Hi, meet Ian, Paul & Shannon
Your original venue helpers
It was in the lobby area at the Wedding MBA in 2019, where Shannon Tarrant, Ian Jose Ramirez, and Paul Pettie crossed paths. During a casual chat, they quickly discovered a shared passion for teaching, connecting, and elevating wedding and event pros. Little did they know that this meet-up would be the catalyst for a remarkable collaboration.
During the conference, they realized that there was a noticeable industry-wide gap when it came to providing individual support for wedding venues.
Where was the centralized platform to access the help and knowledge needed for a venue to thrive in our current competitive market?
Motivated by our own experiences in venue management and ownership, we decided to bridge the gap and create a resource hub specifically designed for wedding venues.
Our goal is to cultivate a community where event & wedding venues can connect, learn from each other, and access both the tools and expertise needed to grow their businesses.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
to help wedding and event venues thrive and flourish!
We are your dedicated allies, committed to providing comprehensive solutions that drive sales growth, attract high-quality leads, and streamline your operations for maximum efficiency.
