In this episode, join our dynamic duo as they sit down with Dawn Cornett, the visionary owner and host of Skyview Ranch in beautiful Texas. Dawn is no stranger to the hospitality game, managing an impressive portfolio of seven vacation rentals and overseeing sixteen others.

While we usually dive deep into the world of micro-weddings and how to make them spectacular, this episode takes a unique twist. We explore the art of determining the ideal event size for your property and personal preferences.

Tune in to discover valuable insights on a range of topics, including:

• The charming animals that can add a special touch to your property.

• Strategies for maximizing opportunities year-round, not just during wedding season.

• Helen's favorite wedding size and her advice on finding the perfect fit for your property and team.

• Navigating the fine line between Airbnb regulations and event rules.

• And the importance and logistics behind Certificates of Insurance.

Don't miss this episode for quick and effective tips on optimizing your OTA listing (hint: it's all about the wording) and sure-fire methods for building your brand with local vendors and the community, to ensure a steady stream of bookings for weddings and events.

The trio also takes on the age-old debate of whether to display prices on your website – is it a resounding "yes" or a cautious "no"? Share your thoughts with us!

Pro Tip: If you're venturing into event hosting at your short-term rental, make it a habit to debrief with your team after each event. This invaluable practice ensures constant improvement, providing the best possible experience for your guests and your team alike.
