Nearly-weds in the area have a new date night on the horizon. The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, located at 150 Central Avenue, announced its first-ever Wedding Expo, taking place on Saturday, July 20 from 5-9 pm inside the opulent museum. Tickets are now just $10 during the Summer Sale and include a champagne toast for every guest!

The James Museum invites those planning their upcoming nuptials to join them for an evening surrounded by art as they begin crafting the wedding of their dreams amidst the breathtaking landscape of the American West. Guests will be able to meet with top-notch caterers, photographers, florists and other highly-rated local vendors, while also getting the chance to explore the museum’s stunning galleries as part of an unforgettable night out.

This unique event – which The James plans to host annually going forward – is less of a convention and more of a girls night out or couple’s date night. It promises to be an intimate and exclusive atmosphere where nearly-weds can celebrate their upcoming nuptials, explore the museum’s different available event spaces, and make real connections with vendors who can help bring their dream wedding to life.

Space is limited and registration is required, so we certainly recommend nabbing your spot quickly. For just $10 the ticket includes a champagne toast, access to The James Museum galleries, giveaways and more! Future newlyweds are welcome to have any and all join them in attendance, with partners, friends, family members or wedding planners invited to join, as well. All attendees must have a ticket.

With The James Museum as one of downtown St. Pete’s premier and finest wedding venues, it also serves as an excellent opportunity for wedding vendors to have face time with a captive audience. From caterers, live painters and musicians to photographers, videographers, florists and decorators, everything a wedding needs will be in one place. A limited number of vendor opportunities are still available as of this publishing, and interested businesses and individuals are encouraged to email events@thejamesmuseum.org to inquire about potentially joining the big night at the museum.

For those who haven’t yet visited The James Museum, the Wedding Expo is a particularly welcome opportunity to cross the beautiful museum off their bucket list and explore tens of thousands of square feet of incredible art and history. Learn about The James Museum Wedding Expo here.
