➳ Did you always know that you wanted to manage a Wedding + function venue? Leon the owner has not worked in the industry before but has proved to be a quick learner. I consult for Leon to help build the business - My name is Nicolle Toohey. I have worked in the events industry in Brisbane for over 25 years & now have my own consulting company helping new or renovated venues create a brand in what is now a very competitive industry. I found my dream job at a very young age as an events/wedding planner & have gained so much from everything I have achieved over the years.

➳ What advice would you offer to Nearly Weds who are just starting out on their search for the perfect venue? I always say the most important decision in wedding planning is who you are going to marry - if you have that decision right everything else is easy. Finding the right venue for you is a bit like finding the right partner - you will just know it suits everything you have been looking for & dreaming of for your special day.
➳ Tell us about the best part about what you do: Everything! My job gives me flexibility, creativity, socialising, challenges & everything in-between. No day is the same which I love. Seeing couples put their trust in you to help them create their one off dream event is a huge privilege I take very seriously. I have many couples who have seen their dream day come true because of a trusted team of people working with them to make what can sometimes feel overwhelming an enjoyable process.
