Weddings at Walnut Hill | Ep 18 Amanda Peoples | The Venue RX

In this week's episode, our host Jonathan Aymin sits down Amanda Peoples owner of Walnut Hill Wedding Venue to discuss what it was like turning her childhood family home into a wedding destination, how she has changed her advertising strategy over time as they grew in business, and how she juggles family time and working full time at the venue with her husband. About Our Guest: Amanda Peoples has a background in luxury customer service from her years working at some of Raleigh's landmark businesses such as The Umstead and Bailey's Fine Jewelry. She then moved to the events industry working with Party Reflections before opening Walnut Hill. Walnut Hill was once Amanda’s childhood playground. The barns were her play houses, the chicken coup was the best hiding place, and the lake was where she perfected her swimming skills. As she grew up this piece of land was where she would go to get away from the world and find peace. In 2019, they began hosting weddings at the family estate. When this all began she thought they would do a few weddings a year and it would be a small part time job while she stayed home with her children. Well she never could have imagined how they would grow! Walnut Hill is now not only a full time project for Amanda, but her husband Scott joined the company in 2022!
