Tonight’s “She Talked” is the gorgeous Natalie Lands; woman, wife, mother and proud owner of Adelaide’s brand newest venue “Ten22” I have only met this gal a handful of times but she feels like an old friend! Her generosity, spirit, passion and drive for excellence and a taste for class is captivating. Not only does she juggle the role of all three hats she is gearing up for the launch of her “third” baby – a boutique Spanish flavored home away from home!
A virtual round of applause for tonight’s company x x
What would your best friend say about you?
Interesting! I called her up as I find this question most embarrassing! This is what she said! “Friendly, balanced, wise, hospitable, easy-going, generous & helpful” Awww I have the most beautiful friends!!!
Tell us about your typical day in a few sentences?
Each day really is so different. Must have a caffeine hit first thing in the morning! I do the morning drop kids off to school, then hit the office running. I love showing people thru our venue. Its exciting meeting new people and talking about how we can help make their event extra special.
What is one thing that is taking up a lot of your “though” life?
For this season the venue is probably taking most of my thought life! We want our venue to go above and beyond every expectation. From the service we give people, to the food we serve to the atmosphere that is created for each event. So a lot of time and thought is taken on how we can achieve the best experience for our clients.
If you could go back and tell your 15yr old self one thing, what would it be?
To be strong and courageous, and not let self doubt and intimidation hold me back.
What is the most helpful piece of advice anyone has given you?

If you created a bumper bar sticker what would it say?
“The smaller fish are always the sweetest”
What is one tip you would give for balancing your personal and professional life?
I think this is always a challenge and still a working progress but I try to always keep perspective on what is really important in life. For me its my family, the people I love. And always remembering at the end of each day there’s’ always another! Knowing time management, when its work time its work, and when its family time work is nowhere to be seen!
When you are down in the dumps how do you get yourself back up?
Phone a friend ha ha ! Literally! I’m not the kind of person to hold things in I have to get my thoughts & feelings out. I have some beautiful people in my life that I trust and will always give great perspective! Other than that a piece of chocolate & cup of tea does go a long way!
What couldn’t you live without?
My toothbrush!
What is one of the proudest moments of your life?
Giving birth to my two beautiful children! I know it sounds cliché but it took approximately 12 years to fall pregnant, so I feel so blessed to have them!

In your business, what is the most rewarding experience?
Being a part of someone’s’ special day & celebration in their life. A significant commitment, a special celebration, a birthday….its a real honour to be part of it.
