What is it exactly?

A boutique-style conference built for the incredible souls behind the weddings — for those craving deeper connection, inspiration, and confidence.

Founded by a wedding pro who gets it (hey, I'm Christy 👋), Collective Vow is a space to:
🌿 Reflect on your journey
🌿 Reconnect with your creativity
🌿 Realign with your purpose

Expect keynote speakers that light a fire in your soul, honest conversations that feel like a breath of fresh air, and intentional moments that remind you why you do what you do.

Still not sure? Let’s break it down:

  • Any creative in the wedding industry. New or a veteran! Literally for a pro who craves inspiration on a personal level and professional.

  • At Collective Vow, you’ll be wrapped with intention — from swag bag items to a beautiful boujie lunch worthy of your Pinterest board. A personalized gift made just for you, impactful breakout sessions, and ending the day with a happy hour to decompress and cheers.


    Oh — and if I could pass out a puppy at the end to each of you, just know that I would. ;)

  • Early bird tickets are $517. Price increase hits in August to $577! You receive special attendee pricing at the event for the following year!

  • Honestly, it’s hard to explain. This really isn’t like other conferences in a way that there is focus on YOU as a person, more so than the business owner. You just have to come see for yourself… or, take words from others below!

  • Two women hugging and smiling at a coffee shop counter with disposable coffee cups and coffee machines in the background.

    " I feel so inspired and overwhelmed, but in a good way! So many pages of notes!"

  • Two women engaging in conversation at an event, one facing the camera with curly hair, wearing sunglasses on her head, a black jacket, and black-and-white striped pants, with a name badge that reads 'Morghann Bays'.

    "networking, lunch and open communication as a group was so refreshing."

Collective Vow Wedding Conference Columbus Ohio

You are more than a vendor. You’re a visionary.

Hi, I’m Christy — designer, dreamer, and founder of Collective Vow.
For over 12 years, I poured my heart into custom invitations through The Paper Vow. But over time, I started to crave more — deeper conversations, real connection, and a space to grow beyond just the next booking.

Working in the wedding industry, I saw firsthand the passion and grit behind the scenes — incredible creatives giving their all for other people’s biggest days. I realized how often we celebrate others, but rarely pause to celebrate ourselves.

That’s why Collective Vow was born.
It’s more than a workshop — it’s a space to reflect, connect, and reignite your why. Because when we invest in ourselves, everything else follows, even on a personal level juggling ALL the things (cue small kiddos over there ;))

You give so much—this is where you receive.

The sweatshirt on the woman facing the camera reads 'in my wedding expert era,' and the one on the back features a cake, cake topper, and other wedding-themed graphics with the same phrase.

Oh, other goodies…

Okay, I couldn’t resist having a shirt made for our fab industry, so I asked Kelsey Haver to design a stamp (nod to my amazing stationers…) but truly hope we run into each other wearing these on our off days ;)
