    Ep. 27: Buying a Wedding Venue with Bec and Kelly from Mint Springs Farm

    Welcome back for another episode of Just Another Biz Podcast! Today Kari and Gabby are chatting with the owners of Mint Springs Farm, a wedding venue just outside of Nashville that Bec and Kelly recently acquired. We know a lot of wedding pros think about venue ownership as the logical next step in their wedding career so we thought we would ask these gals all about their experience. Before we dive in, let us tell you a little about our guests today:Bec Broaddus was literally born into events—her dad was working an event when her mom went into labor! A Nashville native, she spent 12 years at G Catering, managing over 3,000 events and a staff of 150. From weddings to music award shows, Bec has done it all. She loves designing events, staying organized, and unwinding at Orange Theory. Fun fact: she was in the Hannah Montana movie! Her drink of choice? A bourbon neat or French 75. Kelly got her start in events at 18, working high-profile Cape Cod weddings, including for the Kennedy family. With a Hospitality Event Management degree, she set her sights on major cities and moved to Nashville in 2015. Since then, she’s worked on over 350 weddings, plus A-list events like the CMA Artist of the Year Awards. Now a business owner and new mom, Kelly loves hot yoga, New England sports, and a good glass of wine.   Thanks for tuning into today as we chat with Bec and Kelly about their story, how they acquired Mint Springs Farm and their why for running their wedding venue. You can find them on Instagram @mintspringsfarm or on their website to connect! Enjoy Jabbers!    ----    Thanks for being with us today Jabbers!  Website Instagram for the Pod Instagram for Kari Instagram for Gabby

    Ep. 24: Streamlining Your Wedding Biz with Plann Well with Adriel Nutter

    Hey Jabbers welcome to season 2 of Just Another Biz Podcast! This season we’re diving into sales, marketing, strategy and even health tips for all you wedding pros out there. We’re so grateful that you’ve been a part of our first year of podcasting and have loved seeing the reviews and feedback so far. As always please let us know what you want to hear more of and how we can make this podcast even better in season 2 and beyond   Now to today’s episode with our special guest Adriel Nutter from Plann Well. More about Plann Well below:  Solely for Event Professionals: This website/platform is a resource for wedding/event professionals to come together in a space where they can share information and leave reviews, etc. that they may otherwise not want to give potential couples access to! Vendor to Vendor Reviews: This builds rapport among vendors and promotes relationships among wedding markets. Real-Time Availability Calendars: Most vendors are unwilling to share their availability calendars with potential couples but, when polled, all vendors were willing to share their availability with Planners and other fellow vendors. This allows Planners, or other event pros. to search by date for vendors eliminating the time consuming back and forth of "Are you available?" emails and the overall lag time waiting for responses. This also eliminates the wasted time of vendors receiving inquiries for dates they are already booked. Most importantly, this generates business for small businesses with small marketing budgets.  Affordable: PlannWell.com is completely free for Event Planners and priced below $40/month for all other Event Professionals.   With over 17 years of experience in the event industry, Adriel has done it all— from corporate events to non-profits and eventually breaking into the wedding world. She’s planned over 200 weddings and worked every angle of the industry, from catering and bartending to venue coordinating and even as a bride herself. A Texan at heart, now calling South Carolina home by way of Nashville, Adriel has seen the South in all its beautiful glory. Her passion for finding efficient systems led her to create Plann Well, a platform designed to save event planners and vendors time and help them focus on profitability instead of endless email chains. When she’s not busy planning events as the owner of Sutlan + Co., you can find her soaking up the sunshine, indulging in tacos, chocolate, and peaches, or dreaming of the Caribbean.   We hope you enjoy today's episode of season 2 of Just Another Biz Podcast and wedding pros, don't forget to check out Plann Well and get signed up today!
