Amazing Food and Stunning Space

We got married at Emeline in December and everything about our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We got married in the courtyard with the fireplace as the backdrop and were able to have the fireplace on which really added a perfect cozy feel for our December wedding. We had cocktail hour in the greenhouse space while the team from Emeline flipped the courtyard space for dinner. The greenhouse space is stunning without having to add any decoration at all. The hanging plants and chandeliers, as well as the abundance of plants on the sides give it such an elegant feel all on its own. I was also so impressed with how quickly the team was able to flip the courtyard space for dinner. The attention to detail was great even in such a short amount of time and the tablescapes looked exactly, if not better, than I'd planned. The dinner itself, as well as all the other food throughout the evening, was incredible!! All of our guests raved about the food and we were so impressed! It tasted great and the portions were generous, definitely no one went hungry that night. The service was wonderful throughout the night and everything ran so smoothly. I thought it was really nice that, even though we didn't utilize the ballroom spaces for the event, we still had access to them. Our vendors were able to use it as a staging area and we were able to easily store things there.

As some other reviews have mentioned, the response time was sometimes a little slow, but as the event got closer and it was actually necessary to get a timely response, the response time was great. I thought Kaitlyn was wonderful to work with and absolutely made sure I had the information I needed by when I needed it.

Overall, we were very impressed with the service and value for money at Emeline. In a city like Charleston, all wedding venues are going to be expensive. I think the amount of things that are included at Emeline and the level of service on event day absolutely makes it worth it. The courtyard and greenhouse spaces are so gorgeous on their own that it really makes it easy to save money on flowers and decor as well. We are so happy that we chose to get married at Emeline and are so happy that we can go back to celebrate for years to come.

Lovely rehearsal dinner at Hotel Emeline

Kaitlyn and the Hotel Emeline team were extremely responsive and helpful with executing a plated dinner in the courtyard for a rehearsal dinner I planned. The service was great and they were able to adjust the space after the dinner to accommodate the Welcome Party afterwards. I highly recommend this space and staff for all your future event needs!

Amazing venue!

We stumbled upon Emeline just months after they opened in July of 2020. We were so glad we did - it was an absolute dream! The venue has so much unique beauty and character. We did a package with included pretty much everything and we had a day of venue coordinator, Rebecca that made our day absolutely flawless and stress free. Would HIGHLY recommend!
