Just over fifteen years ago, on May 17, 2004, same-sex couples along with friends, family and supporters in Massachusetts gathered at city halls all over the state to celebrate! The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling came about six months earlier which ruled that the Massachusetts Constitution guarantees the right of civil marriage to same-sex couples. Massachusetts was the first state to achieve marriage equality!
To celebrate 15 years of marriage equality here in the Bay State, The Lenox Hotel is running a special promotion over Pride Month we are calling, Love Wins at The Lenox! The premise is simple, any couple who books their wedding over the month of June (for any future date), we will donate $1,000 to BAGLY on their behalf! BAGLY is the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth and is a youth-led, adult supported social support organization! They are committed to social justice and creating, sustaining and advocating for programs, policies, and services for the LGBTQ youth community. Read more about this amazing organization here: BAGLY
Our friends at Ben & Jerry’s and 33 Munroe are also spreading the love! One lucky couple who books their wedding at The Lenox this month will win a Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Sundae Bar for up to 100 people AND every couple that books with us and 33 Munroe will receive $500 off of floral design services for their special day! We can’t think of a better way to celebrate marriage equality than to be supporting an amazing LGBTQ organization while finding the perfect venue for your own big day! If you are interested in learning more about this promotion and about weddings at The Lenox Hotel please email alison@lenoxhotel.com
LOVE IS LOVE.
