Planning a wedding through Covid, you would think be a nightmare. Kelly made the experience so enjoyable and so much less stressful than I expected. Kelly was fantastic figuring out ways to keep the wedding elegant even while following safety protocols from the state. She listened to my ideas and did everything she could to make our wedding perfect. She truly cared about making our day special and personal. The venue was stunning and the food was great. Perfect is an understatement for how great this venue was.

Emerald Event Center was the absolute perfect location for our wedding. The staff was incredible from day 1. Of course, our wedding was during the pandemic and we had to postpone. Kelly Arthur and her team pivoted with me every step of the way. She was just as excited (with good news) and sad (with bad news) for me every step of the way and I will never forget that. When we pulled up to EEC on our wedding day, I saw her and said, "there is my girl!" with a huge smile on my face. She was so sweet to give us a personalized gift which means I know she listened to me talk about my dog multiple times :). The day of the wedding (at 3pm, while we were in church getting married), the governor put restrictions on alcohol and closed all bars across the state early. They were very kind and flexible and had little surprises to make it better! The food was great, the staff was amazing, and the overall experience will NEVER be forgotten. I highly recommend! You know they love what they do... Read more - it's more than just a job for them.

I cannot express our gratitude for the staff at The Emerald Event Center. They helped us achieve our dream wedding! Everything ran smoothly the day of, and they were there every step of the planning process. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

The Emerald Event center was the perfect place to host our wedding! Shannon was super helpful and very prompt with my million emails and questions! They also handle decorating the ballroom which eased a lot of my stress! I would highly recommend hosting a wedding here!

We had an amazing experience with Emerald! The attention to detail from our wedding planner Shannon from start to finish was spot on! We loved her! The night was truly spectacular from beginning to end. My daughter and her husband were so happy that they chose Emerald. We received compliments that it was the best wedding food ever! We all would highly recommend Emerald Event Center!!

Emerald Event Center was not only beautiful, but the staff made our wedding an amazing experience, starting day one when we toured the venue all the way through the next morning as we said goodbye to our guests. They were so flexible and worked hard to make every guest feel welcomed and important. Shannon was a blessing and we were thrilled to work with her!

I can’t say enough amazing things about the Emerald room and our event planner Shannon! Everything I could ever imagine was put into place to make my wedding exactly how I envisioned it to be. It was so nice to have Shannon help with honestly everything, she gave great input and recommendations, helped with the set up of both our ceremony and reception, and overall put my mind at ease that she could handle anything brought upon her. The venue is beautiful, providing literally everything you could think of to make a perfect wedding. The food was awesome, the staff was attentive and helpful, and ever wish within reason was granted. If you want to have a beautiful wedding with a great supportive staff that provides everything you need then book your wedding with the Emerald Event Center!

We enjoyed every part of the process while working with Shannon Besenfelder. Her responsiveness and level of detail as we planned our wedding reception were unmatched. We loved the food tasting which included us and 4 guests, and the included honeymoon suite was an added bonus. The venue itself was beautiful and I know we will continue receiving compliments from our guests on the food, service, and the space itself. The staff was pleasant to work with and we also enjoyed the flexibility in the upgrades we chose (for example we were able to upgrade the chairs only at the head table and keep all other chairs the standard). Shannon did a great job placing our decor items we provided along with the included ones we used from the venue, and the staff packed everything up for us so we could relax at the end of the night. Overall - great experience and we are so happy with how smoothly the whole process went! Highly recommend the Emerald Event Center if you’re looking for an easy, all-inclu...

Our daughters reception was so beautiful!!! Everything was taken care of by the wonderful staff at the Emerald. I would recommend the Emerald to all of our friends. We had guest from out of town staying and the rooms were beautiful and brunch the next day was fabulous. If you are looking for a place for your your wedding this is the place to go. Thank You to all the staff at the Emerald!

Emerald Event Center made my daughters wedding a night to cherish! Everything was top notch from the rooms, hor'devours, dinner, set up & take down to the planners, chef & staff! We were so pleased with the night & our guests keep raving about the venue!!

We primarily worked with Emily during our wedding planning process with The Emerald Event Center and she was AMAZING! All of the planning, any question I had, Emily was there with fast responses and friendliness. She even went above and beyond and did fun little extra things for us that we weren’t expecting (like giving me an extra side of mashed potatoes with my meal since she found out how much I loved them and giving my husband his favorite potato we tried at the tasting, with his meal on our wedding day even though that’s not the starch we went with) and a few other things that to me was a reflection of her character and she’s absolutely perfect for the job. Emily had her cousins wedding the day of our wedding so she could not be there (which is completely understandable) and we had Shannon filling in for Emily. My husband and I both felt that we were lucky to have Shannon fill in for Emily and she did a perfect job helping with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner Friday n... Read moreight and the entire wedding day on Saturday. Shannon made sure everything went as smoothly as possible and we are very lucky to have been able to work with her too. Mindy is such a sweet sweet woman. We are so lucky that we got to work with her for our wedding too! She stayed until almost midnight on Friday night working and that work ethic is amazing to me. We were putting up our backdrop Friday night while she was in there and she got an extension cord for us, when we were trying to untangle our lights she brought out mini water bottles for us. She is seriously one of the sweetest women I have ever met and she is also perfect for the job she does. The entire staff at Emerald couldn’t have been any more perfect and our day we will never forget and we have The Emerald Event Center to thank for that.

We recently hosted our wedding reception at Emerald and I cannot express how amazing everything was.From the moment we stopped in the see the location everything was a breeze. The entire staff was so easy to work with throughout the planning process. Shannon made sure to keep everything on track and checked in with me often. Every guest raved about how gorgeous our reception was, how amazing the service was and how absolutely delicious the food was. The food was cooked to perfection. Every staff member was extremely courteous and polite. If there was a spill on the dance floor, a staff member was near by to clean it up. Any last minute changes were quickly changed by Shannon's amazing staff. Our reception was absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much to Emerald for the reception of our dreams!

My guests all said how much they loved my wedding reception through this venue. Was able to make many modifications to our space and the food was awesome. Highly recommend going through their preferred vendor for the wedding cake as well. Packages can be a bit pricey, but the hotel attached made it so much easier. Highly recommend for any couple looking for a reception venue. Person that I worked with with prompt with responses to my questions and helped make the day perfect.

Shannon was very helpful with planning our dream wedding! She was always very responsive and quick to get answers for me when needed. Everyone raved about all the food we had and how great it tasted! Emerald was such a perfect location for everyone at our wedding and a lot of people also choose to stay at the hotel. The hotel staff was very accomadating! All in all, Emerald was a great place to have a wedding!
