Win a £10,000 wedding with Hallmark Hotel and the Hull Daily Mail

FIRST came the proposal. Then acceptance. From then, excitement for the big day grows minute by minute.

But for many couples, the reality of their budget

means their dream day is sadly out of reach – until now.

The Hull Daily Mail has joined forces with the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby to offer one lucky couple a £10,000 package for their special day in our Win a Wedding competition.

The four-star hotel has undergone a £3.5m refurbishment and has stunning views of the Humber Bridge.

Bridget Wells, the Hallmark's wedding and special events co-ordinator, said the hotel is perfect for providing a beautiful backdrop for wedding photographs.

The venue prize alone is worth £3,000.

She said: "Our main aspect is our fantastic views, as we have magnificent views over the Humber Estuary and beautiful gardens and grounds for the wedding pictures to take place.

"We have a purpose-built function room that looks out onto the garden, so you can get married with the views in the background.

"The room is beautiful, with chandeliers and lighting to enhance the day, and leads immediately onto the grounds through patio

doors."

The winning couple will be treated to a prize package worth £10,000, which will include a wedding dress for the bride and tailored suit for the groom, photographers, cake designers, make-up artists and even a luxury honeymoon.

Our proud sponsors, many of whom have been working together for years, will not only provide the essentials but also their wealth

of experience in the business.

The hotel's package includes a civil wedding ceremony, civil partnership ceremony or renewal of wedding vows.

It will provide everything from a red carpet reception to a three-course wedding breakfast and bride and groom accommodation.

Bridget said: "Our wedding package has drinks on arrival and a three-course meal with drinks.

To be in with a chance of winning the wedding, complete the online form below to register.

Entries for the competition, which is open to any couple, close on September 28. All entrants will be featured in the Mail.

Readers will then vote for their favourite couple by collecting tokens, which will be printed every day for two weeks.

All entrants will be invited to a reception at the Hallmark Hotel in November, when a Mr and Mrs-style quiz will decide the winners.
