What clients are saying about us…
“Our retreat was a resounding success, largely due to the partnership with Lauretta and Kris at Firefly Venues. The ease of planning was remarkable, with every detail handled efficiently. The flawless and exceptional execution of the event created an environment that was both genuinely relaxed and highly productive, achieving all our objectives seamlessly. We look forward to working with Firefly Venues again in the future!”

“Paradise by Firefly Venues provided the ideal setting for our Leadership Sumner retreat. It is remarkably accessible, yet the moment you arrive, you feel completely transported, as though you’ve stepped into a private sanctuary. The thoughtful restoration pays tribute to its rich musical legacy while creating an inspiring environment designed for meaningful, focused work. What truly distinguished the experience was the team. They asked insightful questions from the outset, anticipated needs we hadn’t yet identified, and executed every detail with seamless precision. This allowed our Board to remain fully immersed in strategy and leadership development, confident that everything else was impeccably managed. We are already planning our return and have enthusiastically recommended Paradise to corporate planners, brides, and families celebrating milestone occasions.”
— Beth Pickel, Leadership Sumner Board President
I just wanted to say a few words about our experience at Paradise in November. I run events across the world in a variety of conferencing and retreat venues, but they rarely feel as welcoming and homely as this. The central kitchen felt like a shared family space with always a gentle and easy conversation flowing, and the spaces both inside and out gave us so much choice in curating an environment conducive to team and individual development. Thanks again for your hospitality and care. I hope to be back again someday.
