Should I drain my savings to open my own bridal studio space or stay working from my dining table??

okay so I've been planning weddings for FIVE years now out of my apartment and honestly my dining table has seen things 馃槶 a studio space just opened up downtown, $2,400/month, and the landlord wants a 2 year lease signed by Friday!! it would mean brides can actually come to ME for tastings and mockups instead of me hauling boards and fabric swatches to coffee shops every single time lol but here's the thing, I'd have to pull almost $25k from savings for buildout and deposit and that is basically our ENTIRE wedding budget that my fianc茅 Marcus and I have been saving for over a year for our own big day in October 馃槶 he says it's my business my call but I can tell he's nervous, he keeps asking "but what if it's slow in winter" and honestly??? valid question my business bestie says having a real space would DOUBLE my bookings within a year bc brides trust it more, but my mom thinks I'm being impulsive bc I get excited about everything (fair, I cried over a cake topper last week). I keep going back and forth, sign the lease and bet on myself, or stay small and safe and keep our wedding fund untouched. HELP me decide before Friday!!
