I want to see a wedding industry where sustainability and commercial success go hand in hand, helping venues build stronger, more resilient businesses while making positive choices for the future. Sustainability shouldn’t just be the right thing to do; it should make good business sense, too. I’ve seen this work beautifully throughout my career.
