Hi, meet Ian, Paul & Shannon

Your original venue helpers

In the lobby of Wedding MBA 2018, Shannon Tarrant, Ian Ramirez, and Paul Pettie met and quickly discovered a shared passion for supporting wedding and event venues.

This chance meeting sparked a collaboration to address a clear gap: the lack of solution-focused support for wedding venues.

Where was the central platform to help venues thrive in today’s competitive market?

Motivated by their venue management and ownership experiences, they created Venue Help Desk, a resource hub for wedding venues.

The goal is to help venues attract quality customers, convert leads to bookings, and optimize their operations with vetted tools and experts needed to grow.

Our mission is simple yet powerful:

Provide comprehensive solutions that attract high-quality leads, increase sales through higher conversion rates, and optimize your operations for maximum efficiency.
