Hello Wedding Venue Owners! No matter where you are in your wedding venue journey a wedding consulting service may be something you need. Whether you are starting new to the wedding industry and need guidance with permits, zoning, wedding venue contracts, websites, social media, wedding venue policies, etc… I can help you start your wedding venue with access to the best tried & true strategies that I have learned over the past 10 years directly from successful wedding venue owners. If you are a seasoned wedding venue owner and need support for your thriving wedding venue, I can help with that as well. I work with wedding venue owners in all phases of their wedding venue journey. Scroll down to view the Wedding Venue Consulting, Rent The Wedding Nerd video.
I started my career working with the chamber of commerce and absolutely loved helping small business owners grow through mentoring, training, education and networking. I began working with wedding venue owners about 10 years ago and now my focus is on wedding venue owners and managers exclusively. I have toured over 800 wedding venues in 26 states in the last 10 years and close to 100 wedding venues this last year alone. I created Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacations. These are fun, exciting, wedding venue owner & manager education trips to beautiful cites all over the country. Wedding venue owners meet up and tour wedding venues, ask tons of questions and learn directly from some of the most successful wedding venue owners in the country!

The best education a venue owner can get is directly from other wedding venue owners. This is why I started the Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community on Facebook Over 4500 wedding venue owners and managers share strategies for success, offer a community over competition forum where you can find solutions for your biggest challenges. Whether you are a new venue owner or have been a venue owner for years, I highly recommend joining a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation a couple of times a year to access innovative venue strategies, to meet your colleagues for business to business connections and to get inspired by the incredible venues we get to tour.
If you need wedding venue consulting, I would love to work with you. I come to your wedding venue for an immersive and hands on wedding venue consulting experience. I research your venue thoroughly before we meet to create a custom plan based on you, your venue, your location, your challenges and successes. I feel that it must be a custom program based on your specific venue and not a cookie cutter model because every venue is so unique. I stay with you for an entire day so we can review your priorities and work together to develop a smart plan for you to reach your wedding venue goals. There are lots of wedding venue consulting options and wedding venue coaches offering services to venue owners. What sets me apart is my customized approach, I come to you to see and experience your venue through the eyes of an engaged couple and their guests. Additionally, I offer one of the most experienced and affordable wedding consulting options available. My clients have informed me that they have received proposals for $10,000 to $15,000! My consulting fees are less than a third of what others charge. This is what I do full time, wedding venues are my full-time focus. I do not run a wedding venue and fit consulting in on the side. I am an experienced business coach who understand that my way is not the only way, I bring the data & research I have compiled from hundreds of wedding venues. This way my savvy wedding venue consulting clients can decide which solutions fit their venue and operations style the best. Having a wedding venue owner consulting you offers value for sure but it could also come with one set of solutions that worked for their venue and may not be a fit for your venue. I have a select group of wedding venue owners in my network who offer consulting services and do so with a background in coaching or education. If I am not the right fit for a wedding venue I am happy to refer you to a consultant who is also a wedding venue owner and experience coach, trainer or educator. I bring this up not to diminish our amazing venue owners who offer mentoring and support one another. Providing venue to venue support is the foundation of this website and our venue owner community. That said, there are some who may be well meaning and want to offer consulting but are not able to offer a coherent program based on you and your needs. So, please, do your research before you invest in wedding venue consulting.
I use strategies that I have learned directly from successful venue owners and we – you and I – become a team working together for your success. I follow up with 6 months of Zoom meetings so we can review your goals, keep you focused, discuss challenges or delay and help you stay on track. I have lots of references to provide to you from other venue owners who trust me and have worked with me over the years. Please take your time to research the best solutions for you before you commit to spending thousands of dollars on services you may not need! After all, you are brilliant enough to own a venue and have a dream that you are pursuing. Many dream of owning a business but do not have the business intelligence required to make it happen or sustain long term success. You have accomplished a lot to get here, and I have so much respect for all that you have overcome to get this far. I am not here to make you feel like you can’t succeed without me, I am here as your biggest cheerleader, your resource to successful strategies. Please use weddingvenueowners.com for tons of great wedding venue resources. Find our Facebook group: Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community. Please plan to attend a Wedding Venue Owners Working Vacation, these are so incredibly informative and valuable! You will get to travel to an amazing city to tour wedding venues, learn from successful wedding venue owners, connect with colleagues, get educated, motivated and inspired! I would love to share your wedding venue story on WeddingVenueOwners.com, each week I try to share new venue story. Just email me and let me know if I can share your wedding journey with our community. Cheers to your incredible success! I can’t wait to meet you and hope to have the opportunity to share my knowledge with you and become part of your wedding venue team! Sincerely, Didi Russell #weddingnerd
