The Curated By Perspective

In real estate, rarely do people directly approach a seller and coordinate their own purchase agreement.

HAVING a private room and EXCELLING at events are two very different things.

Most venues will never tell you that. So I will.

Most people assume the numbers a venue sends over are the numbers. A minimum spend, a room rental, a package rate. Fixed, non-negotiable, take it or leave it.

They’re almost never that simple.

Finding a venue for a private event sounds straightforward until you’re actually doing it.

Thinking about starting your own business?

Here are 3 things I learned in my first year that may be helpful before you decide to make the jump.

Consistency in hospitality and why showing up on the days you don’t feel like it is often the work that matters most.

A reflection on the value of free service in hospitality and the long game of building trust.

How too many event menu options can slow decisions and why clearer guidance often leads to faster bookings.

How the digital world has reshaped dining expectations and why the pressure on restaurants has never been higher.

It is not about blame, but about recognizing that in a world where everything can be previewed, the feeling of being truly taken care of is what still matters most.

Agency in hospitality and the role of alignment between clients and venues.

Where’s the line?
