Dixie Bagley didn’t go looking for a wedding venue — it found her. In this episode, she shares the wild story of how an impulsive property visit, a personal tragedy, and a last-minute wedding turned into a life she never expected. From double-booked disasters and boundary-setting breakdowns to the high cost of keeping 36 toilets clean, Dixie gets real about what it actually takes to run a venue. This is a story of sink-or-swim moments, resilient choices, and learning to follow the spark… even when it feels like chaos.

If you’ve ever built something by accident — or by sheer force of will — this one’s for you.
