MEET YOUR EXPERT

Hi, I'm Wenna

Founder & Lead Consultant

This isn't another sales and marketing consultancy — there are plenty of those. I offer strategic, operational, and financial consulting tailored specifically to wedding venues. Whether you're launching, pivoting, or scaling, I provide hands-on expertise to streamline operations, maximise profitability, and elevate what you offer your couples.

After 10 years in corporate, I founded my own wedding venue from a plot of land — securing £350,000 in funding, scaling to £800,000 revenue within two years, and earning multiple industry awards. That first-hand experience gives me a perspective no purely theoretical consultant can offer.
