Gaylord Hotels Announces Strategic Partnership with KODAK Event Imaging Solutions

NASHVILLE, TN – November 7, 2011 – Gaylord Hotels has announced a new strategic partnership with KODAK Event Imaging Solutions that will enable guests of the four hotels to depart with “KODAK Moments” to last a lifetime. The company now has exclusive rights to photograph guests at Gaylord Hotels in some of America’s most popular destinations, including Nashville, Tenn., National Harbor, Md., Kissimmee, Fla. and Grapevine, Texas.

Starting today, roving photographers at the hotels will capture special moments of guests in pictures, compliments of Gaylord Hotels and KODAK Event Imaging Solutions. Guests can then purchase the photo prints and gifts as special keepsakes of their stay.

In addition, special photo opportunities will be offered exclusively to Hotel Holiday Package participants.

“Gaylord Hotels are known as the places to celebrate life’s special occasions,” said Rich Maradik, CMO of Gaylord Hotels. “Over the past few years, we have engaged in a few, selective partnerships with an eye toward enhancing those experiences to make them even more meaningful for our guests. KODAK Event Imaging Solutions is a very exciting extension of the Gaylord Hotel experience.”

The partnership will also include several property specific event sponsorships such as Holly Jolly Town Square at Gaylord Opryland; the Luminescence Live Musical Revue at the Gaylord Palms; Glass Cactus New Year’s Eve at the Gaylord Texan; and the nightly tree lighting show & indoor snowfall at Gaylord National.

“It’s a picture perfect fit for both Gaylord Hotels and us,” said John Bryant, President, KODAK Event Imaging Solutions. “Our onsite photographers and Kodak based imaging services and solutions will be used to provide a portfolio of compelling memory products for Gaylord guests.” KODAK Event Imaging Solutions and Gaylord Hotels will also offer an interactive online component for guests to use after their visit to one of the Gaylord hotels.
