Talking with Marguerite Martin about launching an elopement business
Cheers to podcasts, eloping and longtime friends! Image by: Grit City Photo
Recently, I re-listened to a podcast I was on back in 2017. I was a guest of the infamous, Marguerite Martin, Tacoma Real Estate Agent and creator of Move to Tacoma. Also, full disclosure, she has been one of my BFF for 20+ years.
On the podcast, we start out by talking about why my co-eloper and I moved to Tacoma in 2014. This is the first question she asks all her guests. Then we go into how I came up with the idea for my little wedding place and some of the mental hurdles that comes along with starting a business.
It’s fun to remember how this business came together and how many people helped me along the way. Tacoma is truly an amazing community filled with creativity, kindness and that “grit” that is needed to make things happen. I am especially grateful to Spaceworks who taught me so much about being an entrepreneur and still offers professional and emotional support to me today .
You can check out the podcast* here. We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
* Please note that this podcast was recorded in 2017 so some of the wedding packages and prices have changed. For the most up to date information, check out details on our wedding package page.
