#weddingvenue In this business idea breakdown, I evaluate a Wedding Venue. I gave this business a 9.2 out of 10 because the only negative of this business is the high capital requirement. I graded this business on the following categories:

Ability to Scale: This business scales itself. In the beginning your prices may be lower, but after filling up your schedule year over year, you can start charging more and by word of mouth people will share their experience at your venue.

Is it profitable? This business is super profitable because the real estate that you purchase goes up in value. Essentially this business is like buying an apartment complex. Your tenants (weddings) pay for your building or loan. With the average weekly rental income being over $10K, this business is very profitable.

Is it easy to start? Yes, if you have the capital this business can be easily started. From researching the event venue space, it seems like the event community openly shares their experiences and lessons they have learned.

Does it require a lot of time? Yes and no. Depending on if you hire staff this can be a minimal time requirement to a semi-full time job if you manage the venue on your own with limited staff.

Challenges: As with every business, getting weddings to rent the venue will be the biggest challenge in the first couple of years. After you get past the initial weddings, this venue will sell itself from the people who attend weddings and talk about it.

Is it sellable: Yes! Since real estate is a component of this business, the real estate can be sold at probably a gain. The cashflow (profit) can be sold for 3-4X. This is a great business to sell.

Overall, if you have capital, this is a great business to park it.
