The Best Laid Brand: Lessons from a Wedding Venue Venture

This is a story based off of real life events.

In 2021, my family and I moved to Kentucky after my husband got out of the military. His dream was always to move to Kentucky. My dream was to start a wedding venue, so we found a way to make both of those come to life after his active duty time.

This episode focuses on the journey that we have been on during our time here in Kentucky bringing both of those dreams to life. Going from a very well thought out brand and a 10-year plan with all of our family involved, to closing up shop and re-evaluating our future…these last two years have been a challenge. We have faced obstacles with the county, with neighbors, with health and postpartum depression, with pivoting plans, and with the word “failure.” Never before have I told the entire story publicly, but I finally feel comfortable and confident enough to do so.

Take a peek into our lives and get the full story of The Commonwealth in this episode.
