VBBC: Born from Challenge & Innovation
When the wedding industry came to a standstill in 2020, our CEO Meredith Monday Schwartz saw an opportunity as a wedding venue consultant to help venues emerge stronger. Drawing on our decades of experience, we created the Venue Business Boot Camp as a gift to our venue partners.
What started as a crisis response evolved into something bigger. Venues found such value in the training that we've made it an ongoing, comprehensive resource. The Venue Business Boot Camp combines our unique industry perspective, venue success stories, and direct feedback from couples into actionable strategies for venue growth.
Today, this program continues to help venues adapt, innovate, and thrive in an ever-changing industry. Because we believe that challenges create opportunities for transformation.
Cheers to your success,
I've spent 27+ years as CEO of Here Comes The Guide obsessing over one thing: helping wedding venues find their superpowers. I can spot what makes a venue special from a mile away—and I'm pretty darn good at turning their biggest "ugh, we hate this" into their most magnetic selling point.
Marketing your venue doesn't have to be complicated. Through our Venue Business Boot Camp, I share what actually works—no fluff, just results you can see in your booking numbers. My all-women team and I are on a mission to transform how venues connect with couples because that creaky floor or quirky layout you're apologizing for might just be the thing your perfect couples fall in love with.
Want to know my secret sauce? It's all about being authentic. Because venues that try to be everything to everyone end up being nothing to anyone. Let's make sure the right couples find their way to your doorstep!
