Loved our stay at @omniinterlocken #denver !

Part modern mountain lodge, part hotel resort, all fantastic.

Can’t wait to come back and spend more time there!

Huge thanks to the team there making our stay so wonderful!

😱 My biggest fear when bringing @stateofthewedd

😱 My biggest fear when bringing @stateoftheweddingindustry to a new city? 🏙️

Egos + Cliques.

When we bring #stateoftheweddingindustry to new cities, they don’t know what to expect because they’ve never experienced it before. It is easy to assume State of the Wedding Industry is just like other network events or forums or educational seminars.

But it’s not.

And that’s intentional.

State of the Wedding Industry was designed specifically to provide what regular networking and education does not: true community, connection and collaborative learning - all in a jam-packed, curated 3-hr schedule.

🫶🏽 We designate our space as a safe space where all are welcome: no judgements, no competitor analysis, no egos.

😍 Love this video from #cleveland a few weeks back by @lexdanielsweddings showing no egos and all the support and community in Cleveland’s wedding community. We can’t wait to come back next year!

✅ Sign up for our mailing list (link in bio) to know when we are coming to your area!

🙏🏽 Huge thanks to our amazing event team to create such a beautiful space and event!

Could not have loved our stay more at @the_rittenh

Could not have loved our stay more at @the_rittenhouse !

Traveling as part of your job means you’ve stayed in way too many places to count, so when you get taken care of well like we did at The Rittenhouse, you don’t want to leave. 🤣

We can’t wait to come back to #philly and stay there again - see you next year ##philly for @stateoftheweddingindustry !

➡️ Stay tuned for the full recap of State of the Wedding Industry Philly at @vueon50 with @garcesevents @deevents.co and the amazing event team! (But check out our stories for a preview!)

💫 Magical ✨ the only way to describe @stateoftheweddingindustry #hudsonvalley

Everything about @huttonbrickyards and our event team was perfection.

And not only did we have an amazing State of the Wedding Industry event, but we also had a transformative Mastermind Retreat afterwards.

It was an opportunity to dive deep and work ON not just IN your business to move the needle further than in your own.

Our Masterminds are for those who are ready to level up but aren’t doing it fast enough on their own. At our Masterminds, you get the guidance to think about the things you didn’t know you need to think about - and that’s game changing. You don’t know what you don’t know (or else you would have done it already).

We will be rolling out our Mini-Masterminds for a select number of cities this year and more next year.

If you’re wondering if attending our Mastermind event is right for you, just DM me and let’s chat.

UP NEXT: State of the Wedding Industry

#Philly Thurs, May 8th @vueon50 @garcesevents
#Denver Thurs, May 15th with @emergeeventcollective @lionsgatecenter

Hope to see you at one of our events soon!

One of my favorite areas, Hudson Valley, is coming up soon!

With the warmer weather upon us and before the wedding season craziness begins, join us for @stateoftheweddingindustry Hudson Valley at @huttonbrickyards on 4/24 from 1-4pm!

Not to confuse you, this is separate but related to the Mastermind Retreat.

State of the Wedding Industry is from 1-4pm and will be jam packed with amazing conversations and connections to motivate you for the rest of 2025. Take a look at @stateoftheweddingindustry photos and video to understand more about what attending a SOTWI is like.

The Mastermind Retreat ticket includes a ticket to State of the Wedding Industry as well but is for those who want to stay overnight, experience Hutton Brickyards, and be a part of the meals, conversations and connections with the Mastermind group.

If you’re not familiar with mastermind groups or business coaching, think about getting a business mentor who can give you advice, ask you thought-provoking questions and help guide you to not only create a strategy but an action plan to achieve your goals.

Whether you come to one or both, you’ll leave changed and uplifted, inspired and informed to tackle the next month and beyond.

Registration links are in the bio 👆🏽

Can’t wait to see you there!
