Get ready for Out of the Box - Baton Rouge

Get ready, Baton Rouge!

Out of the Box, a group of local wedding vendors dedicated to upholding the highest standards, is gearing up for a wedding event like Baton Rouge has never seen.

Out of the Box's Engaging Cocktail Party will be a chance for brides to meet and mingle with the area's best wedding vendors - on a one-on-one basis! Rather than being overwhelmed by booth after booth of vendors in a frantic, fast-paced bridal show, Out of the Box will give you the chance to relax, have a glass of wine and enjoy an evening out with your fiance!

Held at the Old Governor's Mansion downtown, the event will be a mix of interactive examples from top wedding vendors in an atmosphere that more resembles a beautiful wedding reception than a bland, crowded bridal show.

So, mark your calendars! January 24, 2008 is a date you won't want to forget!

Check the blog often for updates on what you can expect at the event!
