Phenomenal Experience

Choosing the Emerald Grande as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process. Not only is the venue itself absolutely stunning — with breathtaking views, elegant event spaces, and top-tier amenities — but the real stars of our experience were Emily and Annette.

From the very first meeting, Emily made us feel seen, heard, and completely supported. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail of our day was perfect. Their experience and calm professionalism gave us so much peace of mind — especially during those final few weeks when things can feel overwhelming. Every question I had (and there were many!) was answered with patience and care.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Annette handled every transition, every vendor, and every tiny behind-the-scenes task with grace. Our ceremony and reception flowed beautifully, and I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment — something I’ll always be grateful for.

I truly can’t recommend the Emerald Grande and this incredible team highly enough. If you want a breathtaking location paired with staff who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, look no further. Thank you, Emily and Annette, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

The Perfect Wedding Venue - Truly A Dream!!!

Our wedding at Emerald Grande was everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, the planning process was completely stress-free and enjoyable all thanks to the incredible team, especially Annette and Emily. Working with them truly made everything so easy and seamless. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were unmatched. We always felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey.

The communication was outstanding. Every question, concern, and idea was met with a quick response and thoughtful guidance. On the day of the wedding, Annette executed everything perfectly — we didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

And the food… absolutely phenomenal! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. From cocktail hour to the main course, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It far exceeded the typical “wedding food” experience and added a touch of luxury to our celebration.

Emerald Grande also offers amazing value. The pricing was incredibly fair for the level of service and quality we received. The packages were clear, customizable, and transparent — no surprises, no stress, just a smooth, well-organized process from beginning to end.

If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional food, flawless coordination, and a team that truly cares about making your day perfect, Emerald Grande is the one. Huge thanks again to Annette and Emily — you made our wedding unforgettable, and we’ll always be grateful.
