The Space
The Downtown Opelika railyard was a beautiful backdrop to our event. Exposed brick, sounds of the train, and walking distance to all of our favorite downtown Opelika businesses, made the railyard the perfect space for our Mom’s Night Out. This location can be rented through our venue sponsor, Cottonseed Studios and we highly recommend the railyard for your next event.
Food & Beverages
We had tons of fabulous food from local vendors. Bites were enjoyed by, La Cantina, Barberitos, Wilton’s Catering, Good Karma, Fratellis, and Gigi’s Cupcakes. Guests also enjoyed sips from John Emerald Distillery, Mama Mochas, and Milo’s Tea Company.
Decor
The eye-popping balloon designs and table decor around the venue was provided by an AOMB contributor and local mama, Calley Brady. We are grateful to her and our event team for all of their hard work that made the venue shine.

Entertainment, Activities, & Pop-Up Shops
A special thank you to Tara for doing a DanceBody Fitness class demo to get us up and grooving and our hearts pumping! Mamas were able to get information from Cornerstone Family Chiropractic and booking info from Jess Jones Boudoir. Karaoke was a huge hit, with mamas singing their hearts out with tunes provided by DJ Sophie Vor. Massages by Better Bodies, a craft from AR Workshop, pop-up shop with Grove Kids Clothing, Loveliest Village Designs, The Tiny Closet, and Braid Bar with stylist Nikki, Madison, and Chasity, and a brow bar with Auburn MedSpa kept us busy, relaxed, and pampered throughout the evening.
Non-Profit Partner
We are passionate about giving back to our community and we were honored to be working with BigHouse Foundation, a local non-profit dedicated to meeting the needs and improving the quality of life for children in foster care physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you to all who donated at Mom’s Night Out.
Thank you to all who came and enjoyed our FIRST birthday bash/Mom’s Night Out with us! We love meeting Auburn-Opelika mamas in person and away from our online platform. We love the opportunity to pamper and encourage you! We hope to see you at another AOMB event soon!
