  • 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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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).
