I'm just now getting to listen to the Venue Business Boot Camp! It is very personable and helpful! I feel like I could pick up the phone and talk to you or Meredith if I had specific questions. So that's an amazing quality for Here Comes The Guide that I don't get from other providers. I feel like you all really care about us as a venue—and that means a lot to me!
I have been working my way through your modules, and I want to say thanks so much! I started booking weddings at our venue about a year or so after Here Comes The Guide started, so I was skeptical I could learn something new. Boy, was I wrong! I am in the process of re-doing our website, so your modules were so well timed. Hoping I will be a good example of all your expertise.
I have devoured the Wedding Venue Boot Camp episodes. I have all the sheets printed out and I have started changing verbiage on everything. This is my biggest thank you area. I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts, listening to audible books, or watching sales videos. However, in just 5 episodes I have gotten more actionable items than I have in the last year of all of those things COMBINED. I cannot describe how blown away I am to have this information and have even found that it has lit the wedding fire inside me again.
Let us help whip your venue into the best shape of its life.
