Why we Love Partnering with Here Comes the Guide
Running a small venue like The Fig Room—small, intimate, flexible—is all about relationships. Relationships with our guests, local creatives, and fellow vendors. So when we find a platform that’s built on connection, community, and real support—it’s a natural fit.
That’s why we love partnering with Here Comes the Guide.
What Makes Here Comes the Guide Different?
There are plenty of wedding websites and event directories out there, but very few offer the kind of personal touch and attention that Here Comes the Guide brings to the table. They don’t just list your venue and leave you to it. They check in. They ask how they can help. They offer real education via their Venue Business Bootcamp run by CEO, Meredith Schwartz.
Since working with them I’ve genuinely benefited from:
Bootcamps that teach real strategy (not fluff) for marketing and booking more events
1:1 sessions with their CEO, Meredith—yes, really—to talk through goals and ideas
Ongoing communication from their team that makes me feel seen, supported, and rooted in community
Increased bookings and higher visibility from being on their platform
I also love that a they send monthly stats and offer time to discuss ways to increase bookings and think creatively about your venue.
From someone that also manages vacation rentals, their website design is easy to use, streamlined and efficient. It’s clean, and user friendly—sharing all the important venue details without anything getting lost. That streamlined experience matters, especially when potential guests are comparing options or planning from a distance.
A True Partner for Independent Venues
At The Fig Room, we’re not a corporate ballroom or a one-size-fits-all resort. We’re a cozy cottage one block from the beach. We serve couples and creatives who want their celebration to feel like them.
So partnering with a platform that champions spaces like ours and supports and empowers owners is a win.
We’re proud to be listed on Here Comes the Guide and excited to connect with couples who are looking for something different, something smaller, something meaningful.
