The city of Baker is a friendly, family-oriented, and progressive community located just nine miles east of Baton Rouge, so you and your wedding guests will have easy access to major regional and cultural attractions.

However, Baker has its own flavor and charm, and we found plenty of resources there to help make the wedding planning process go smoothly.

Walmart Supercenter is a great place to start, since it carries everything from wedding napkins and place cards, to disposable champagne flutes and table settings. You can also stop by its bakery for custom wedding cakes, groom's cakes, and cookie wedding favors.

Occasions Unlimited, LLC, a family-owned and operated wedding venue, can easily accommodate up to 299 guests in its versatile event space.

Finally, if you're planning a traditional Southern wedding, you'll definitely want to try Brittny's Seafood, which can help you plan a crawfish boil. It also specializes in fresh Louisiana Blue Crab, catfish, and shrimp.

Baker has plenty of things for you to do both in and around the city, so make sure you take some time to have some fun. To start, you can relax in one of Baker's 10 parks, like Baker Park, tour the Heritage Museum & Cultural Center, or visit nearby attractions, like the Baton Rouge Zoo.
