Busch Is Ringing Wedding Bells This Summer

NEW YORK, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Champagne and top shelf liquor are a regular presence at weddings, but it's Busch Beer that has become an integral part in weddings. The brand saw on social media that some of its biggest fans were making Busch a featured guest in their wedding celebrations—tagging pictures, making bouquets, and calling on the brand for sponsorship of their nuptials. After years of listening, this Wedding Season, Busch is answering the call.

As of today, beloved Busch spokesperson, Busch Guy, has been officially ordained, and one lucky couple will have the opportunity for him to officiate their wedding this summer.  

In addition to Busch Guy as the master of ceremonies, the couple will receive a $25,000 wedding gift from Busch. With that gift, which is the average cost of a wedding in America¹, Busch is encouraging this couple to celebrate the things in life that really matter.

"We know Busch is beloved by our fans, but being featured in wedding photos and invited to the weddings themselves is an entirely other level," says Daniel Blake, Senior Marketing Director, Anheuser-Busch. "This new campaign is coming straight from the asks of our devoted community, and we can't wait to see Busch Guy bring together one happy couple this summer."

Couples-to-be in all 50 states are eligible to enter. Simply post on to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram why you want to get married by Busch Guy using #BuschWeddings and #Contest. Entries are open from May 20 to May 31, 2019.
