I know this interview is very old, however you were cutting him off a lot! Great tips and insights, learn a lot about zoning and it’s very scary. My husband and I are currently searching for land to build on and it’s hard trying to figure it out by ourselves. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hi there, actually, this video is quite old (had forgotten about it). Last I heard the property was for sale and I had not followed up to find out if there is a new owner. Its a lovely property with so much potential for wedding, event, retail income. I do have some insight I am happy to share with you, [email protected]

I will say some of these things will vary tremendously not only from state to state, but county to county, and even township to township in Ohio. For instance, our property was zoned commercial, but the land owned by the airport surrounding was still zoned residential so we had different setbacks than you would have expected. We are on a state route, so a traffic study was required by the state. The state took nine months to finally approve a no left-turn in or out on the state route like we suggested originally after they first insisted on a turn lane being built at our cost. It turns out that the state route already had more traffic than it was built for, so any new business would have exceeded the number. We were fortunate enough to get a real estate tax abatement from the county, the township created a PACE district for a creative way to fund some of the property, the tourism board has reached out to us, and the county commissioners gave us a shout-out already on the radio. The part about getting to know your local politicians is spot on from all levels. Make sure you don't forget about them after you are done getting approvals.

As a new venue owner I am finding it very difficult to find a business liability policy for my LLC. I have been turned down at least 5 times with the only explanation of “we are unable to provide a quote”. No one will explain why we can’t get a policy. Is there an insurance business that is geared towards liability policies for the business itself?

Hi Didi, This is my first visit to your website. I am new to the wedding industry. I was hired six weeks ago by the Acca Shrine Center, in Richmond, Va, to manage their event rentals. For the last twenty years, I had been running a small family real estate and property management company in Richmond, Va. I was mainly renting to college students and younger people in their twenties and thirties. I love working with this age group! I was thrown into property management when my mother suffered a stroke and someone from our family needed to take over. I found a great home with the Richmond Apartment Owners/Richmond Property Owners. They were a great source of information. Everyone supported each other, whether sharing leases, recommending contractors, or updating each other on current law. I am so happy to have found you and your group. I liked to go above and beyond in support of my tenants and I look forward to doing the same with the brides and grooms that I will be working with. I look forward to learning from your group. To Amy, I am 59 and I can say that you look fantastic! The baby blue suits you. You have a lovely smile and look great on camera. Go for it.

Do most new venues take 5 years to get up and running?
@DidiRussellWeddings

In my experience it takes about two years when buying land, getting permits & approval, building, etc… When an investor purchases a residential or agricultural property and wants to turn it into a wedding venue requiring new zoning/use permits,, that is far more tricky and tends to take longer & have more risk & cost. I know of one owner that battled for 6 years to get approval for her residential property to be able to host weddings. This options just has so many unknowns, it’s not uncommon to go through the permit process for years. When an investor purchases an operating wedding venue, the new owner may pay more initially for the property but it comes (usually) with contracts on the books, permits in place, reputation & years of marketing built up. Are you going through the permit process?
