- Today I'm sharing the screen with Venue Owner & Atlanta Elopement Wedding Planner, Bonnie Hawthorne. Where I'm picking Bonnie's brain about the challenges involved in owning and operating a venue and what to look out for before diving into.
Bonnie also shares her #1 tip for having a successful event venue and why even though it's not always glamorous, it can still be rewarding.
If you're thinking about starting a venue or just need some tips on how to get more bookings for your existing venue, Bonnie is definitely the person to check out.

I got a venue , did over 100 shows in 2 years !
Wow!! Congratulations... that's amazing. How many ppl does your venue hold if you don't mind me asking?
Congratulations
Christian Ceazer uou able to help me with a business plan or a somewhat copy of yours?
Congrats!
How can I contact you ?
This was very informative. She is definitely right about about the codes. I had to do a ton of research before having my first event but I loved it.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been looking to start a business and I believe this is where I can make a name for myself
Good luck!
I loved how she said having a small venue is not overwhelming and affordable to alot of people. Looking to purchase land in Alabama after my military retirement in 2-3 years. Thanks for sharing and I've already reached out to Bonnie and subscribed to her newsletters and emails 💙💜❤🙏🏿
Bonnie is amazing!!
Thank you for sharing! We currently own a restaurant franchise. A venue business is the next logical step for us. A little more challenging than a restaurant but with even greater rewards! We plan to buy a commercially zoned property since living where you own your business is one of the smartest investments. Subscribed!
Fantastic!
This answered so many questions for me. Thank you for the shared knowledge.
Happy to hear that! And she just scratched the surface.
This was extremely helpful information for someone who wants to start out. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
All the answers are general but I was nice to virtually meet Bonnie. She is inspiration!
If you connect with her she can provide more details for sure :-)
Excellent Hosting, Interview and Education.
Hope you learned something!
Bonnie is awesome ! Can't wait til I can get my venue she's so informative!
Can't wait!
This channel 👌
Such valuable, informative content! I hope to use your services when the timing is right for me!
I look forward to working with you
I am currently renting tables, chairs, tents, linen, props, setting up dessert tables for all occasions, and more to afford a venue next year. I have been documenting it on my TH-cam channel. It's hard work, but I know it will pay off in the end.
Sounds great!
Thank you for this video. So glad I found this. This is timely and much appreciated.
Be sure to grab the eBook!
Thank you for this useful knowledge!
My pleasure!
Great insights! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I own 18 acres, all cleared land. Its 11 miles from North Myrtle Beach SC. I have seriously been thinking about doing a wedding venue business after I retire from the Military in 5 years. Would love to connect with someone about this.
Bonnie's contact information is listed in the video description
That would be nice
Congrats Chance! We're almost in the same boat. I'm in Alabama and plan to retire from the military in 2 years and want to start a venue out here near the base
Go to the county, check zoning first! Then find out about noise ordinances and I would run a simple test by getting a Db meter, play a stereo at a know Db from the proposed location then drive to your nearest neighbor and take a reading. I would use a starting Db of 120.
I see this comment was a year ago - I'd love to know where you're at with this!
This is exactly what I've been looking for!!!
Amazing!

I’m debating buying a property and starting a venue.
Let us know how it goes
Good video would like more tips like start-up cost.
Try reaching out to her Greta and I'm sure she can offer more details on cost.
🔥landed🔥
Thanks for watching!
I didn't know about the alcohol 😲 my family and friends sometimes use my house for bday party or any party.. they bring alcohol or we offer alcohol.. whoaw😓 i need to watch out
You'd be surprised how many regulations we are not aware of 🤦🏾♀️
Good to know about the insurance
So important
I need more info! This was great but I need someone to hold my hand and help me. LOL. Thank you for this.
Definitely reach out to Bonnie she offers coaching for venue owners
I would love to assist you. You may contact me through my website. www.bonnierhawthorne.com
Same!!! Like what’s the very first step
My parents once looked into this idea for a business, and I'm starting to like the idea too. Not to mention that we already have empty land to build on; it would be a matter of zoning and having the money to build at this point, and whether my family would be willing to do this.
The biggest difference between their idea and my idea would be that I'd desire a ballroom-style space with a stage (nothing overly fancy). I have a special place in my heart for the performing arts and I would like something that could also double as a performance venue; this would also make the facility more flexible. I'd probably want to start with the ballroom and stage combination, with restrooms and a small backstage dressing room, but make the facility expandable (upon becoming profitable) and later add an on-site kitchen (though perhaps I need to start with this from the get-go?), group breakout rooms, a more sophisticated lighting/sound/projection system, and perhaps retractable seating (to allow for a more auditorium-style setup for performances).
Thanks for sharing this. You should definitely setup a call with Bonnie. She would be able to provide more guidance.
Very nice video
Thanks

Definitely connect with Bonnie

You look beautiful by the way
Oh thank you!
For years I have been utilizing other people's venues to host events for free then right before covid I was supposed to open my own spot then covered head. And I didn't have the money I will find beautiful spaces and never had the funding now I had the funding and now I can't find any spaces especially spaces that are accommodating with pricing because now a lot of people are price gouging which is sad but I'll get one
Thanks for dropping in!
Do you know if 1 restroom would be ok for an event space thats 1200 sq ft?
I would visit Bonnie's website.
My venue is 1500 square ft and I have one bathroom and it’s never created a problem.
Did not find the information for the lady you interviewed.
Bonnie Hawthorne. Look her up
This is more like “tips” on running an event venue not how to start one. Appreciate the video 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
What CRM are you using?
Dubsado
We have an event venue in Cincinnati. Can I call you tomorrow about your service. I need to turn our clicks into sales . David Gordon david@sugarspicespa.com
@@mikalevans1 For sure! Have you tried reaching out to Bonnie?
HoneyBook,
How do you create contracts for when your clients pay you? Or if they want a payment plan and when you require a deposit? Do we have to see an attorney for that or can we create our own contract?
I have the same question
Have you tried connecting with Bonnie?
FALLOW neodaviso on Instagram he has a course on this space rental business and a mentorship .
@@missiontogetrich2163 I literally just finished it. I had lots of unanswered questions
@@Theemichelleyvonne lol

All her contact information is listed in the description
I wanna own a venue. It could help me have unlimited income for my npo
I just dont know how to get the chairs and tables. And building.
I wanna get a skoolie and convert it intoan rv to save money on living cost.
I was thinking bout starting off with a party bus then raising money for the venue space.
I dont know.where to begin
Leasing someone else’s space can be an option, until you can buy your own.
Have you tried connecting with Bonnie?
