It all starts with a dream of owning your own wedding venue... but then reality hits: there are endless emails, workflows to finesse, policies, and procedures to create. Keeping up with social media to attract those perfect couples, juggling the bookkeeping, cleaning, and event prep… the list really is endless sometimes.

Running a venue is a LOT OF WORK! I'm a venue owner too, so I understand how overwhelming it can be. That's why I'm here—to help you navigate the chaos and find what works for your venue, so you can focus on what really matters: creating unforgettable moments for your clients.

The journey that brought us to toda.y…

Unlocking Success: My Venue Journey

When I embarked on the journey of designing and building my own wedding venue in 2017, I quickly realized there were very few resources to guide me through the process. I had to piece together the best practices, workflows, and marketing strategies on my own. As a former wedding photographer with a decade of experience, I knew what it took to create beautiful events, but running a venue presented a whole new set of challenges. I listened to countless podcasts, attended luxury wedding planning workshops, and even leaned on my past experience in sales and marketing. But at the end of the day, it is my face, my reputation, and my overhead on the line, and that pressure is real.

The Struggle to Streamline

Building a successful venue from scratch taught me the importance of efficient processes, personalized follow-up emails, and seamless booking procedures. I discovered that every detail mattered, from the way I conducted venue tours to the consistency of my social media presence. My journey was filled with late nights and trial-and-error learning, all while juggling the business's unique demands. I longed for someone to turn to for guidance, someone who had been through the same challenges and was willing to offer practical, helpful advice.

Your Boost to Success

Venue Boost: Brand + Vision Consultant was created to be the resource that every venue owner needs when starting out or when they’re refreshing their brand. The focus is on providing expert guidance without the overwhelm, offering the kind of support that makes a real difference in building a successful venue.

If you need help streamlining your processes, crafting a social media strategy, boosting your Google visibility, or simply someone to brainstorm with, I'm here for you. I offer a range of services, from workshops to one-on-one coaching. With Venue Boost, you can expect a friendly, supportive, and common-sense approach that meets you where you are and helps you reach your venue goals. Let's work together to boost your venue's success and create a brand that stands out.

I want you to feel seen, heard, and reassured!

In my mentoring and coaching programs, the goal is to collaborate with you, not instruct you. The best outcomes are born from understanding who you are, what you dream of, and what makes your venue unique. I don't follow a rigid coaching protocol because every venue owner has different needs and aspirations.

Instead, I work alongside you, listening to your ideas, studying your market, and learning about your vision for your venue. Together, we'll explore what you want to achieve and find ways to make it happen. My flexible and adaptable approach allows us to focus on what's important to you.

When you work with me, you can expect an open and supportive environment where your voice matters. I'll offer guidance and share my experience, but I'll always put emphasis on and value your input. It's not about following a script; it's about co-creating a strategy that aligns with your goals. Let's collaborate to bring your dreams for your venue to life.

Collaborative Services to Save Your Sanity and Provide Support:

  • Consider this a friendly phone call [or Zoom meeting] where you get to "pick my brain" and ask me anything related to running your wedding venue, the wedding industry, or entrepreneurship. It's like having a trusted friend on the other end of the line—one who just happens to have 16 years of experience in the industry.

    • Personalized Guidance: In our 60-minute chat, you get tailored advice based on your unique needs. Whether it's marketing strategies, venue workflow, or tips for attracting the right couples, I'm here to provide focused insights without overwhelming you with too much information.

    • Experience-Driven Solutions: With my industry background, I offer practical solutions grounded in real-world success. You can ask me anything about running a wedding venue, and I'll share my best practices, tips, and lessons learned along the way.

    • Supportive Atmosphere: Consider this a friendly conversation with someone who genuinely wants to help. I won't turn your business upside down or pressure you into drastic changes. Instead, I'll listen, understand your challenges, and help you find the best path forward.

    • Hands-On Learning: During this workshop, you'll actively work on your follow-up process with guidance from an experienced mentor. You'll get real-time feedback and complete most of the work during the session, so you leave with tangible outcomes and minimal post-workshop tasks. Be sure to block off 2 hours on your calendar.

    • Collaborative Environment: Connect with other venue owners who share your challenges and goals. This co-working setting encourages the exchange of ideas and best practices, giving you a supportive community where you can learn from each other while developing your follow-up strategy.

    • Immediate Results: The Venue Boost Workshop is designed to deliver immediate, actionable results. You'll create a personalized follow-up process, including the first three emails, that you can implement right away. This ensures you're not just learning “fluff” but making real progress toward boosting your sales.

    • Comprehensive Approach: The Strategy Sprint covers a range of topics to help you improve all aspects of your venue business, from marketing strategies and operational workflows to social media engagement. This holistic approach ensures you're not just focused on one area, but you're advancing in multiple areas to point you in the direction of success.

    • Ongoing Support and Accountability: With monthly one-on-one sessions, you'll have consistent support and accountability to keep you on track. This structure allows for deeper exploration of your goals and challenges, providing you with clear action steps and ongoing encouragement throughout the program.

    • Structured Support with Independent Work: Throughout the 3-month Strategy Sprint, you'll have the opportunity for guided independent work. We'll provide shared spreadsheets and forms to streamline your processes, track your progress, and set future goals. This balanced approach ensures you have the structure and tools to succeed and the freedom to implement at your own pace.

    • Tailored Guidance for Lasting Success: This mentorship program provides personalized support designed to meet the specific needs of your venue. From refining processes and marketing strategies to developing a roadmap for growth, you’ll receive expert advice and hands-on guidance to help your venue thrive.

Together, we’ll navigate the challenges of venue ownership, ensuring you're equipped with the tools, strategies, and confidence to reach your goals.

    • The pricing for this service depends on the scope of the project and the desired timeline. Most clients set up weekly mentorship meetings and we work together for 3-8 months. The average spent is around $2670/month for the meetings, private calls, shared templates, and comprehensive analysis outline.
