I'm aiming to help you avoid some common pitfalls and set you up for success in the wedding industry. Because I also ran my venue as a side hustle for the first 3 years (with a newborn too!), I also was the one running all the events/sales/social media/operations and toilet cleaning before I was able to build a team and create a business that worked for me, my lifestyle, and family. Without hiring outside venue management or marketing companies taking all possibilities of a profit margin. Many people start their wedding venue ownership journey after already working in the wedding industry - as an event planning, photographer, florist, etc. But that isn't a requirement. Having an understanding of how weddings work and the key players involved is very helpful. I came to this industry after working as a project manager in the construction and IT fields - a far cry from weddings but shocking at the shared skill sets, especially when I am working on operational plans.
