The Venue & Studio Dream to Launch Checklist

Thinking about opening your own venue or studio but have no idea where to start?

The Venue + Studio Dream-to-Launch Checklist is an 11-page digital guide created to help you take that big idea in your head and start turning it into an actual plan.

When I started The Marigold, I knew what I wanted the space to feel like, but there were SO many things I didn’t know I needed to think about.. zoning, budgets, insurance, guest experience, pricing, booking systems, policies, branding… the list goes on.

So I created the resource I wish I had in the beginning.

Inside, we’ll walk through:

• Defining your venue or studio idea and what makes it different
• What to research before you buy or build
• Creating a realistic starting budget
• Thinking through the client and guest experience
• Setting up the business side
• Pricing and booking basics
• Preparing your brand and marketing
• Getting ready to launch
• A final Dream-to-Launch master checklist
• 
  

This guide is for anyone dreaming about opening a photography studio, content studio, micro-wedding venue, event space, greenhouse venue, or other creative rental space who just needs someone to tell them where to start.

This is not a step-by-step construction guide or a replacement for professional legal, zoning, insurance, or financial advice. Every property and business is different. Think of this as your starting point - the questions to ask, things to research, and decisions to make before you dive in.

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

An 11-page digital PDF that you can save, print, and work through at your own pace.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a digital product. No physical item will be shipped.

You don’t have to have it all figured out yet.

You just have to start somewhere. 🤍
