Announcing Laurie Arons’ 2015 Wedding Planner Masterclass

Time and again Laurie Arons’ gorgeously designed events have graced our pages and wowed us beyond belief. And when you team her up with some of the industry’s incredibly talented creatives, set amongst the breathtaking scenery of The Ranch at Rock Creek, the Wedding Planner Masterclass by Laurie Arons is born. Take a peek at one of our most-loved soirees by Laurie, captured by the amazing Jose Villa, and see more details on the Masterclass below!

Ridiculously stunning, right?! We can’t wait to see the results of her Masterclass, taking place this April 20-24th, which will be beautifully snapped up by our dear friend Jose Villa and co-designed by Mindy Rice. Not to mention, Casa de Perrin will be sprinkling the tables with their pretties, Amber Moon Design will be providing graphic design goodies and Paula LeDuc Fine Catering of course, adding their delicious touch. And lucky us, we’ll be there to witness it all and provide some valuable tips on getting published! It’s a seriously amazing group, folks.

From Laurie Arons Special EventsI was inspired to create the Wedding Planner Masterclass after my experience collaborating with friend and colleague Jose Villa on four of his photography workshops. Held in intimate, beautiful settings, his workshops are an opportunity for students to step away from daily life and focus on education and creativity in an inspiring environment. I found it incredibly rewarding getting to know the next generation of wedding photographers and help them develop their businesses. I also cherished the design process with such talented industry professionals, as we dreamed up unique wedding scapes in these spectacular locales.

I realized there is a need for something just like this in the planning world – a workshop for young wedding planners to gain practical industry knowledge, but also be inspired to take their work to the next level. The Wedding Planner Masterclass is a four day intensive workshop where I’ll share substantial advice, resources and secrets I’ve learned planning weddings for over 20 years. Students will also hear from industry leaders (Jose Villa, Mindy Rice Design and Style Me Pretty to name a few!) to gain unique perspective into their disciplines and build valuable relationships.

I chose to hold the Masterclass at the Ranch at Rock Creek as a luxurious escape from the daily stresses of event planning. This five-star ranch is visually spectacular and has outstanding service, so students can take a deep breath and open their minds to the experience. As we share meals and enjoy activities at the ranch, there will be countless opportunities for students to ask questions, share stories and make new friends. We’ve also planned some beautiful wedding designs and special surprises to make this a significant and memorable experience for all.

The Wedding Planner Masterclass will be held April 20th – 24th, 2015 at The Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana. Space is limited, so visit lauriearons.com/masterclass to register. Email events@lauriearons.com for more details.
