Sell or Lease. You Built It, We'll Keep It Growing.

For nearly 40 years, Wedgewood Weddings & Events has been a family-owned business you can be proud to partner with. We've grown from one property in 1986 to 90+ venues coast to coast, investing our own capital, operating at scale, and turning event businesses into stress-free, income-generating assets for their owners. We don't just oversee operations from a distance; our team is hands-on in every venue we run. These conversations are always confidential. You're in control of who knows, and when.

Wouldn't it be nice to take a real vacation with your family, or stop working every weekend? If your venue hosts weddings, galas, corporate events, or other celebrations, we'll help you get there. We'll work with you to find the right path: sell outright for a generous offer, or lease long-term and retain ownership with guaranteed monthly rental income. Either way, we invest our own capital, manage daily operations, and keep the business thriving.

Ready to Sell or Lease?Let's Talk.

Whether you're looking to sell outright or keep your venue and lease it to us, we offer free consultations to figure out which path fits your goals. Let’s start the conversation now.

Two Ways to Move Forward. One Easy Decision.

There are two ways to work with us. Here's how each one works.

Selling Your Venue

Straightforward Closing Process: We move quickly once terms are agreed, so you're not stuck in limbo for months.

No Ongoing Operational Role: Once the sale closes, day-to-day operations are handled by our team.

A Team Already in Place: Because we already operate 90+ venues, there's no learning curve. Your guests experience continuity, not disruption.

A Generous Offer, Built Around Your Business: If you're already profitable, we'll pay a multiple on your existing performance. If you're facing challenges, we'll structure an offer that gets you out from under it. Either way, you walk away with a fair, well-considered price.

Leasing & Venue Management

You Keep Ownership: You retain the title to your property and lease it to us long-term instead of selling outright. We run it as our own: you get a monthly rent check, guaranteed rental income, and your weekends back.

We Invest in Your Property: Beyond day-to-day operations, we put our own capital into upkeep, updates, and improvements at the venue, at no cost to you. Your asset gets better over time, not just occupied.

We Operate: Our team runs the venue exactly as we would if we owned it, including events, staffing, marketing, and day-to-day logistics. We are experts in this business, understand what today's clients want, and operate at scale, whether you're a private owner or a municipal landlord.

You Earn: You collect steady lease income without carrying any of the day-to-day work.

What Happens After You Lease

Once we lease your venue, here's what our team takes off your plate:

  • Full Venue Operations & Staff Management
  • A Dedicated Transition Team Handling Every Detail
  • Ongoing Capital Investment in Property Upkeep & Improvements
  • Marketing & Client Acquisition at Scale
  • All-Inclusive Event Planning Systems
  • Revenue Growth & Profit Maximization
  • Guest Experience, Handled Start to Finish

Venue owners across the country lease to us because they want to step back from daily operations but keep their investment.

Whether you sell outright or lease long-term, we know what today's event clients want and how to deliver it at scale for property owners, guests, and teams alike.

Why Venue Owners Talk with Us

There are a lot of reasons venue owners start thinking about what's next. Some are about time, some are about family, some are just business. See if any of these sound familiar.

Stressed about next year's leads? Booking, staffing, and marketing don't stop, and neither does the pressure.

Tired of the day-to-day. Maintenance issues, weekend events, and being on call take their toll.

Ready for the next chapter. You've spent years building the business and you're ready to step away.

No succession plan. You've built a great business, but there's no clear next generation to take it over.

Want to keep the real estate. You'd like to step away from operations while maintaining ownership and guaranteed rental income.

Already running a great business? We'll pay a premium for it. You don't have to be burned out to make a move.

Not ready for anyone to know yet. These conversations stay between us, so you can explore your options without your team or competitors finding out.

Just curious. You're not ready to sell today, but you'd like to understand what your options could look like for future state.

“Working with Wedgewood Weddings was a great experience and ultimately gave us the opportunity to transition our business to a company we felt would take good care of what we had built. From the beginning, we appreciated their professionalism, their understanding of the wedding business, and their commitment to making the transition as smooth as possible. Knowing that Wedgewood is now operating the property and continuing to build on what we created gives us a lot of comfort. We’re enjoying retirement and our newfound free time, while knowing the business we worked so hard to build is in good hands.”

“Wedgewood has been an exceptional tenant and I have enjoyed working with them for over ten years! When they remodeled their leased space, they provided clear communication and a well-executed, beautiful design that exceeded our expectations.  Not only are they reliable tenants, but they are such a pleasure to work with and you feel a true partnership. I would gladly recommend Wedgewood to other property owners.”

“Working with Wedgewood has been a tremendous experience for me, both financially and from an operational and management perspective. We have two facilities leased to Wedgewood, and our partnership has made a significant and positive impact on our bottom line.

Beyond the financial benefits, Wedgewood has made substantial investments in our clubhouses and grounds. These improvements have enhanced the overall member experience and strengthened the value of our facilities, creating a true win-win partnership.

Wedgewood has also proven to be an exceptional partner in working alongside our staff and ensuring a seamless transition. Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Social Memberships at both clubs have actually increased since Wedgewood took over operations—a clear indication that our members are satisfied with the experience and the direction of the food and beverage component of our clubs.

In our business, I have a saying that sums up the challenges of club operations: Food and beverage contribute 10% to the bottom line. Golf contributes 90% of the income while Food and beverage account for 90% of the headaches.

Wedgewood has helped us navigate those operational challenges while simultaneously improving the facilities, supporting our staff, and enhancing the member experience. From both a financial and operational standpoint, they have been an outstanding partner.”

“Wedgewood recently acquired a wedding venue we had owned for over 17 years in San Diego County.  We couldn’t be happier with our interactions with Wedgewood from start to finish.  From the moment we received Wedgewood’s offer until closing the transaction, we found Wedgewood to be exceedingly reasonable and professional.  They did everything they said they would do in a timely manner.  They made the due diligence process easy with their organization and dedicated teams of professionals.  Wedgewood’s skilled and thoughtful transition team ensured that the transition went smoothly and that our wedding parties were seamlessly cared for after the closing.  With Wedgewood, we are confident that the wedding business we had nurtured for so many years was in good hands.”

“My family operated the Stroudsmoor Country in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for 42 years. Stroudsmoor boasts 6 distinct wedding venues, as well as, lodging, spa, and floral services.

As we approached retirement, our primary concern was passing the property on to an experienced organization, who would take as good care of our customers and staff as we did. We found this to be the case with Wedgewood.

Our transaction occurred in early 2026. From our very first discussions, the Wedgewood team was friendly, honest, organized, and knowledgeable. All required pre-requisites to closing were completed ahead of schedule, and we were able to close on the agreed upon date.

I write this testimonial approximately 6 months post-closing and my sentiments about Wedgewood are stronger than ever. We have developed a continuing partnership through our bakery operation providing baked goods for consumption at the Wedgewood Wedding venues.”

“We have had a great experience working with Wedgewood Weddings. Three years ago we were thinking of retiring but weren’t really sure how to proceed. When Wedgewood approached us it was the easiest decision to make. They made the whole process seamless right from the beginning. It has been three years now and there have been no issues. We are enjoying our retirement and have a wonderful tenant relationship.”

“I have leased our event center to Bill and his team at Wedgewood for 10 years.  They have spent generously on capital improvements during that time and are great stewards of the property.   They are responsive when needed and have provided an excellent option for me to step back from operations.”

“We started with Wedgewood on one Temecula property several years ago and were so impressed we quickly added another. Working with their team has been straightforward and professional from day one, which made it easy to keep growing the relationship. Having them as a tenant has been a pleasure—reliable, consistent, and easy to work with. We would gladly add more properties and keep expanding the partnership. I’d happily recommend them to any other owner considering it.”
