Built by venue owners, for venues
You weren't meant to figure this out alone.
The Venue Nest Community is a room full of venue owners who actually get it — the late nights, the hard seasons, the questions nobody else can answer. The podcast, the webinars, the resources, the conversations: all free, all built for you.
200+ venues already inside — asking questions, sharing wins, growing together.
A note from Ashley
Come in — let me show you around.
Two minutes on why we built this community, what lives inside it, and how the software fits in when you're ready for it.
Why we built this
Venue ownership can be incredibly isolating.
Most venue owners are doing this alone — managing events, chasing contracts, following up on leads, coordinating vendors — and most days there's nobody around who truly understands what that feels like.
We built this community because we lived it. We show up here for the same reason: venue owners deserve a place where they can be honest, ask the hard questions, and feel genuinely supported.
Inside the community
A place that finally feels like yours.
When you join, you get more than a login. Community chat forums, peer feedback, monthly events, curated resources, and free courses — all inside one portal, all built around the reality of running a venue.
The member map
Over 200 venues have joined — findable by ZIP code, so the owner who solved your problem last season is a message away. We're working on a wedding venue in all 50 states. Is yours on the map yet?
Feed & discussion
Ask the question you can't Google. Real answers from owners who've been there.
Courses & resources
A growing library of free PDFs and courses — tours, pricing, hiring, follow-up sequences, leadership.
Who it's for
If you run the place, you belong here.
Barns, estates, ballrooms, wineries, warehouses — one venue or five. Owners, managers, and the person who somehow does both.

Questions
Before you join.
Is the community really free?+
Yes. Free to join, free to stay. The forums, resources, webinars, podcast and courses cost nothing. Venue Nest software is a separate paid product you can add whenever you're ready — or never.
Do I need to use the software to be a member?+
No. Plenty of members run other systems, or none at all. The community exists to help venue owners either way.
Who's actually in here?+
Wedding and event venue owners and managers — barns, estates, ballrooms, wineries and warehouses — from first-season to multi-property. Not vendors selling to you.
How much time does it take?+
As much or as little as you have. Drop a question at midnight, listen to an episode on the mow, or come to a live session when the season allows.
How do I get in?+
Create a free account at live.venuenest.com. You'll be inside the forums and resource library in a couple of minutes.
