A series of cocktail gatherings and panel discussions for brides-to-be featuring the city's premier wedding services pros.

Jacksonville Magazine's Bride publication is already the region's most widely distributed wedding services resource. And we're proud to say our Great Wedding Giveaway is hands-down the most exciting bridal promotion ever to be presented in Northeast Florida.

Bride's Night is an innovative series of upscale social gatherings that brings local brides the information they desire in a fun and enlightening way. Jacksonville Magazine’s Bride's Night just may be the most fun you'll have in the whole wedding process—apart from the Big Day, of course.

Each evening gathering is designed to be a stress-free outing for the bride, her parents and friends. There won't be any "hard sell" from vendors, nor will there be rows of trade show booths. Instead, attendees will be treated to a stylish night featuring delicious food and drinks, games, a panel discussion and an open Q&A period. The goal of each exclusive soiree is simple. We want each bride to leave with new ideas and truly expert advice about planning and enjoying that most special of days.

Tickets are $25 for brides, $15 for guests, friends and f amily.
