What our clients have said
"The Women’s Wellness Retreat was a transformative experience for me.
I left feeling deeply rested and refreshed - something I hadn’t realized just how much I needed. The connections I made with so many inspiring women were priceless. It was such a gift to share stories, laughter, and meaningful moments with them. I also learned so much about myself, from embracing vulnerability to discovering new ways to prioritize my well-being."

I was blown away at the level of lavishness and detail that has gone into these JV retreats. It is always a stunning location and elevated classes, food and events. The people who attend are always welcoming whether I am arriving solo or with a friend. I have made so many connections! These are the definition of luxury retreats.

I would highly recommend working with JV Ventures. From the very beginning of the planning process, Jacquie Verenka was hands-on and fully committed to ensuring that every need of her group participants and coaches was thoughtfully met.
She consistently went above and beyond—taking the initiative to research opportunities such as supplemental grant funding, donations, and giveaways to elevate the overall experience and impact of the event.
Jacquie’s passion for the wellness and retreat industry is evident in every aspect of how she shows up for her groups. She also collaborates seamlessly with venue staff and event managers, demonstrating a clear understanding of protocols and operational requirements, which makes the entire planning process smooth and professional.
Working with Jacquie was a pleasure, and I look forward to any opportunity to partner with JV Ventures again in the future.

"The most incredible experience that has impacted me."
– Petra Korbay
"Hi Jacquie - from one of the retreat 'besties' to another - the experience during the November 8-10, 2024 women's wellness retreat was simply unbelievable! I, along with many of my women warriors, were on a journey (our 1st journey, it turned out) and we were open to the possibilities, not even knowing what that meant.
We came with open arms, hearts, and spirits. You and your collective team did wonders to make the experience one for the 'record books'.
I am thankful for the different offerings you presented during our event and grateful for all the ladies, including you, that I consider to be part of my 'sister'hood (I need to get used to hearing the words 'hey sister' when I'm walking to my car - shout out to Jody for that one!).
I look forward to staying connected to my 'sisters' and continuing along life's journey hand-in-hand and spirit-in-spirit with those who I have serendipitously met during this part of my journey.
I look forward to seeing JV Ventures grow and prosper - here's to one hand-written note writer to another - great job and THANK YOU!! All the very best and continued success. Take good care and until next time..."I GOT YOU...WE GOT US!"
