NEWSFLASH: For Immediate Release
Local Travel Agent Gets Real-Life Destination Wedding Planning Experience in the Industry’s First-Ever on Location Training Weekend.
As a part of Destination Wedding University’s inaugural graduating class, Lori Hepp was among a select group that participated in the Playbook Retreat, the first start-to-finish destination wedding training weekend in the industry.
November 11, 2019- the world-renown travel entrepreneur, Richard Branson is famous for saying, “The best way to learn about anything—is by doing.”
And, this is precisely the idea behind the Destination Wedding Playbook Retreat. A unique weekend that offers travel agents the opportunity to see and practice exactly what goes into a destination wedding from the beginning to the end.
The Playbook Retreat is an elective capstone event for a select group of graduates of Destination Wedding University, which is a 16-week intensive program that takes students through every aspect of becoming a Destination Wedding Expert.
Only DWU graduates can register for the immersive weekend. This year, interest was so high that the Playbook Retreat sold out in a mere 4 hours, filling all 32 available spots. Hepp was part of the inaugural class and was one of the chosen few.
The moment they arrived at Hard Rock Resort, Riviera Maya Mexico, students were welcomed in style. There were cocktails hours, a Mariachi band, dancers and even a private event at the ultra-luxe Rock Star Suite. For three full days, in gorgeous surroundings, the participants learned and experienced direct aspects of a destination wedding. Welcome parties, décor, music and entertainment, the ceremony and following dinner, and even a luxury farewell sunset cruise.
Representatives from the Hard Rock Resort’s wedding department partnered with the Playbook Retreat to lead classes, sharing their motivation and expertise on everything from social media marketing to videography.
The retreat was created by Will Medina, a Florida based destination wedding expert who is also the creator of Destination Wedding University. “I really wanted to design an experience that was exclusive and intimate and would give these amazing agents real-life, hands-on look at what goes into making an unforgettable wedding.”
While I am not new to the destination wedding travel niche or the travel industry, I feel there is always something to learn in this ever-evolving arena. The insight, information, connections, and support I have received from this course and the Playbook Retreat has been incredible! In order to stay on top of trends and grow within this changing field, it is crucial to engage in as many learning opportunities as possible. ~Lori Hepp, Owner of Playa Bella Weddings and Travel, LLC
Enrollment for the DWU is expected to triple next year, with registration opening in January 2020. Hepp knows that being a part of the first group to experience some as unique as the Playbook Retreat will give her invaluable insight to ensure clients have a stellar experience.
