Gather & Grow
Yesterday was a day to remember as wedding and event industry professionals gathered at the beautiful Greencrest Manor and The Millhaven. We came together with a shared purpose: to encourage one another and enjoy an incredible meal. This gathering was more than just a social event; it was an opportunity to grow, connect, and strengthen our community.
Greencrest Manor, with its rich history and stunning architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for our gathering. As we walked through its elegant rooms and lush English gardens, conversations flowed naturally, and new connections were forged. Our journey continued at The Millhaven, where modern charm meets rustic beauty. A sister property to Greencrest Manor, The Millhaven showcased our venue’s diversity while providing a rich setting for a gorgeous tablescape designed by the Modern Day Collective team and Spanish-inspired cuisine by Chef Kody.
As professionals in the wedding and event industry, we often find ourselves working independently or in small teams. This gathering gave us a rare opportunity to come together and share our experiences, challenges, and successes. One of the most valuable aspects of our gathering was the chance to encourage one another. In an industry that can sometimes feel competitive, it was refreshing to create a space where we could uplift and support each other.
As we return to our individual businesses, we carry with us the inspiration and connections made during this gathering. Let's continue to support each other, share our knowledge, and grow together. After all, when we lift each other up, the entire wedding and event industry rises. We can’t wait to share more details about our next gathering!
