We are excitedly working on our plans for our next Kindred Collective which will take place in Early 2025 in California. In the meantime here is more information about our first Kindred Collective that took place on April 1-3, 2024 in beautiful Santa Barbara California
Kindred is an event like no other. For the first time in the wedding and events industry, we hosted group of 50% high-level planners and 50% high-level photographers / videographers for custom matched one-on-one sit downs, fine dining, and shared experiences.
Gone are stuffy conference rooms and surface-level conversations. Kindred Collective is a time of genuine connection with no pretense. We are here to find lasting partnerships, friendships, and support while enjoying fine dining, group experiences, and premier wedding venues.
