Sugar & Ice Snowballs LLC | Application Preview
Sugar & Ice Snowballs LLC is applying for government grants to acquire real estate for a new event and wedding venue while still maintaining their original business.
The funding will be used for purchasing over 5 acres of commercial land in the first year, with plans to develop it into a landscape designed for affordable outdoor events through tiered service packages. In the second year, the business intends to begin constructing a permanent facility for large groups, which will further expand package offerings. By year five, the facility will be fully operational, featuring a bridal suite, multiple ceremony options, and a climate-controlled reception area.
The applicant brings 12 years of experience in organizing large community events, particularly focused on non-profit fundraising, which has contributed to a strong ability to create impactful yet cost-effective environments. They have also established a mobile bar business, providing them with insights into the needs and gaps in the event venue market in East Texas.
In terms of competition, Sugar & Ice will face established venues such as Sunset Oaks Event Venue, Hidden Pines, and The Villa Tyler. However, their unique selling proposition lies in offering diverse outdoor landscapes for events, attractive to budget-conscious brides, all within a more accessible location that promotes collaboration with external vendors.
