1. Wedding Venue Owner & Manager Education – One of the main benefits of attending a working vacation is the opportunity to participate in workshops and seminars led by experts in the wedding industry. These sessions cover topics such as wedding venue contracts, best practices for wedding venue websites, wedding venue operations, strategies for improve lead generation, reduce wedding venue costs, reducing wedding venue risk & liability, how to improve your venue tour strategies to convert more leads to bookings, how to improve client communication, what types of advertising are most successful for wedding venue owners, social media marketing for wedding venues, and so much more! During every trip you get to tour a variety of amazing wedding venues and learn directly from some of the most successful wedding venues in the country. You will access valuable insights specifically for wedding venue owners that can help you improve your business.
2. Networking Opportunities – Another key advantage of attending a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation is the chance to network with successful wedding venue owners from around the country. Building relationships with fellow professionals can lead to collaborations, referrals, and new business opportunities that can help grow your venue. You will meet friendly wedding venue owners who are eager to share knowledge, strategies for success and build a sense of community with colleagues who understand what your life is like as wedding venue owner.
3. Destination Experience – By choosing a working vacation in a beautiful destination, you not only get to enjoy some time away from your daily routine but also have the chance to explore a new location and gain inspiration from the incredible cities we visit like New Orleans, Charleston, Phoenix, Nashville, Boston, Savannah, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and many more. Whether it’s a beachfront resort or a charming countryside estate, being in a different setting can spark creativity and fresh ideas for your business.
4. Hands-On Learning – Unlike traditional conferences or webinars, a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation offers hands-on learning experiences that allow you to put what you’ve learned into practice right away. From wedding venue contract language updates to improving your wedding venue website to convert leads to sales, the information provided can help you enhance your skills and gain confidence in running your wedding venue.
5. Personal Development – In addition to professional growth, attending a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation can also lead to personal development. Taking time away from your wedding venue for a few days will help you relax, laugh, connect with colleagues, focus on self-care and reflection, which can ultimately make you a more effective and fulfilled business owner.
6. Exclusive Access – Many working vacations offer exclusive access to successful wedding venue that are not typically open to wedding venue staff for education and mentoring. This behind-the-scenes access can provide valuable insight into how other wedding venues operate and inspire new ideas for ways to elevate your own venue.
7. Wedding Venue Owner Collaboration – Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacations often include opportunities for participants to share their contracts, marketing material, catering check lists, pricing packages, blogging and backlink building.
8. Community Building – As a wedding venue owner, it’s important to have a strong community of peers who understand the unique challenges and joys of running a wedding venue business. Attending a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation allows you to connect with others in the industry, build friendships, and create a support system that can be beneficial long after the event is over.
9. Wedding Venue Specific Knowledge – there are hundreds, maybe thousands of wedding education events, conferences and workshops available. There are few expert level, affordable wedding venue specific education experiences. Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacations focus 100% wedding venue strategies for success. Additionally, we do not have workshops or education sessions that offer a few elements of information followed by an option to buy more education. You get everything we can possibly share during our sessions. Real information not tidbits or crumbs so that attendees buy more strategies.
10. Value for Money – The cost of a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation is very low when compared to other wedding venue education resources that charge as much as $10,000 or more! The standard fee for attendance is $399, this does not include the hotel or travel. It’s important to consider the long-term value it can bring to your business. From the knowledge gained to the connections made, the return on investment from attending a working vacation can be significant.

Didi Russell, wedding venue expert and advocate for small business wedding venue owners around the world. I manage and produce Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacations and I believe wedding venue owners can work together to change the way the wedding industry works! Often our wedding venue owners feel alone in their journey and in their struggles. I created the Wedding Venue Owners & Mangement Community Group on Facebook 7 years ago to ensure that venue owners could find each other and have a resource and connection. After Covid, wedding venue owners were feeling beat up by the entire world, more alone than ever and terrified of losing their businesses. We bonded more than ever in the wedding venue owners & management community and it was time to create an in person education experience. The first Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation was hosted in New Orleans at the world famous Degas House in March of 2022. Since them we have toured hundreds of venues, in gorgeous cities all over the United States. Hundreds of wedding venue owners and managers have attended not only once, most attendees have joined 3 or more Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacations! These events are fun, unique and packed with valuable information! I hope to see you at one soon, find a list of upcoming cites and dates here.
