About Our Guest:

Lindsay works directly with wedding venue owners to demystify the process of running a profitable, sustainable wedding venue and puts owners on the path to a business that works for them, not the other way around. Her favorite people to work with are the kind wearing dirty (but reliable) boots—farmers, ranchers, & other people who can confidently ride a horse. If you’re the type who likes to look off over the horizon & not see your neighbors … she’s all in.

Since 2016, Lindsay’s helped more than 700 venue owners secure funding, scale for sustainable growth, and everything in between. Her portfolio of clients includes venue properties accounting for more than $46M in revenue over the last 6 years.

She is also a wife, mom, and a sweet-tea addict.

When she’s not in the office or running carpool, you can find Lindsay daydreaming about walking the rows of dahlias at Floret Flower Farm, or how she’d turn Yellowstone Ranch into Beth Dutton’s most virtuous business venture.
