Danielle Henneberger,
Mise en Plan
I have been to several SOTWI events and locations, and I absolutely love the addition of the Mastermind Dinners. The broader networking and the panels are amazing during the day, but it's not often that any of us get a chance to sit down and really hear what others are thinking, share my own challenges, and get meaningful perspectives from a whole room of others who are or have been in a similar boat. The Mastermind dinners let us do exactly that. It's such a rare treat to be surrounded by great company, amazing food, and a quiet atmosphere. I always walk away feeling like I can take on tomorrow with confidence, especially with the new local friends and potential partnerships I made around the table.

I knew I was excited to meet the panelists of the Hudson Valley SOTWI event, but I didn’t really know what else to expect nor could I have predicted how genuinely warm and supportive everyone would be. It started with insightful and relevant discussions, but things just got better and better with many interactive vendor experiences, activities to bond over and genuine conversations with like-minded people.
The Mastermind Dinner was really where the magic happened, the smaller setting allowing for vulnerability and depth. This was my first big networking event but far from my last.
I would and have already recommended SOTWI to anyone looking to dip their toe into networking events or level up existing connections. You will learn something, you will make connections and you will have FUN!!

Megan is the kind of community organizer you can't help but be drawn to. Her energy, industry insight, and genuine desire to connect like-minded folks initially drew me to participate in The Wedding Masterclass. Receiving such a warm welcome in a creative, collaborative environment free from the competitive undertones that can often plague networking events was such a breath of fresh air for me. Her ability to foster that environment is what has kept me, and so many, coming back for more meet-ups since. Having those real conversations with fellow small business owners has played an invaluable part in staying inspired and motivated through all the trials that this path brings. Megan is such a dedicated advocate for bringing us together and for that, I am so grateful!

Described as the “Anti-conference” is the perfect! NO egos, NO attitude, and NO frills… [It] is pure networking at its core. Free-flowing, thought-provoking communication that inspires all levels of expertise to learn from and inspire each other! It was such a fun afternoon of camaraderie.

SOTWI is the anti-conference and much more intimate format where you can actually have a layered conversation about business and set goals.
Marc Wilson, The Style Marc
What a wonderful afternoon of sharing and community. The packed wedding masterclass is a must-attend. There’s nothing like a safe place to learn and grow. The perfect way to start the new year.
State of the Wedding Industry
State of the Wedding Industry (SOTWI) is our version of a wellness checkup meets support group. Egos are checked at the door and real talk conversations abound.
It is an opportunity to hear from high-profile local pros, understand what is going on in the industry locally and globally and also connect with other pros through structured networking - all to learn where you to adjust things that are going well, overhaul what's not going well, and celebrate your wins with people who want to cheer you on.
What you'll get:
- Insights about local and global trends
- New friendors to support and collab with
- Learnings from industry experts you can implement to level up your business
- An opportunity to be reinvigorated and excited about your business, couples and the wedding industry
This is not a standard networking event.
You want to make sure you are there on time for the full program:
12:30pm-1pm: Registration
1pm-1:30pm: Welcome
1:30pm-2:30pm: Panel Discussion
2:30pm-3pm: Small and Large Group Discussions
3pm-4pm: Networking, Bites/Drinks
You don't need to bring anything except yourself, something to take notes with, and some business cards.
But it doesn't stop there (because your business doesn't stop there).
After State of the Wedding Industry, we have Mastermind Dinner from 5pm-7:30pm, a thought-provoking discussion (over a delicious meal!) about goals, strategy, support and brainstorming about your business and how to better move the needle in your business.
And then, the following day, after marinating in everything from State of the Wedding Industry and Mastermind Dinner, come back for more at Mastermind Strategy Summit from 1pm-4pm, where we put it all into action for you. Work ON - not just IN - your business and get clarity on specific actionable steps to achieve your next level.
This could be moving into the luxury space, doing destination weddings, mentoring, speaking or more.
Mastermind Strategy Summit is an active time for you to understand what it takes and what to do to achieve to create your dream business faster and easier.
