The New Mexico Dream Wedding Giveaway Has Been Making Wedding Comes True in the Land of Enchantment Since 2008

Each year our family of sponsors join together to collectively change the lives of one deserving New Mexico couple. As the producer of this statewide event, I feel honored and privileged to work with some of our state's finest wedding retailers. We invite only one premier retailer per business category to become a sponsor of the New Mexico Dream Wedding Giveaway. This creates an exclusive list of wedding specialists who unite to create the most memorable, most beautiful, and most creative wedding ceremony and reception possible.

DREAM DRAWING EVENT:  To be eligible to win the $50,000 New Mexico Dream Wedding Giveaway, all couples who have entered the contest must be present at the Dream Drawing Event. This special event is held in January, and a drawing in conducted to determine the "15 Semi-Finalists" couples.

SPONSOR VOTING: After meeting the 15 semi-finalist couples, our team of Dream Sponsors place their private votes for the five couples they feel most deserving of the $50,000 Dream Wedding. These five finalist couples then move on to campaign in the community to garner votes from New Mexico residents.

COMMUNITY CAMPAIGNING: The five finalist couples will campaign in the New Mexico Community in January and February.  During the campaign period, couples conduct several fundraisers designed to generate donations for UNM Children's Hospital. If you're unfamiliar with New Mexico's only dedicated Children's Hospital and the extensive services it offers in our region, we invite you to visit UNM Children's Hospital to learn more.

PUBLIC VOTING: The much anticipated two-week voting period takes place each February, when all New Mexico residents are invited to log on to NMDreamWedding.com to cast their vote for their favorite couple. One vote per valid email address is accepted.

WINNING COUPLE: The winning couple is determined by the number of votes received, amount of charitable contributions raised, campaign etiquette, and the overall attitude exhibited while campaigning as a five finalist of the New Mexico Dream Wedding Giveaway.

DREAM WEDDING DATE: The Dream Wedding is held on a Sunday in May or June, and is determined in advance by the NMDW staff.  The date will be announced when the contest begins in October.  The winning couple must be available to be married on this date.  (Watch for all contest rules availoable to entrants when the contest begins!)

I look forward to meeting this year's deserving couple, and to another successful year in the lives of our sponsors, our wedding couples and their families, and in our wonderful New Mexico community.

With much gratitute and excitement for year four,
