Maggie Sottero to Host Harrogate Stylist Summit 2026

For Maggie Sottero, creating exceptional bridal experiences begins long before a bride steps into the fitting room. It begins with investing in the people who make that moment possible.

Following the success of Maggie Sottero’s first Stylist Summit in Salt Lake City earlier this year, the brand is expanding the experience internationally with the Harrogate Stylist Summit. Hosted by its award-winning Customer Success team, the complimentary two-day educational experience will take place September 15–16, 2026, at the Majestic Hotel & Spa in Harrogate, immediately following Bridal Week Harrogate.

Inspired by the company’s Headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by the mountains that fuel Maggie Sottero’s creativity and growth, the Stylist Summit was created as an opportunity for boutiques to gather at the “peak” of learning, connection, and collaboration. More than a training event, Summit brings together hands-on workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and unique strategies designed to help bridal professionals elevate their businesses.

Designed exclusively for Maggie Sottero Authorized Stockists across the UK and Europe, Summit reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to serving as more than a bridal designer. Going beyond collections, Maggie Sottero continues to invest in win-win partnerships by providing Stylists with the skills, confidence, and resources needed to thrive in an evolving retail landscape. Built with its global retailer network in mind, the Harrogate Summit has been thoughtfully adapted to support the unique needs of UK and European Boutiques. By hosting the event immediately after Harrogate Bridal Week, Maggie Sottero makes it easier for Retailers already attending market to continue investing in their teams.

Day One focuses on the Bridal Stylist, with interactive workshops covering:

• Harness Your Stylist Persona
• Consult with Confidence
• Build Your Stylist Brand
• Overcoming Objections

The day concludes with an evening of dining and networking, bringing together bridal professionals to share ideas, strengthen connections, and learn from one another. Day two shifts to Boutique Owners and Leaders, exploring strategies for business development through sessions including:

• Elevate Your Marketing
• Using AI to Drive Growth
• Training and Team Building
• Delivering Exceptional Service

Maggie Sottero continues to strengthen a global community of professionals who inspire one another and raise the standard of bridal service together. The company looks forward to welcoming its UK and European partners to Harrogate this September for two days of learning, connection, and collaboration designed to empower boutiques for the season ahead.
