You NEED the Emeline!


I cannot say enough about how amazing the wedding planning process has been at the Emeline with Cornelious Martinet, the Director of Catering and Events. He is professional, in a personal way, responsive and dedicated. The item at top of my list for "AHHH this is amazing!" is the diagram that he creates for the ceremony and reception area. For those brides that are type A or have a hard time visualizing things this was a game changer. I know so many ladies that spend hours on Canva and still aren't able to create what they need. He does it FOR you and will adjust and move things as you want! He has been super responsive: mind you my wedding is in another year, but he treats me as if its next month. He is very willing to toss around ideas and give you honest feedback. I have had such a stress-free planning experience and I attribute all of that to my amazing easy-going mom, a hand on groom and Cornelious! If you're on the fence about locking in Emeline- DO IT! 10/10 you won't regret!

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!

Cornelious Martinet
Director of Catering & Events

Cornelious began his hospitality career in 2016 as a guest services associate at Bellows Lodge in Waimanalo, Hawaii. In the spring of 2017, he was selected to participate in the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World, where he acquired numerous valuable skills that he continues to use today. After completing the internship, he moved to Savannah, Georgia, where he spent over three years working in various departments with Hilton.

Cornelious later took on a part-time role in events while managing multiple departments full-time at The Red Fox Inn & Tavern, the oldest continuously operated inn in the United States. He then ventured back to Savannah as the Catering Sales & Conference Services Manager for Mansion on Forsyth Park, where he sold, planned, and executed large events for luxury clients. In this role, he had the most exciting and rewarding part of his career, managing group events for 150-200 guests.

With a passion for weddings, Cornelious is thrilled to welcome couples to Emeline, offering his wedding expertise and unparalleled guest service throughout the planning process.
