What is a Wellness Retreat Wedding?
A Wellness Retreat Wedding is a multi-day celebration that integrates health, mindfulness, and rejuvenation into the traditional wedding experience.
Think of it as your wedding day—and a restorative getaway rolled into one.
Alongside the ceremony and reception, couples and guests are invited to enjoy activities such as:
Morning yoga, Qi Gong and guided meditation*
Nature walks, Forest bathing, sound baths, or mindfulness workshops*
Healthy, gourmet meals made with fresh local ingredients*
This style of wedding is designed to reduce stress and create a calm, meaningful atmosphere for everyone involved. It's a beautiful way to connect with yourself, your partner, and your loved ones in a serene, nature-based setting.
*You may choose to use your own caterers and retreat facilitators, or we can provide you with a list of our preferred contractors including outstanding local chefs, yoga instructors, therapists, wellness speakers, bush walkers, and more.
