Hotel and Registration Fees
Regular Registration: $85 per couple (through February 8th)

All registration fees are non-refundable.
Registration Fees include and help cover the cost of: three meals (Friday night dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch), entertainment, speaker honorariums, conference room rental, etc. It is our hope that we can keep registration fees minimal each year. Friends Counseling Center, along with the Friends Church, hold different fundraisers each year to go towards the costs of the marriage retreat so we can keep this event affordable.
Hotel Accommodations and Fees: We have a group contracted rate of $113.00 per night (plus taxes). We will reserve your hotel room upon receiving your registration. Each couple will pay for their hotel room upon their arrival to the hotel.
