to share in your joy,” the contest entry page states.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle issued a New Year’s Day ruling that his order declaring Florida’s ban on same-sex marriages was unconstitutional applies to all 67 counties. That clarification effectively paves the way for clerks of the court across the state to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Jan. 6.

The Epicurean’s contest is open to same-sex couples who are at least 21 years of age or older. They must be Florida residents and must have a valid Florida marriage license to claim the prize.

The deadline to enter the contest is Jan. 5. For more information or to enter, visit the contest’s webpage or check out the Epicurean Hotel on Facebook.
