This feels like a big investment... will it be worth it?
We totally understand it's a large amount of money. Having been on retreats ourselves that range between £1,500 - £2,000 we wanted to keep it at as affordable as possible with no hidden costs. We would love to charge less but with the exclusive use venue, private bedroom, 3 meals a day, business training and a photo shoot we believe this has amazing ROI for your business.

Absolutely - this is one of the best ways to make in-depth industry connections fast! Becca and Kelly will be there to ensure you feel welcome and included too.

No - this is an immersive experience and we want everyone to be fully involved. The value of this event is the connection with the other wedding pros and the space away from daily life.
Who is this event for?
The retreat is suitable for anyone involved in the wedding industry - Wedding pros, Venue owners, managers etc!
