The city of Central, which is located in the East Baton Rouge Parish, has some unique resources to help you plan the wedding of your dreams.

If you want a traditional ceremony, Central has several wedding venues for you to consider, including Central Church, Cornerstone Fellowship, the Fellowship Baptist Church, and the Alexandria Seventh-day Adventist Church.

For intimate weddings, try Magnolia Bend Weddings, which features a beautifully maintained New Orleans styled courtyard, where you can exchange your vows and take wedding photographs. Magnolia Bend Weddings also offers traveling officiants and vow renewal ceremonies.

Sweet Impressions Bakery and Cafe, which is run by a husband and wife culinary team, can make elegant and unique wedding cakes, groom's cakes, and cupcakes for your big day.

The bakery and cafe can also make breakfast sandwiches, fresh salads, and Southern hors d'oeuvres, like crab cakes, for wedding brunches and bridal luncheons.

Central is just minutes from all the major attractions in Baton Rouge, so make sure you take a break from the wedding planning process to explore the area.

To start, you can tour historic sites, like The Myrtles Plantation, the Houmas House Plantation, and the Nottoway Plantation, enjoy the award-winning local cuisine, or attend one of the city's annual events, like the Baton Rouge Blues Festival.
