Exceptional Experiences
“I was the organizer for this event and did not stay, but the feedback from the participants was great. From the organizers point of view, Davie, Lisa , and Allie were exceptional in planning our event. They all went above and beyond to make sure our retreat was a success. They are a fantastic team and we appreciate them so much! Thank you!”
