Couples planning weddings in 2027 and beyond are invited to experience wedding planning in a completely different way when Hyatt Place Jacksonville / St. Johns Town Center hosts A Taste of “I Do”: The Wedding Experience on Sunday, November 29, from 2:00–6:00 p.m. General admission is free, and advance registration is encouraged. Rather than a traditional bridal expo where couples move from booth to booth, A Taste of “I Do” is designed to let guests experience the flow and atmosphere of an actual wedding celebration while gathering ideas and meeting Jacksonville-area wedding professionals. Guests will experience elements of a wedding day including a live vow renewal, cocktail-hour experiences, food tastings, reception-style entertainment, a first dance, open dancing, venue tours and a staged grand exit. A real couple will participate in the vow renewal, allowing prospective brides and grooms to see how ceremony spaces, décor, florals, music, photography, signage and other wedding services can work together in a real-world setting. Throughout the afternoon, guests will also be able to explore Hyatt Place Jacksonville / St. Johns Town Center's event spaces, connect with participating wedding professionals, gather inspiration for their own celebrations and learn more about wedding-weekend and guest-accommodation options. The event will feature an elegant winter aesthetic incorporating winter white, champagne, soft gold, deep evergreen, warm lighting and candlelight. Participating wedding professionals will showcase their services as part of the overall experience rather than solely from traditional vendor booths. Services represented will include wedding planning and décor, entertainment, officiating, photography and content creation, cakes and desserts, signage and other elements of a wedding celebration. A Taste of “I Do” is designed for engaged couples, newly engaged guests, couples planning weddings in 2027, 2028 and beyond, those considering a vow renewal, and anyone looking for wedding inspiration in Northeast Florida.
