Tina Dannel – Pivoting with The Metro

Like many wedding planners, the pandemic threw a wrench into Tina Dannel’s business model. Then along came a 1958 Milk Truck that changed things, for the better. Listen to this episode and hear how The Metro has been a positive pivot for Tina’s wedding business, and how it’s added new opportunities beyond its original intention – a mobile wedding chapel.

In this episode you will hear about Tina’s pivot, where she created The Metro DFW. The Metro DFW is a 1958 International Harvester Metro step van converted into my business on wheels. It's Dallas's only DRIVE-THRU wedding! They also offer Wedding Delivery, where they come to your house to officiate a wedding.

With everything opening up now and people getting back to big events, they are now renting The Metro to use it as a bar truck, photo backdrop, coffee bar (they partner with Hot Shots Coffee  https://www.hotshotscatering.com/ ), DJ booth, or whatever you can imagine!
