Owning a wedding and event venue can be a rewarding experience - but are you safe when it comes to lawsuits and other potential legal issues?Justin Sutton of Nuptial joined me to talk about venues and how he helps them ensure they are doing things right when it comes to contracts, agreements, and legal entities.I think his elevator speech says it all: "We help wedding and event destinationsovercome hugechallenges."Three Takeaways:1. Prepare for the worst, because anything can happen when an open bar is involved (or not in one case...listen in to hear about a dry wedding gone wrong).2. Legal structures can be complicated and having a team of professionals can help you untangle the web of owning a wedding venue, as Justin says.3.

"You definitely need to be comfortable with your photographer" - Shelby Stewart.It all started with a hobby (obsession?) of disposable cameras. She asked for them as birthday/Christmas presents and before you knew it, they were full and on their way to Costco for printing. As a future bride herself, Shelby understands how important it is to understand how the body is photographed and she knows how to make you look your best.Per usual, we remind our couples that choosing your vendors based on personality is important. And for vendors - get specific and don't afraid to niche down. You'll find the right clients that way, especially if you're in a saturated marketplace.Shelby loves Charleston, her corgi, and obviously - photography. Book her before someone else does:https://www.shelbystewart.co/https://www.instagram.com/shelbystewartweddings/

Tracy Masterson is the "property manager" at The Vineyards at Betty's Creek, but her responsibilities on site of this beautiful 600 acre wedding venue reach farther than that. Tracy is on-site for the weddings, and plays a big role in making sure you have the best wedding weekend a couple could ask for.With on site lodging and multiple romantic spots, The Vineyards at Betty's Creek is one of the top venues in WNC for couples who want mountain views and an elevated wedding reception.

Saint Luna - Charcoal Filtered Moonshine - 100 proof - 50% ABVThis spirit is distilled from molasses and rye, and made in Statesville, North Carolina.Currently, you can find this spirit in Memphis, Chattanooga, and NYC.During our interview, I enjoyed a bartender favorite, the Negroni - made with equal parts of Saint Luna, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Stir with ice, add some bitters, and you're good to go.David suggests another cocktail made with Saint Luna - muddled green bell pepper, fresh lime juice, Saint Luna, and simple syrup. Sounds tasty! Add a jalapeño if you like some spice in your cocktail.Saint Luna is not barrel aged, but simply charcoal filtered which adds a smoky undertone. During the interview, we talk about batching signature cocktails, how David got started in the business, and what kinds of cocktails are good for Saint Luna (Lunar Mule anyone!?!)Not in one of their local markets? You can order Saint Luna and get it shipped right to your door!David has yet to visit Asheville, and I look forward to hosting him and showing him the lay of the land.Three Takeaways:Moonshine can be tasty! This spirit has historically had a bad rap, but Saint Luna is turning that around by creating an elevated spirit. No sugars/syrups are used in this moonshine - in fact, it drinks more like a tequila or white rum.I also learned something new today! Vodka can made of any sugar or grain - it just needs to be four times distilled, which removes any residual character you might get from different sugars (beets, potatoes, cane syrup, honey, etc.)Overproofing is a term used in the industry when you proof the spirit above 80 proof (or 40% ABV). Make sure to adjust your ratios when making a cocktail if you use an overproofed spirit.Visit their website to see where you can find them: https://saintlunaspirits.com/Check out their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saintlunaspirits/Also, I mention one of my favorite establishments in Asheville, The Waterbird: https://www.thewaterbirdasheville.com/Pistons & Prosecco is a wedding industry podcast hosted by Bryce Bjornson - the owner of Jack's 47.
