Venue Consulting

Your venue, run the way a planner would run it.

One week on site. One clear operating plan. AI employees to carry it forward.

Why Me

I know your venue from the other side

I have spent more than twenty years in hospitality, from resort management and wine education to planning and coordinating weddings at inns, barns, estates, and tented fields across New England. I know every venue as the planner walking it with a couple, the coordinator loading in at dawn, and the person answering for it when something goes wrong. Now I bring that view to venue owners.

Who I Work With

Three kinds of venues

Structured venues

Carriage houses, inns, estates, and event buildings ready to book better and run smoother.

Barns

Seasonal venues that need a real heating plan, a stronger shoulder season, and safe, comfortable guests in any weather.

Private properties

Landowners who want to host tented weddings and need to know exactly what their land requires before saying yes.

How It Works

Four steps

1

Intake

You complete my venue questionnaire and share your documents.

2

A week on site

I work in the space, walk it the way couples, caterers, bands, and guests will, and observe an event if one is on the calendar.

3

Your Venue Operating Plan

Pricing, contracts and policies, vendor program, ceremony site, band and DJ floor plans, rentals, infrastructure, safety and emergency planning, and a 90-day roadmap.

4

AI Employee Install

Optional. AI employees for inquiries, contracts, deadlines, vendor paperwork, and reviews, with your staff trained to use them.

What You Walk Away With

Faster bookings. Written policies that protect you.

Vendors who know where to go. A safety plan for the worst night. And more of your time back.

See It in Motion
