what’s a retreat wedding?
Turn your wedding into a multi-day retreat! When you think of your wedding day, you might picture a picture-perfect scene brimming with love, laughter, and maybe a little dancing on tables (we don’t judge!). But what if that celebration could last more than just one day? Say hello to the Retreat Wedding! This fabulous concept turns your special day into a multi-day adventure packed with fun, connection, and an endless supply of happy memories.
Our Retreat Wedding Package is the definition of full-service—meaning we handle everything (yes, everything) from design and budgeting to vendor hires, guest accommodations, and the seamless execution of your 3–4 day celebration. Think this sounds like regular ol’ wedding planning? Nope. Not even close. It’s a labour-intensive beast (for us, not you), but trust us—it’s a fraction of the effort you’d spend trying to DIY this level of magic.
The best part? No sneaky fees or surprise costs. The price you see is the price you pay, and it covers every last detail, including our rockstar team making sure every moment—from welcome cocktails to the final farewell brunch—runs like a dream. You get the wedding retreat of your wildest, Pinterest-perfect dreams, minus the stress. Sound like your vibe? Let’s make it happen.
