We had the good fortune of connecting with Christiana Bertolucci and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christiana, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Coming from a large Greek family that was very tight knit, I experienced a house always full and a door always open. Our home was replete with laughter, food, and people I loved. Important life moments with people I loved gathered together make up a large portion of my core memories. I wanted to provide people with a space to experience their own core memories in a relaxed and amazing environment. Cultivating a unique experience brings so much joy because I know how vital these moments have been in my own life.

What should our readers know about your business?
Our venue services East Texas with an affordable property to celebrate life’s big moments. In terms of our location, we are a great mix of country and convenience. We are in the country with large trees and wide-open green spaces yet 8 minutes from Target! Also, our price point is lower than most surrounding venues, allowing those on more of a budget to still access an incredible venue and experience. I am most proud of the fact that we are willing to work within what people are able to afford; we do not have hard-set rules on using certain vendors and so forth. Creating an indelible experience for guests is the most important aspect of our business.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Eat-
Nourish ETX (fresh, healthy foods, fun unique drinks)
The Grove (cool ambiance)

Hangout-

Tyler Racket Club for some tennis

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband has been a huge help in this endeavor! He helped me take a vision and turn it into reality. He has been the literal hands that transformed this venue into what it is today. Without his partnership this venue would not be the same.
