Today we’d like to introduce you to Joceylin Cardenas.
Hi Joceylin, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started by being an event coordinator in 2021. I loved being a part of such special moments. After my first year, I loved the idea of owning my own event space.
After brainstorming and having a lot of “what if” conversations with my husband, we decided to take the leap of faith. It started by searching for empty properties to potentially build, existing buildings and/or empty warehouses. By early 2024 we almost took a break from searching until, what became La Hacienda, was finally found.
The property needed lots of TLC but the vision was there, it had the greatest potential to become numerous of things. With the support of my family and in laws, we were able to transform the property to the perfect modern rustic property. We officially opened fully August of 2024.
Till this day, there is upgrades we hope to add on to the property, so we are definitely not done!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Ultimately, it was a new business we had to learn. While I had a background in events and the planning process, it has been a learning process of what works and what doesn’t.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We are a 3.5 acre property that allows a variety of events for up to 130 guests. With a diverse space that allows outdoor and/or indoor events with a large pond for a scenic view.
We are a family owned and operated business – our goal is for you to feel like home and create a welcoming environment for your family and friends while celebrating this milestone at an affordable price.
How do you think about luck?
We visited many properties, and even found a property that we believed would be perfect for the business portfolio we were going for. Ultimately, we were not financially suite to pursue and had to let it go. Once we came across this specific property – everything lined up for us. We believe timing is everything, believe in that if it’s meant to be for you, it will.
