Hello I’m Katrina Naylor

I am the Wedding Venue Director at a wedding and event venue in Eastern NC called Butterfly Kisses Pavilion.  We have been in business since 2011 and I’ve been utilizing the Honeybook Software for several years.   

I unexpectedly “plopped” into the wedding industry when I planned my own wedding and my dad and family built our wedding venue.   I threw myself into it and determined that in order to run my business and keep to the values I intend to stick with of Small business, Quality Product, VALUABLE service I had to streamline, organize, and automate my process.  Honeybook did just that for me!   

I’m far from perfect but I feel my business is successful.  I’m constantly looking for ways to improve and I truly feel that Honeybook has been an excellent match for that same expectation of myself.

I’m a huge advocate for using your CRM for all it’s worth.  Stop using “old school” items that honeybook was intended to replace.   Embrace your CRM, take the time to adjust your practices to use it for what it’s worth!

Looking forward to connecting with everyone especially fellow Venue owners/directors/managers or people in the wedding industry utilizing this wonderful software!….Bonus if you are in NC

        Hi Katrina!

        So good to find out there are others in the venue industry in the community!!
        I’m from KS. And I have a similar story. 5 years ago I, too, did the plunge into the awesome world of weddings when my hubs and I built Haymaker Lodge for our son’s wedding. 

        Looking forward to connecting and learning alongside other Venue Owner/Operators!
