Venue Mentor

I give Chelsea 5 stars because she’s helped me so much. From our very first consultation call, she shared valuable insights that immediately helped me see ways to improve my business. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. Chelsea helped me make sense of how things were running behind the scenes and guided me in refining key areas that will sustain my business long term. She also helped me organize my automations and improve my website, which has made a big difference in my representation. I truly appreciate her support and expertise. She’s been an amazing mentor!

Working with Chelsea from Venue Mentor has been an absolute game-changer. We’ve partnered on a mutual client, a wedding venue in New Jersey, and I’ve seen firsthand the level of professionalism, care, and industry knowledge she brings to the table. Chelsea understands what it takes to build a brand that truly sells, and her approach to streamlining operations is both practical and effective. Her consulting services are tailored, actionable, and incredibly valuable to any venue owner looking to grow. From branding to systems and everything in between, Venue Mentor is the real deal. Highly recommend for anyone in the hospitality or wedding venue space who wants to take their business to the next level.

Chelsea is one of the most intentional and detail oriented vendors I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside. As the owner of a wedding planning company, we have experienced so many different venues over the years and unfortunately, not all are positive. That has never been the case when working with Chelsea and her team and I am sure that it is hugely due to her level of care when it comes to training and implementing SOPs within her business. I would recommend working with her again and again!

Chelsea is incredibly experienced when it comes to operating venues. Under her mentorship, I learned about venue maintenance, creating memorable guest experiences, and finding ways to grow all within the same four walls, while staying ahead of industry trends. No matter where your venue is in its journey, whether brand new or well-established, I’d definitely recommend leaning on her expertise. Her creativity and passion for the events industry are evident and can elevate your business to heights you never thought were possible.

Chelsea’s venue mentor class is an absolute game-changer! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so generous with her insights and experience. Every session is packed with practical tips, industry wisdom, and encouragement that makes you feel confident and equipped to move forward. If you're in the venue world, her class is a must. So grateful for the clarity and inspiration I’ve gained from learning with her!

Working with Chelsea is always a top-notch experience. She runs her venue with professionalism, heart, and an unmatched level of support for her vendors. She’s not only a gracious host but also a true resource for anyone opening or operating a venue, her insight on planning the space and executing smooth events is invaluable. From vendor logistics to guest experience, she thinks of everything and makes everyone’s job easier. A true gem in this industry!

We've worked with Chelsea and her team for years and can't recommend them highly enough. She's insightful, easy to work with, friendly, and powerfully motivating. She's the exact blend of detail oriented, data driven, and supportive in all the right ways, that you want to connect with to help you meet your goals. She's helped us to continue to grow our business, reach the right kinds of customers, and continue to develop all the elements of a successful business in a long-term and strategic way. Venue Mentor will help you grow your business and you couldn't find a better mentor than Chelsea and her team.

5 stars isn't enough for Chelsea and her venue operations! I am the owner of Under the Oak Catering and the new venue Landon Estate. Honestly, we owe a great deal of our success solely to her! She opened the Maxwell shortly after we started getting noticed as a great caterer in the Triangle area. My wife and I met with her and discussed our ethos and vision for growth. We immediately appreciated her attention to detail and the level of hospitality they offered at the Maxwell and knew she had something special. And she certainly does now! It's been an incredible watching her evolve this venue. Starting out, it already was one of the most organized, clean, well thought out venue layouts we had ever worked in. Every detail had a purpose, nothing an after thought. You would have thought that they had been in business 10 years the first time you worked there. Then we met the team she built and the hospitality she instilled in them. Unmatched anywhere in the Triangle and still is to this day. Her staff is extremely hard working and friendly, always on point and ready to help. And as a venue owner, she's does such a great job during the week and with her team, she doesn't have to work the events (everyone's goal in this game!) She continues to evolve with new trends, pushes new ideas, but also maintains the highest caliber of service and care throughout. Her venue guidance has been so helpful and appreciated as we built Landon Estate. Since we were already in the industry, I thought this would be easy...... It's not..... at all! Even for a seasoned professional like me, who thinks they know everything, BAHAHAHAHA! Well we sure didn't and it has cost us thousands of $$$$. So many unknowns going into a project like this, I wish I would have seaked her guidance sooner! I truly cannot speak highly enough about Chelsea and how she runs her venue and consulting business. If you are looking to open a venue or just need to figure out what they hell your doing.... call her! We appreciate you so much Chelsea!!!

Chelsea is a very knowledgeable venue consultant and helped with our team take things to the next level when it comes to venue management for our growing wedding venue. We would highly recommend hiring her!
