THE SOIREE SOCIETY
At The Soirée Society, we cultivate a community where wedding professionals step out of isolation, share openly, and prioritize mental wellness as the foundation for long-term success.
We are not built around traditional networking, business pitches, or education seminars. Instead, we curate restorative, creative, and wellness-centered experiences; such as reflective conversations in nature, yoga, sound baths, mindful movement, and artful sit-down gatherings at beautifully set tables... all designed to ease loneliness, embrace calm connection, and cultivate genuine friendships over transactional relationships.
Our purpose is to offer a supportive, non-competitive space where professionals feel safe to be vulnerable, recharge, and return to their work feeling confident, grounded, and empowered to build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
Our Vision
Founded with the belief that no one should navigate a demanding career alone, The Soirée Society offers a sanctuary where wedding and event professionals can recharge, connect, and grow together.
Founded by a multidisciplinary team spanning wellness, event production, creative leadership, and business operations, we understand the emotional and professional demands placed on those who create experiences for others. While our backgrounds vary, our shared belief is simple: no one should navigate a demanding career alone.
What we do
The Soirée Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting wedding and event professionals through thoughtfully curated, wellness-centered experiences. Wedding and event work can feel loud and social, yet isolating. Each experience blends wellness, creativity, and mindful connection, offering professionals a chance to slow down, recharge, and engage with others on a deeper level; creating space for real conversation with people who truly understand your work and your life. No panels. No pitches. No awkward networking games.
Our experiences help you:
-
Connect without pressure or self-promotion
-
Build genuine relationships, not just contacts
-
Break the isolation of working independently
-
Speak as a human, not a brand
Some gatherings focus more on creative or wellness elements, but the goal is always the same: slowing down and connecting. We don’t start with “What do you do?”... we start with “How are you?”
Why it matters
Through years of experience in the wedding and event industry, we’ve had the opportunity to listen closely to what professionals are really navigating; career transitions, rebrands, burnout, personal challenges, and the quiet weight of working in isolation.
Many professionals don’t feel comfortable sharing these experiences in traditional industry spaces. The Soirée Society was created to provide an environment where trust can form, friendships can grow, and support feels natural rather than forced.
Connection beyond competition
In addition to in-person gatherings, The Soirée Society fosters online connections that allow professionals to engage with peers across different regions and markets. By connecting individuals beyond their immediate geographic areas, we remove the pressure of local competition and create space for honest dialogue, idea exchange, and shared learning on a global scale.
The Heart of the Society
We believe that when mental, emotional, and physical well-being are supported, professional relationships become stronger and more sustainable.
Our work is rooted in the understanding that creativity thrives when people feel seen, supported, and connected. The Soirée Society exists to offer a sense of community for those who give so much of themselves to their work; providing moments of rest, reflection, and genuine connection within an industry built on care.
The Soirée Society is designed for professionals within the wedding and event industry, including planners, designers, florists, photographers, filmmakers, stylists, producers, and creative partners who value:
-
Authentic connection over transactional networking
-
Professional growth alongside personal well-being
-
Community built on trust, respect, and shared experience

This is a space for those who feel most alive when their senses, energy, or imagination are engaged; where light, texture, sound, and atmosphere guide the experience as much as the participants themselves.
Every detail is designed to encourage ease, spark inspiration, and cultivate a lasting sense of belonging, leaving a lingering warmth and connection long after the gathering ends.
