Episode 39 The Upgrades, Drama & a Horse Entrance?!

Big things are happening at the venue 👀✨

We’re revealing our new ceiling mural, announcing new packages (with FREE valet options coming soon), and sharing how a Valentine’s Day 5-star restaurant experience somehow turned into a “minus 5 stars” situation 😅

And then… a quinceañera makes her grand entrance on a horse 🐎 and chandelier crystals start falling mid-event.

What really happened? How did we handle it? And what did we learn?
We’re giving you the full behind-the-scenes story.

Subscribe for real event stories, venue upgrades, and the truth about what it really takes to run an event space. 💍✨

In Episode 38 of Once Upon a Venue, we’re sharing the real behind-the-scenes of venue life, from a wild Sweet 16 with inflatable frogs 🐸 to photographer etiquette fails that had us speechless.

Plus, we debate wedding budget dilemmas (food vs. fashion, fresh vs. faux flowers), talk about why modern venues aren’t “old warehouse” spaces anymore, and read a 1,000/10 client review that made our week.

If you’ve ever planned a wedding or event, you’ll definitely relate to this one.
🎉 Real stories. Real chaos. Real venue life.

We SOLD the GOLD piano… and it made us reflect on everything. 💛

In this Valentine’s special, Michael & Amanda share how we met, the rockstar dreams we left behind, how we built The Glass Slipper Palace, and the wild event drama you don’t see behind the scenes from quinceañera ankle injuries to baile sorpresa chaos and unforgettable tacos 🌮

Four years engaged. One business. A whole journey.
Would you choose the tour life… or building an empire together? 👑✨

Are you having your Quinceanera's the old way… or leveling up with the times? 👀

In this episode, we talk about how Quinceañeras and celebrations have evolved, why old-school venues are like pagers and landlines (and we’re the iPhones), and how going above and beyond is what truly sets vendors apart.

Plus: Our photographers stepping up big time, today’s Royal Dilemma, and why simply being a good, kind vendor still wins every time.

If you’re in the event world or planning one, this episode is for you. ✨

Before you book any venue, watch this first! 👑

In Episode 35 of Once Upon A Venue, we break down the 10 most important questions every couple should ask before signing a venue contract from pricing and guest count to accessibility, vendors, parking, and cancellation policies.

Plus, our Royal Dilemma of the Day brings the laughs:
💍 Forget the rings or forget the vows?
🎤 Mic on in the bathroom or during an argument?

If you’re planning a wedding or event, this episode will save you time, money, and stress.

Don’t just book a venue... Book it smart. ✨

In Episode 34 of Once Upon A Venue, we talk about what work-life balance truly looks like as full-time venue owners, why taking time for ourselves is just as important as taking care of our clients, and how growth sometimes means learning to pause.

We recap our unforgettable New Year’s Eve wedding, how smoothly the night flowed, and even share how we used lottería to excuse tables for dinner, a simple idea that turned into a guest favorite.

We also open up about moving into a new place, the changes that come with it, and how life and business evolve together.

Plus… it wouldn’t be a royal episode without the Royal Dilemma of the Day:
👉 New royal bed… or Louboutins?

Episode 33 is our most honest episode yet!

2025 was the year we almost brok but instead built a real palace. From sold-out weekends and viral moments to late nights, tough lessons, and unforgettable celebrations, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a venue from vision to legacy.

We talk the glow-up, the grind no one sees, the moments that made it all worth it, and what’s coming next for Once Upon a Venue. Because we don’t just host event, we host life’s milestones.

✨ Dreams work when you do. And this palace exists because of you.

In Episode 32 of Once Upon A Venue, we break down the highs and lows of venue ownership, from hosting our first holiday party packed with dancing, drinks, and unforgettable moments, to dealing with rude, time-wasting clients and why respecting people’s time matters.

We also dive into a fun Royal Dilemma, talk about the power of honesty in business and life, and end with a 5-star client review that reminds us why we do what we do.

Real stories. Real lessons. Real venue life. 👑✨
