About Our Guest: 

Kelsey and Tony Tenamore's journey to opening their own wedding venue began when fate brought them together while working in the service industry at a bar/restaurant in 2012. Though their careers eventually took different paths, their shared passion for hospitality would later unite them in a new venture. Kelsey moved on to work in corporate event planning for a large medical company, gaining valuable experience in organizing large-scale events. Meanwhile, Tony continued bartending, using the opportunity to learn the inner workings of small businesses and prepare for his future entrepreneurial goals.

As Tony's bartending career progressed, regular customers began requesting his services for private events, including weddings and parties. After working several small events, Tony quickly realized there was a significant demand in the market for his expertise. This sparked the idea of starting their own business, blending Kelsey's event planning skills with Tony's knowledge of the service industry. From this, their vision for creating a wedding venue was born.
