As a newer local in Las Vegas, I didn't have many friends to get local vendor recommendations from for my wedding. EAQ had good reviews on the knot, and we had good first impressions upon our visit. And let me tell you, IT EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!
Our contact for most of the planning process, Joey, was exceptional. She responded to all of my various inquiries in a timely manner and was super helpful and accommodating, even at the end when I got a little more needy and plans changed a few times. She covered everything from top to bottom and didn't miss a beat. EAQ coordinated with our vendors (cake, floral) so everything on the day-of played out seamlessly and without needing my help or attention.
Our day-of coordinator, Daisy, was also exceptional!!!! I didn't know what to expect as far as day-of help, but Daisy took phenomenal care of us from beginning to end. It is very clear that her (and the rest of the staff that took care of us) have done this many times. Not only was she extremely helpful, but she was very friendly and fun to have around as well.
Darren, the in-house EAQ DJ, was ALSO top notch!!! Again, did not know what to expect as I didn't seek him out myself, but man was he the best. Not only did he take my million specific requests and make them all happen, but he made the night incredibly fun for everyone there.
The coordinators, DJ, bartenders and wait staff, set-up and tear-down crew, and all the helpers behind the scenes... these people truly made our day perfect.
Our guests couldn't say enough good things about this experience, and neither can we!
We love you, EAQ!!!

My husband said it best “if we had another $20K to drop on a wedding next year we would book Emerald again!”
Our December wedding was nothing short of magical thanks to the staff at Emerald.
First, the venue itself is gorgeous. It’s located 25ish minutes off the strip in Summerlin. So far enough from the crazy but close enough to go to the strip if you wanted to. We’re from Chicago so this was a perfect location for us to have events on the strip and off. The venue is also beautiful. The outside area makes you feel like you’re in some sort of desert oasis.
Planning a wedding from afar was a little worrisome for me but Karli made it so easy. She was with us every step of the way and was quick to respond to any questions we had or details. Emerald also had a really nice tasting where we were able to meet some of the preferred vendors and book them.
The day of, Devin, Darin and Mary were amazing to work with. Without them we would have had no idea what we were doing. They helped guide us through the wedding timeline so smoothly and were easy to access if we needed anything (like my bustle being fixed after face planting on the dance floor! Lol). They also were very welcoming and friendly which made us feel relaxed and more like we were with friends than total strangers.
100% I would book Emerald again and 100% recommend your event!

The Emerald at Queensridge exceeded all our expectations! We chose the premium package for our winter wedding, and it was worth every penny. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the staff is top-notch. Karli was so helpful during the planning stages, and the day-of coordination was flawless. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food and the overall ambiance. We especially appreciated how the team handled a last-minute officiant change – DJ DM stepped up and did an amazing job! He truly made our ceremony so special. The Emerald at Queensridge offers incredible value for the price – you get a luxurious wedding experience without breaking the bank. Highly, highly recommend!

We got married at Emerald at Queensridge on December 19th and it was the most amazing night! From start to finish they were fantastic with all the little details that went into the big day. Karli especially was great with communication and always answered my (many) questions promptly. On the day of Devin made sure everything ran smoothly with the help of all the other workers who ensured our night was exactly as we planned/dreamed. I cannot say enough great things about the people at Emerald at Queensridge and the venue itself which speaks for itself! It is absolutely stunning and after seeing the place we did not look at another venue as we knew it was the one for us. I absolutely cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else!!

Not one for reviews but have to give them when they are deserving. From the staff to the venue we appreciate it. Thanks again!

Emerald @ Queensridge made getting married as easy as possible. Bree is extremely responsive and will get back to you quickly and efficiently with answers to your questions, The owner Renae is so sweet, and has employed the best staff imaginable. The venue is gorgeous, the food made by their in-house chef is incredible, the other vendors they suggested are also amazing and they all work so well together. The wedding day was organized, seamless, and honestly went by in a flash with no hiccups. Cannot recommend EAQ enough to brides as a destination wedding location with great packages and deals.

Everything was very smooth from beginning to end!

Staff was outstanding and helpful at every possible moment.

Food was phenomenal!

Great choice for our special day!

It is difficult to put into words how happy we were with our experience at Emerald at Queensridge (EAQ). We are not local, so planning a destination wedding COULD have been a headache. This was never the case! Joey was our wedding planner and made things simple, fun, and manageable (the way wedding planning truly should be!). We did all of our planning meetings over Zoom, and we never felt like we weren’t connected even though we were thousands of miles away. Email correspondence was always lightning fast which was so appreciated. Joey helped us define our vision, and do it in a way that still fit our budget. EAQ is a family ran business and that is very important to me and my husband. We had personal touches and care that we never would have gotten at a larger more corporate venue.

Additional staff shoutouts: Daisy, the day of coordinator was my legitimate savior from start to finish on wedding day. My manicure that I just got done a few days before completely chipped on multiple fingers. In passing I showed Daisy at our rehearsal, and the morning of wedding day she had the perfect matching nail polish for me that she brought from home. Besides that, she was calm, efficient, and friendly. I truly felt I could lean on her throughout all of the wedding day craziness.
-The bartender was fantastic. We were nervous that only having one bar inside would lead to long lines given our large guest count (~140 people). We did end up adding an additional bar outside in the courtyard to help keep the lines short. I’ll tell you this—the additional bar was not necessary! The bartender and staff work so quickly inside that there was never a long line! We were so grateful.
-The servers and rest of the wait staff were super friendly and efficient.
-Darren the MC/DJ is THE MAN! Him and Daisy worked so well together and so well with me and my husband throughout the night. There were some timeline issues that had me stressed out and required us to make some changes to the reception schedule in real-time. This was no one at EAQ’s fault at all, but Darren knew that these changes in timeline were stressing me out, and he offered solutions and tweaks to our reception schedule that allowed me to enjoy the reception the way I wanted to. Not only does he get the party started, and keep the party going, he also was another great support for me and my husband throughout the night.

Venue: The courtyard is stunning. Period. It has the best views of the Red Rocks, and it looks beautiful at every time of day. The sound system in the entire venue is great. I was worried that guests would not hear the pastor at the ceremony since they sit a little farther from the alter. Not the case at all!! Everyone could hear everything and the music for the ceremony sounded great as we walked down the aisle. The reception room is nice and spacious and the lighting in the room is so romantic. We added on the tri-level candles on the speaker box and stair case and they were so worth the price!! It really was a dream. The bridal suite upstairs is the PERFECT spot for a bride and her party to get ready for the day. Set with blue tooth speakers, couches, high tops, stations for hair and makeup, two bathrooms, and a balcony. We were so comfortable all day!!

I am running out of characters but additional thoughts: I barely ate but everyone said the food was good! (Especially the ham).

We are forever grateful to EAQ for helping us have the best day of our lives!

The venue and staff were amazing!!

Our wedding planning process was so easy at Emerald! We wanted a beautiful outdoor ceremony location with indoor reception and this was perfect. The planning process never felt overwhelming thanks to Emerald providing us with a comprehensive checklist of decisions we needed to make, offering a great list of recommended vendors, and being super responsive to all questions. Bree was amazing to work with during our planning and we can't thank Jasmine enough for her time and attention day-of. 100% recommend!
