Life gets busy, and we know it’s challenging to plan time to get away as a couple so you can remember why you got married in the first place!

At our Celebrate Your Marriage Conference, not only will you experience high-quality programming through engaging speakers and entertainers, you’ll enjoy plenty of one-on-one time with your spouse at one of the most romantic hotels in America! The bonus is that you’ll return home knowing how to celebrate and strengthen your marriage.

God intended marriage to be a beautiful relationship between a man and a woman that is designed to last for a lifetime. Healthy marriages are solid foundations for families, loyal partnerships, and mirror the kind of covenant God has for His people.

For over 20 years we have helped thousands of couples Celebrate their Marriage through laughter and growth together with challenging, funny, and relevant speakers … all while savoring time with each other at historic Grand Hotel.

Our Promise to You:

• You and your spouse will experience intentional time away to enjoy each other and fall in love all over again.
• You and your spouse will celebrate the relationship you have and come away with ways to grow as a couple.
• You and your spouse will live out the kind of marriage God intended.
• Your expectations will be exceeded with a heartfelt and unforgettable experience, leaving you eagerly anticipating your return to another Celebrate Your Marriage Conference.
