The Longleaf Event Center is the dedicated event space inside Anniston Museums and Gardens — a complex that includes the Anniston Museum of Natural History, the Berman Museum of World History, and beautifully landscaped grounds. One of Eastern Alabama's most unique venues.

We're targeting 47+ vendors across 8 categories: photographers, florists, venues, caterers, DJs, bakeries, hair & makeup, and jewelers. The confirmed list updates here as booths fill.

You don't have to, but most couples find it more useful to come together so you can both meet vendors and make decisions on the spot.

Totally fine. Plenty of people come to learn what things cost and get a feel for vendors before the proposal.

Yes. We built The Nest — a private, clearly marked nursing station in its own room off the main hall. Comfortable seating, soft lighting, no need to ask anyone. Just walk in.

A separate room off the main hall — quieter, no vendor tables. Danielle Hall from Sound Embrace leads a sound bath at the center (crystal bowls, ambient sound). There's also a tarot nook, a poetry corner, and a registry experience station. It's a place to breathe. Open all day, no ticket upgrade needed.

Yes. Tera Whigham presents a live bridal fashion show on the runway in Longleaf Hall. Shows run at set times throughout the day — check the schedule at the door. Seating is first-come on the runway side of the hall.

The North Patio (former pool deck) has Edison string lights and a DJ — couples are welcome to dance. Heather Florals runs a live Bloom Bar where she hand-builds arrangements on-site. Redbird Willow Farm has a floral installation. Four food trucks are stationed in the lot. The Gazebo is set up as a photo moment.

Yes — four food trucks outside plus Coldwater Bar + Kitchen inside for bar service and food. You won't need to leave to eat.

Yes — Anniston Museums and Gardens has a free surface lot at 800 Museum Drive. Overflow parking available nearby.
