MORE LOVE. BIGGER.

Pine Brook Manor “We Need More Love” Initiative

The Pine Brook Manor “We Need More Love” initiative (the “Promotion”) is sponsored by Pine Brook Manor, 1200 NY-42, Sparrow Bush, NY 12780 (“Sponsor”).

This Promotion is a skill-based, merit-based application and selection process. It is not a sweepstakes, raffle, lottery, random drawing, game of chance, chance-based giveaway, or contest determined by chance. Chance will play no role in the selection process. No purchase, payment, booking, tour, contract, donation, or other transaction is required to apply or be selected. A purchase, payment, booking, tour, contract, donation, or other transaction will not improve an applicant’s likelihood of selection.

There is no fee to apply. Applicants are not required to purchase, book, tour, follow, share, post, tag, subscribe, make a payment, sign a contract, or provide anything of monetary value to apply or be selected. Social media engagement, including following, liking, commenting, tagging, sharing, or posting about Pine Brook Manor or the Promotion, is not required and will not improve an applicant’s likelihood of selection.

This Promotion is intended to be a merit-based selection process and not a chance-based promotion subject to registration or bonding requirements for games of chance. This Promotion is not determined by chance.

ELIGIBILITY

The Promotion is open to legal residents of the United States who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and are engaged or actively planning a wedding. Both members of the couple must be legally able to enter into contracts and legally able to marry under applicable law.

Employees, owners, officers, contractors, representatives, agents, and vendors of Sponsor, as well as their immediate family members and household members, are not eligible to apply or be selected. Sponsor reserves the right to determine eligibility in its sole discretion.

Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

ENTRY PERIOD

The entry period begins on May 14, 2026 and ends on June 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time (“Entry Period”). Applications submitted before or after the Entry Period may not be considered.

HOW TO APPLY

To participate, couples must submit one (1) application per couple through the designated application form during the Entry Period. The application may require written responses, contact information, wedding planning details, photographs, and/or a video submission.

Only one (1) application may be submitted per couple. Duplicate, incomplete, late, automated, fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise non-compliant submissions may be disqualified at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

Sponsor is not responsible for lost, delayed, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, inaccessible, or undeliverable submissions, including submissions affected by internet failures, platform errors, application form errors, email delivery issues, file upload issues, video upload issues, or user error.

SELECTION PROCESS

One (1) couple will be selected based solely on a qualitative, skill-based review of eligible submissions.

Submissions will be evaluated based on authenticity and clarity of the couple’s story, thoughtfulness and completeness of the application, alignment with the spirit of the We Need More Love initiative, emotional impact, and overall strength of the submission.

Selection is qualitative and based on Sponsor’s good-faith assessment of the stated criteria. Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding. Chance, random selection, public voting, social media engagement, and purchase activity will not be used to determine the selected couple.

Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Promotion, including eligibility, application review, selection, disqualification, prize fulfillment, scheduling, and interpretation of these Official Terms.

SELECTED COUPLE NOTIFICATION

The selected couple will be notified using the contact information provided in the application.

A couple is not confirmed as the selected couple unless and until Sponsor verifies eligibility, receives all required documentation, and confirms acceptance in writing.

The selected couple may be required to respond within a stated time period, complete additional documentation, provide identification, complete tax documentation, sign Sponsor’s event agreement, sign liability and publicity releases, and confirm their ability to comply with these Official Terms.

If the selected couple does not respond within the required time, is found to be ineligible, provides false or incomplete information, fails to complete required documentation, declines the prize, or cannot accept the prize for any reason, Sponsor may disqualify that couple and select an alternate couple using the same judging criteria.

PRIZE DESCRIPTION

The selected couple will receive a community-supported wedding experience currently valued at more than Twenty-Seven Thousand Dollars ($27,000), consisting of venue services provided by Sponsor and donated services provided by participating wedding professionals.

Additional wedding professionals may join the initiative before the close of the Entry Period. Sponsor reserves the right to add, remove, substitute, modify, or adjust participating wedding professionals, services, package components, and prize elements if necessary for scheduling, availability, operational, legal, safety, business, or other reasonable purposes.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED

Unless expressly stated in writing by Sponsor, the prize does not include catering, alcohol, bar service, videography, entertainment, DJ services, live music, lodging, transportation, bridal party hair and makeup services, attire, rings, marriage license fees, security, valet services, restroom trailers, tenting, lighting, generators, additional rentals, permits, taxes, gratuities, vendor upgrades, vendor travel fees beyond donated services, insurance, or any other goods or services not specifically identified as included in the prize package.

The selected couple is solely responsible for all costs and expenses not expressly included in the prize package.

APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE

The current approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize package exceeds $27,000.

The ARV is based on Sponsor’s venue services and estimated retail values provided by participating wedding professionals.

The ARV may increase if additional wedding professionals contribute services before the close of the Entry Period.

Actual value may vary depending on the selected date, event structure, services utilized, vendor availability, and other factors.

Any difference between the stated ARV and actual value will not be awarded. The prize has no cash value and may not be transferred, exchanged, sold, assigned, substituted, or redeemed for cash.

TAXES

The selected couple is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and reporting obligations associated with acceptance and use of the prize.

Sponsor may require the selected couple to complete a Form W-9 or other tax documentation. Sponsor may issue any tax reporting forms required by law. The selected couple should consult their own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of accepting the prize.

WEDDING DATE AND AVAILABILITY

The wedding date is subject to Sponsor’s availability and approval.

Blackout dates may apply and may include peak Fridays, Saturdays, holiday weekends, major holidays, previously booked dates, operationally restricted dates, and any other dates determined unavailable by Sponsor.

Because portions of the prize package are donated by participating wedding professionals, the selected wedding date must be mutually acceptable to Sponsor and the participating wedding professionals providing services included in the prize package.

The event must take place within twelve (12) months of selection unless Sponsor approves an extension in writing.

Sponsor does not guarantee availability of any specific date, season, space, layout, or event format.

VENDORS

Certain portions of the prize package are provided by independent third-party wedding professionals participating in the We Need More Love initiative.

Sponsor does not guarantee the continued participation of any specific wedding professional. If a participating wedding professional becomes unavailable, withdraws participation, experiences scheduling conflicts, ceases operations, or is otherwise unable to provide services, Sponsor may remove, substitute, modify, or eliminate that portion of the prize package in its sole discretion.

All vendors remain subject to Sponsor approval and venue requirements.

The selected couple is responsible for all contracts, upgrades, additional services, gratuities, and payments associated with any services obtained beyond those expressly included in the prize package.

EVENT REQUIREMENTS

The selected couple must comply with all Pine Brook Manor venue rules, policies, agreements, timelines, insurance requirements, vendor requirements, noise restrictions, parking rules, alcohol rules, safety rules, and applicable laws.

The selected couple may be required to sign Sponsor’s standard event agreement. Failure to sign required documentation may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate couple.

MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR CANCELLATION

Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend, extend, or cancel the Promotion if fraud, technical issues, legal requirements, weather events, venue limitations, public health concerns, safety concerns, operational constraints, or other circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control affect the Promotion.

Sponsor also reserves the right to modify the composition, value, participating wedding professionals, services, and structure of the prize package as additional contributions are received or circumstances require.

If the Promotion is modified, suspended, or canceled, Sponsor will have no obligation to award the prize except as required by law.
