LAGUNA NIGUEL

APRIL 2026

The Ritz - Carlton

Perched atop the breathtaking bluffs of The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Kindred Collective brought together an intimate gathering of some of the wedding industry’s most respected planners, photographers, and filmmakers, all surrounded by sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The beautiful California weather and relaxed coastal setting created an atmosphere where meaningful conversations unfolded naturally, from intentionally curated one on one meetings to small group discussions held overlooking the ocean and poolside. Every space was designed to encourage authentic connection, allowing attendees to build relationships in a setting that felt both elevated and personal.
Every detail of the experience reflected the thoughtfulness behind Kindred. The event concluded with a signature dinner featuring a custom tablescape unlike anything seen before, where circular and serpentine tables flowed together in a pearl and wave inspired design that echoed the coastline

“I had an amazing time and loved the one-on-one format. I’ve been to several other industry events, but what stood out to me about Kindred is how intimate it feels
