The Pines Resort in Bass Lake is having a free wedding giveaway for couples who have had to cancel or postpone their weddings.

Along with scrapped vacations, canceled cruises, postponed conferences and social gatherings, weddings have become a logistical casualty of Covid-19.

Immediate health concerns, gathering restrictions, venue and border closures directly affected many wedding plans. As a result, weddings across the country — including 25 at The Pines Resort in Bass Lake — were postponed. It’s caused additional stress and financial difficulties for both couples, as well as wedding vendors.

The Pines, however, is stepping up along with local vendors to save one of these weddings.

One couple will receive an all-inclusive “micro wedding” at The Pines Resort for up to 20 people (a $6,000 value). This is exclusively being offered to couples who have been displaced or had their wedding cancelled due to Covid-19.

“If the virus impacted you or your loved ones, and as a result, you needed to cancel your special day, we want to hear from you,” said Taylor Westerman, wedding sales manager at The Pines. “If your original venue could no longer host your special day to current restrictions, this opportunity is for you.”

Applications are accepted online through Aug. 20 at http://blog.basslake.com/2020/07/16/micro-weddings-giveaway/. The winner will be announced in September.
