WHAT?
The Tyler Speier Retreat is an interactive experience for florists and event planners. Our main focus is to refine our skills, refresh our minds, and renew a sense of inspiration. Tyler Speier focusses not only on practical education for event professionals, but also on his three key values in his business: Being KIND, BRAVE, and AUTHENTIC.
It is a 3-day retreat full of immersive educational seminars and hands-on experiences. Each attendee will walk away with valuable insights into the luxury wedding industry, new headshots, refined event design skills, and a gallery of images to use in their own portfolios.
WHO?
This retreat is designed specifically for event professionals wishing to build and grow their businesses. We specifically focus on event design at this retreat, so we mainly have event planners, florists, and venue managers attend. However, the retreat is open to anyone who loves entertaining, is interested a career in event design, or who has a career in a creative industry and wants to build their portfolio. Last year, we had attendees who worked for catering companies, rental companies, and even from a bridal gown salon!
WHEN?
May 5-7, 2020. It's in the middle of the week so you can fly in to Santa Barbara (or LAX) on a Monday, enjoy the retreat Tuesday-Thursday, and fly home to your own businesses on Thursday evening (or Friday morning).
WHERE?
We are hosting the retreat in Santa Ynez, California - beautiful Santa Barbara Wine Country! The retreat will be at Eccomama farms - an incredible hidden gem in the Santa Ynez Valley. Eccommama farms grows David Austen Roses and several other incredible varieties - we will be able to design with the flowers they have onsite for a truly "farm-to-table" experience. There is a beautiful lake, mountain views, and amazing, unique spaces to create beautiful floral installations. Eccomamma Farms has beautiful accommodations for the attendees.
