Exploring Life & Business with Jashay Bowen of Our Legacy Event Space & Music City Party Rentals

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jashay Bowen.  

Hi Jashay, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My key highlights: I’m under 35, wife, mother, black female, opened 2 businesses during the pandemic that are both thriving. My most recent being a brick & mortar event venue named, Our Legacy Event Space 1919 Gallatin Pike N Madison, TN 37115. I’m the Newest, youngest female venue owner in the area. (The new kid on the block) shortly before the pandemic officially hit, I started my journey to be a serial entrepreneur with my party rental company (Music City Party Rentals). We have been featured at over 200 events. With hard work, faith & a vision, I pivoted into my own venue within 2 years. My goals are to continue to bring diversity, exclusive items & top-tier experiences to the Nashville area. With such depressing times in the last two years, it warms my heart to see the smiles of guest after a successful safe event of fellowship with family & friends whom we missed so much during the pandemic. 

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road lol. My 1st full year in business was 2020. Of course, the entertainment business was completely shut down. After projecting to make a 2020 profit, we were in the red. I knew then that I had to really push once the city started to re-open. We gained momentum in 2021 but also endured & still are enduring the spike in cost of literally everything. It is so much pressure trying to stay affordable & survive rising inventory cost & actually run a business. I was steadfast in my ultimate goal at the time which was operating my own event venue. Finding a space that works with budget & needs was another Mt Everest to climb. Once you find the space, you have to climb through hoops to get in being that landlords are in a recovering stage themselves & are weary of tenant capabilities in these unstable times. It took some extra convincing & good faith measures but here we are. Blessed & pressing forward.
