A: After over a decade of working as a wedding planner and designer with ROQUE Events, I found myself constantly exploring ways to elevate my craft and grow my business. I realized that many creatives in the wedding industry – photographers, videographers, and designers – are also looking for ways to refine their skills, learn from top industry professionals, and build a network that supports their growth. La Perle Retreats was born out of this desire to create a space where we can come together, learn, and grow through immersive, hands-on experiences.

A: La Perle Retreats is all about a high-end, transformative experience. We’re not just focusing on the technical aspects of photography or wedding design – we’re elevating the entire creative process. Our retreats combine luxury wedding design, business education, and wellness to help attendees refine their craft and grow their brand. It's a holistic approach, giving creatives the tools they need not just to succeed, but to thrive in the luxury market. And with my background at ROQUE Events, we bring the finest details, elevated experiences, and high-level design to everything we do.

A: La Perle Retreats is for passionate creatives in the wedding industry – photographers, videographers, wedding designers, and planners. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to break into the luxury wedding market, our retreats are designed to provide you with the tools, education, and connections to elevate your craft and business. If you want to refine your skills, build your brand, and connect with a like-minded global network, this is the place for you.

A: Our retreats are immersive and hands-on, combining creative shoots, business workshops, and opportunities to connect with industry experts. For our photography and videography retreats, we showcase a full wedding production, including a ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, invitation suite, and model couple. This provides a real-world setting for wedding creatives to practice their skills. Along with the styled shoots, we create a welcoming space to discuss luxury branding, how to break into the high-end wedding market, and tips for growing a thriving business.

California’s wine country is an ideal retreat setting —luxurious, serene, and endlessly inspiring. Its landscapes and hospitality create the perfect environment for creativity, connection, and elevated learning. As a Napa local, it is incredibly special to welcome attendees to the place I call home. Our upcoming retreat destinations embody both luxury and creativity, creating perfect backdrops for unforgettable retreat experiences.

A: We are currently offering waitlist spots for the upcoming Napa Valley Planner Retreat. Spots are limited to 10 seats, and I’d love for you to be part of this special experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to elevate your craft and take your business to new heights!
