Episode 055 - Sausages, Etsy Witches & Sparkler Bans: Behind the Scenes at Indian Trail Club

Ever wish you could sit down with the people who actually run the venues - and ask what they really think about us?

In this episode, the Focused AF crew talk with Debbie and Dana from Indian Trail Club, who’ve seen everything from rain dances to rogue vendors. They share candid (and hilarious) stories from decades in hospitality - along with rare insight into how venues choose who they trust, refer, and love working with.

If you’ve ever tried to build stronger venue relationships or land that elusive “preferred vendor” spot, this episode might change how you approach every wedding from here on out.

Today's drink is the Honey Deuce:

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ oz Grey Goose vodka

  • 3 oz fresh lemonade (store-bought works, but fresh-squeezed makes a difference)

  • ½ oz Chambord (black raspberry liqueur)

  • Honeydew melon balls, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a highball glass with crushed ice (not cubes — that’s key for the texture).

  2. Add the vodka and lemonade.

  3. Gently drizzle in the Chambord, which will float slightly and create that pink ombré effect.

  4. Garnish with three honeydew melon balls on a skewer — they’re meant to look like little tennis balls.

  5. Serve immediately while icy-cold.
