Client: Karson & Calah Coker
Venue: Meadows at Mossy Creek | Cleveland, Georgia
Key Results: 3 major risk gaps closed, strong contract protections, and a proactive foundation for growth

Starting with Vision—and Strategy

When Karson and Calah Coker opened Meadows at Mossy Creek in 2019, they were new to the wedding industry—but not naïve. They had a strong vision for their venue: elegant, approachable, and grounded in the beauty of North Georgia. But they also understood that appearances weren’t enough. Behind the scenes, they needed to protect their investment and create an operation built to last.

Rather than taking a “figure it out later” approach, they looked for expert guidance right away.

The Challenge: Starting from Zero, With No Risk Plan

Launching a wedding venue from scratch meant navigating a web of legal, liability, and operational questions—most of which didn’t have easy answers:

  • Should they separate ownership from operations?

  • Was their rental agreement strong enough—or just a template?

  • What insurance should vendors be required to carry?

  • Where should they invest in physical safety—cameras, lighting, guest traffic flow?

  • How could indemnification clauses actually work in their favor?

They weren’t shopping for just an insurance policy. They were looking for a partner who could help them make smart, protective decisions—before anything went wrong.

The Nuptial Solution: Proactive, Not Reactive

Nuptial worked closely with the Cokers to create a complete venue risk strategy. From entity setup to contract structure, every piece was designed to strengthen their business operations for the long haul.

We helped them:

✅ Separate ownership and operations to safeguard personal assets
✅ Rebuild their rental agreement with enforceable legal protections
✅ Establish clear vendor insurance requirements—and templates to enforce them
✅ Map long-term safety investments, including lighting, cameras, and guest traffic patterns
✅ Understand indemnification—and how to use it to their advantage

“We didn’t want to be the venue that figured things out the hard way,” Calah said. “Nuptial helped us build everything the right way from the beginning—and we’re so glad we did.”

The Results: Built to Last

Because the Cokers took action early, they avoided the patchwork policies and post-incident cleanups many venue owners face. With Nuptial, they:

Metric Result
Risk Gaps Closed 3 major vulnerabilities identified and corrected
Time Saved Reduced hours spent chasing vendor insurance confirmations
Strategic Insight Gained clarity on future safety upgrades and business structure

Their contracts are now protective. Their vendor expectations are clear. And their insurance coverage matches their property setup and event needs—not someone else’s template.

The Cokers’ Take

“We feel confident in how everything is structured. We’re not guessing. We’re not scrambling. And we’re not at risk the way we would have been without Nuptial’s help.”
