In this week's video, our host Jonathan Aymin sits down with venue owner Elizabeth Lang to discuss her process and experience with buying an existing wedding venue,  how venue ownership aligned with her family goals, and her experience with building a team and scheduling staff in a way that supports balance and doesn't lead to burnout.

About Our Guest:

Welcome to Hawthorne House, a sprawling 11 acres venue in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri. The property which boasts an outdoor and indoor ceremony location onsite and the original farmhouse turned dressing suite is the perfect concoction for your start to forever.

This timeless estate was designed and built just for couples! With an easy to understand process and a straightforward approach, each package is designed to provide couples with all the details and support to have a flawless wedding.

Elizabeth Lang has been in the hospitality industry for many years doing everything from nonprofit corporate event planning to floral design and coordination. When Hawthore house fell into her lap in 2018, she and her husband jumped in full time as owner operators! Their venue was originally built in 1997, and had been hosting weddings for over 25 years before she and her husband began their entrepreneurial journey.
