When we hosted our very first Soigné Retreat in February of 2019, we had no idea what to fully expect, but, we knew we had the start of something pretty special. The dream of creating a retreat where community, creativity, and business would come together in a relaxed yet luxurious setting was something I had personally dreamed about for years. Friends, let me tell you that what ensued was nothing short of pure magic. The passion, warmth, intimacy, and beauty that was experienced was simply inspiring. I knew then and there that an authentic and refreshing workshop for event professionals was desperately needed. The truth is, we need each other! We need a place where we can openly share the challenges and celebrate the victories together. Will you please join me and the entire Modern Day team April 8th-11th for another extraordinarily memorable experience. Together with other like-minded individuals, we learn how to take your driving passion and turn it into lasting prosperity and clarity.
The Details
Learn the secrets to up-leveling your business with this immersive all-inclusive luxury retreat for wedding professionals.

It’s time to recharge your creative juices with a luxury retreat designed BY a wedding professional, FOR wedding professionals.
The wedding industry is constantly changing, and whether you’re a designer, planner, or florist, you have to always be on top of trends, changes, and nuances to create the ideal environment and aesthetic for each client.
With this three-night retreat, I’ll help you learn how to do just that on a much grander and more efficient scale.
This isn’t your typical retreat. Instead, this event was created with you in mind.

Testimonials
“Having never attended a retreat, I had no idea what to expect. From the minute I walked in, I felt as if I had arrived at my sister’s home. Jenn met me at the door with a huge hug, she turned to me and looked me right in the eyes and said, ‘I’m so glad you are here - thank you for coming’. At that moment, I knew I had just met someone I would always adore and call my friend. The entire weekend was so well thought-out, and every attendee felt the same as I did - at ease, and at home. Needless to say, we were all in awe. It’s friendships, relationships, and borrowed strength we search for and so desperately need as women, but struggle to ask for help. And then you are put in a room with women who all look unalike, wired differently, yet we all have the same moving parts. It’s at that point when the unfolding begins. We think we know strengths and weaknesses, but to speak of them out loud puts them at a whole different level and makes them even more real… uncomfortable at times, but real. Jenn brought awareness to each one of us, and offered the tools to work through our fears, concerns, and discomforts. I am eternally grateful for Jenn and the warm, genuine attachment I feel toward you from just visiting over a few days. Plus, you have the best super-hero cheerleaders anyone could ever ask for!” - Amy Hendrickson, Amy Kate Designs
“I walked away from my time at the Soigne Retreat refreshed and renewed! It is important to invest in yourself to better serve your clients. Jenn and her team went above and beyond to make the group feel welcomed and comfortable. This experience was above and beyond all expectations! I cannot wait to attend another retreat.” - Melissa Conradie, Conradie Event Design
