The Contest

The Planner

Your big day will be in the savvy hands of A–list planner Jo Gartin, who’s planned the nuptials of stars such as Kate Walsh and Tori Spelling, and now maybe, you. Known for her impeccable style and unique ideas, Gartin will make your affair one to remember.

The Announcement

All entries must be in by 11:59 pm CST on March 31, 2010. Couples are encouraged to run their own marketing campaigns, as the 50 finalists will be those with the most votes. A panel that includes Jo Gartin, along with judges from Crate and Barrel and Daily Candy will then select a winner. We will notify the lucky couple and the 18 other winners and post all winners on crateandbarrel.com/ultimatewedding in April 2010.

The Celebration

The planning will begin once the announcement is made. Gartin will be at your beck and call to bring your Ultimate Wedding to life, from designing invitations, choosing a locale, and setting the scene to creating a menu, picking a band, and coming up with favors.

Time is money, so hop to and register.
Its vow or never!

Sample Contest Entry

Our love story (in 100 words or less).

When his lab immediately rushed over to my Chihuahua at the dog park, we both rushed over to stop the madness. After some awkward small talk, we realized it was more than puppy love. They’ll be walking us down the aisle.

Three important details about our
Ultimate Wedding.

It will be a small destination wedding on a farm (albeit a fancy one) where there are plenty of activities for guests (swimming in a lake, tractor rides, spa). All family members will behave themselves. There will be a gospel choir singing during the ceremony.

Our everyday dream day.

We would go for a horseback trail ride, stop and have a picnic lunch, and watch the sunset while sharing a great bottle of wine.
