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.

It was truly a privilege to be part of The Wedding Masterclass State of the Wedding Industry. The energy, passion, and insight you bring to the experience are inspiring — it’s clear why your work makes such an impact.

George Howell, Georgi Caterer NYC

The panel discussion was such a valuable part of the day, and I really appreciated how your ice breaker questions and activities helped push us to show up more authentically. The Mastermind dinner was exquisite. From the food to the conversations, everything felt intentional and meaningful. I walked away inspired and energized. Looking forward to staying connected and joining future events.

Wow, Wow! SOTWI DC was truly an amazing and invaluable experience.  Thank you so much for the opportunity to connect and engage with some of the top wedding professionals in the area.  I'm so grateful to have met you, I can see your passion behind this work and it's amazing to see.

Christina M. Crowder, Inspired Events by Christina

Being an event team sponsor for State of the Wedding Industry and Passport Connections was so incredible, because not only did I get to capture the magic in the room- I got to connect and network with other wedding professionals. Seeing the room overflowing with ideas and helping one another to achieve our goals within the wedding industry was so special- I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to expand their circle and business within the world of weddings and events!

Christina Hart, Moments Made Magic

SOTWI is the anti-conference and much more intimate format where you can actually have a layered conversation about business and set goals.

Annie Lee, Daughter of Design and Plannie

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.

Marc Wilson, The Style Marc

Thank you so much for hosting another incredible event at Hotel Washington yesterday. I always love attending your State of the Wedding Industry, yesterday was my third and I have to say, it was the best yet! It was really something special! The hospitality, views and overall experience were top notch! The food was delicious and the setting was terrific!  I can't wait for the next one so I can report out on all of the lessons learned and applied!

Victoria Hamilton, VLBHCreations & Events

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.

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!
