Because of rain delays, there was a domino effect on the other trades. Spring 2016 was really wet which made it less than ideal for construction. Mother Nature also had its own say during the construction as well. With that being said, there were some challenges to get all the utilities from water, sewer, gas, electrical and even phone and data lines to our property. This was our first large construction project and the first commercial development in the area. There were definitely several learning opportunities throughout this whole process. Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way? We broke ground in the Fall of 2015, and in the Spring of 2016, we started construction, and on October 15th, 2016 we completed our first wedding at Hidden Creek. We sat down with our wives and children and designed on a napkin, what became our dreams of Hidden Creek. After a couple of months Sam and I got together and the subject of a business came up during dinner. I was scared to tell anyone because it sounded crazy because I had a stable career going on for myself. The idea of starting a business came back and it became all that I could think about. In summer of 2012, I had the urge of starting my own business after feeling that I was stuck on the career ladder. Sam sold his restaurants and had all the kitchen equipment in his garage along with all the audio equipment in hopes of doing something later. Sam graduated from UTD with a Business Administration degree and went to own a couple of quick service restaurants in Richardson. I went to radiology school, graduated and was practicing in Fort Worth. We talked every now and then about having our own business in the wedding industry with no idea what our talks would lead us to. We started in the event industry in doing audio video production and DJ in 2006. Sam Pendyala, a family friend for over 30 years, and I grew up together and volunteered in our community as well as served in the churches we went to. Isaac, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Isaac Mathai.
