Whether she’s planning a birthday party or micro wedding, Vené aims to create meaningful spaces that help her clients make lasting memories. </p> <p><strong>Business mission:</strong> “Our mission at <a href="https://www.saturdaysoiree.com/">Saturday Soirée</a> is to gather people simply and significantly. People often think that to have a gathering and for it to be successful, you have to be in a grand space or in an expensive space, and that’s not the case. Quality time is free, so we [help] you spend quality time.”</p> <p><strong>How being a veteran shapes her entrepreneurship:</strong> “The number one thing I’ve taken away from being a veteran and starting a business as an entrepreneur would be to be kind to everyone. In the military [and in business], you meet people from all walks of life, and you realize that some people aren’t as personable or they don’t have the skills to be kind. [All of our clients] deserve the same amount of respect and effort as everybody else.”</p> <p><strong>Advice for veteran entrepreneurs: </strong>“Utilize your resources. There are so many resources available to you to help you begin a business, pick your business back up, or anything else you may need. Yelp has been an immaculate resource for us, whether it’s been an email or a one-on-one meeting with a mentor [through the <a href="https://blog.yelp.com/businesses/yelp-for-business-x-luminary-fellowship-program-2024/">Yelp for Business x Luminary Fellowship</a>]. They have been there with us every step of the way.”</p> <p><strong>Vené’s tip for supporting veterans as a local business:</strong> Consider offering a military discount, which you can also note on your Yelp Page through <a href="https://blog.yelp.com/businesses/the-most-popular-business-attributes-on-yelp-in-2023/">business attributes</a>. Saturday Soirée offers a discount on its picnic and event packages on “Military Mondays” in November.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sundae-scoop-in-virginia-beach-virginia">Sundae Scoop in Virginia Beach, Virginia</h3> <p>Army veteran Philip and his wife, Sibs, talk about how military life prepared them to take on the challenge of entrepreneurship with <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/sundae-scoop-virginia-beach" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sundae Scoop</a>.</p> <div class="wp-custom-html"> <center><span style="margin-left: 40px;"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Clj8liEpBPQ/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;
