We Gave Away a Reception with the WRRV Wedding Day Giveaway!

It was a party at the Silk Factory in Newburgh, NY last night, and it was only a small preview of what's to come. The WRRV Wedding Day Giveaway finale ended with one happy couple winning a wedding reception package complete with bar, photographer, makeup, venue, and more. Here's how it went down.

Finalists arrived at the Silk Factory Thursday night for the party that would decide who would be walking out that night as grand prize winners. Over 100 WRRV listeners gathered on the beautiful second floor of the Silk Factory, and as you can see in the photos, it's a perfect venue for a wedding reception.

Party at the Silk Factory in Newburgh, NY

Jonah (hi, that's me), Allison, and more of the WRRV crew hosted the party that was filled with great drinks, food, and prizes all night long. The reverse drawing style of the contest meant that every few minutes, names that were pulled out of a big bingo-style hopper were "disqualified". Then at the end of the night, four names were pulled from the hopper as finalists, and one last "disqualified" contestant was picked from the discard pile as finalist number five!

The Finalists are Chosen

Each of the finalists were invited to pick a "ring box". Inside one box was a wedding ring, signifying the grand prize winner. Boxes #1-#3 all contained consolation prizes of tickets to the fantastic Hudson River Craft Beer Festival, which meant the ring was in one of the two remaining boxes...

We Have a Winner!

And the winner is Justin from Poughkeepsie! As you can see, Juston and his fiancé were more than surprised when they pulled out the giant ring from the winning box. Congratulations!! Special thanks to the Silk Factory and Rhinebeck Bank.
