We are always so excited to have the opportunity to host a bootcamp and we were looking forward to Orlando. With such a growing wedding industry and a compelling community we were thrilled to head down. Unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel our bootcamp in Orlando due to unavoidable conflicts. We are sad to be missing meeting some of you, but we definitely hope to reschedule again for the near future. We are going to be hosting webinars covering the same material that we were planning for the bootcamp so be on the lookout for that soon!!
