Starting a venue alone? Check out these resources…

Starting a wedding venue alone can feel like a mountain of decisions, questions, and laptop time—with no team to lean on and no blueprint to follow.

When I asked, “What’s your #1 challenge when it comes to launching a venue?” someone responded:

“Starting ALONE with no one around me who can help or provide guidance or knowledge.”

And honestly? That’s more common than you’d think.

Because starting anything is hard—but starting a wedding venue alone? That’s a whole new level of challenge. You’ve got to think about:

  • Location
  • Funding
  • Building
  • Hiring
  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • And figuring it all out… mostly solo 💻

It’s a lot. But here’s the truth:

➡️ You don’t have to start your wedding venue by yourself.

To support those of you starting your venue alone, I’ve pulled together a short-and-sweet resource roundup. It includes free and paid tools to help you along the way.

I hope these help you feel a little less alone—and a lot more prepared to build the dream.
