WIN A WEDDING CEREMONY IN THE PARK!

Are you in the midst of planning your perfect wedding day? The Monmouth County Park System wants to offer you the opportunity to host your wedding ceremony in one of its picturesque park locations. From now until Monday, April 13, couples are invited to visit the Park System’s Facebook page and enter its “Say ‘I Do’ in the Parks” contest. All that’s required to enter is a photo of you and your sweetheart taken within a Monmouth County Park System park and a few sentences about yourselves. The public will then place their votes from April 14-30 to help choose the winners.

The happy winners of the “Say ‘I Do’ in the Parks” contest will receive the use of one of the following gorgeous parks as their wedding ceremony and photograph location (valued at over $400): Deep Cut Gardens, Middletown; Hartshorne Woods Park (Claypit Creek Section), Locust; Holmdel Park, Holmdel; Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, Long Branch; Thompson Park, Lincroft; or Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold. A Park System staff coordinator will be available to assist with the ceremony site and to answer any questions the couple may have. This is a location prize only; ceremony necessities (i.e. chairs, flowers, decorations, officiant, etc.) are not included and are the responsibility of the winner. For full rules and details, please visit the Park System’s Facebook page.
