It’s normal to get teary eyed when you read reviews from clients right? RIGHT? 🥹🥹

Every year we host friends at the Steel Horse before we open for the season. I started calling it Workcamp Weekend (and even made shirts.) 😄

We provide all the food, beverages, accommodations, and good times—you help us do a few projects to get ready for opening day!

Workcamp Weekend 2025 is May 16-18, 2025 and we have a few spots open this year; so I thought the more the merrier! Would you like to join?? DM me if you thought — “hell yes!” while reading this. 🙌😀

Friends, I’m on a mission to make a mark on the out-of-control wedding industry.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Fun fact: I didn’t even have one! And yes, it’s a bit ironic that I own one; BUT that’s the point!

I have been so anti-wedding industry for so long that it’s driven me to create and build this special place that doesn’t do traditional weddings!

We do Wedding Retreats and ask ANYONE who’s either had one here, or attended one, why they are SO MUCH BETTER (on all levels) than blowing money on a few-hours-long traditional wedding. 🏔️👏🏼

Interested?? Explore if any of these dates work for you this year & get in touch with me ASAP!
