She also shares best practices for team management and highlights the power of collaboration in the wedding industry.
About Our Guest:
Helen, a former elementary school teacher turned wedding venue owner, now runs Brookledge, a serene retreat in Upstate New York. In 2021, she purchased the property, a former girls' summer camp, and transformed its 60 acres into a haven of cabins, glamping tents, and event spaces. As the owner, Helen focuses on helping guests reconnect with nature and unwind from their busy lives. She has been featured in the Times Union, Ramble & Roam blog, and several podcasts. Helen also contributed to the best-selling book Hospitable Hosts 2 and co-hosts the podcast Wed & Bed. She lives with her family and two dogs in what was once Brookledge’s nurse’s office, embracing camp life every day.
