I have an event center close to Baytown and have some questions to ask anyone that has run one before. Someone on the business board said there is a poster here that used to run one.

You are looking for studioone. He used to run Avalon just south of College Station.

That would be me....

email me at darrin at Avalonweddingsbcs dot com

were you ever gonna email me? Kinda curious..

there must be 50 wedding venues within 50 miles of BCS. Seems to be a new one starting every month or two.

Went to wedding at Camp Hosea in Anderson a few weekends ago. For what my brother-in-law paid for that venue, it might be worth buying some land, put up a chapel and a reception barn, and start raking in the money.

thats gotta be the stupidest idea ever.. We're INUNDATED with venues... it's why they're open for a year or two, find out how hard it is to actually deal with brides on a daily basis.. find out how little $ they actually make . then they sell off the venues as rapidly as possible..

was recently offered to buy 2 local venues... I laughed.

Yep. I have inspected probably 75 in the last few years and probably at least 10 have sinced closed down.

Oh man, I've had a bunch of stupider ideas.
