In this episode, Tirzah interviews Kelly Ewell, owner of 48 Fields in Virginia. They delve into the complexities of running a business, focusing on the challenges of obtaining permits, staffing issues, and navigating various difficulties while exploring future opportunities. Tirzah and Kelly "nerd out" about barns and the renovation process. Additionally, Kelly shares wisdom about her management style and how she handles relationships with vendors. Also, listen to find out the fun way Kelly has some fun while having a high-stress job! Kelly Ewell is the owner of 48 Fields, a century-old farm estate set in the heart of Virginia wine country. The venue focuses on working with couples who want to give their guests a relaxed but thoughtful countryside wedding experience. Having previously been a wedding photographer for 10 years, Kelly has experienced a lot when it comes to weddings – from the highs of seeing a surprise return of a loved one from deployment to the lows of no-show vendors and dropped cakes. She can pin a boutonniere in record time, is a master of logistics, and still tears up every time a bride walks down the aisle. Especially if it's to the classic Canon in D. Played by a string quartet. When she’s not involved in all things weddings, Kelly can be found visiting local wineries with her husband, Steve, or on the ice practicing with her figure skating team. @48fields www.48fields.com www.tirzahcaffee.com @venuesuccesspodcast To apply to be on the podcast: email [email protected]
