Beautiful Venue

Emporium by Yarlen is a beautiful facility and a great place to host a special event. I loved their one stop approach, they handled the décor, flowers, food, so much more. Our coordinator Cynthia was amazing, having patience throughout the process and answering our many questions.

I used Yarlen Decor & Linens for my wedding on Aug. 22, 2015, I cannot express what a wonder job they did setuping venue with their beautiful centerpieces, linens and flowers. My guest were blown away with the amazing job they did. They have such beautiful decor items, flowers and linens to choose from. I showed Yaramin (decor specialist) pictures of how I wanted my wedding to look like, and she went above and beyond to ensure that I get exactly the look I wanted for my wedding. She was so helpful and would even send me pictures of mock setups of table linens with centerpieces so that I would feel at ease and make adjustments if needed. What impressed me the most about Yarlen Linens and Decorations is the amount of beautiful items they had and their willingness to provide it. My wedding was perfect thanks to Yaramin.

STUNNING!!! All of my guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was! Yaramin and Gabrielle were always available and answered all of my questions with lots of detail. Yaramin was very helpful and just GREAT! She took care of everything and stayed towards the end of our night to get us thru our wedding. My husband and I will always remember our dream wedding thanks to Emporium By Yarlen!!! Its the perfect venue!!

I only used their linens service, there venue is beautiful but way outta my budget. My tables looked amazing with the set up they did. Gabby and yazamin were great to work with. I wish i had the money for pick up service it would have so very helpful but didnt but that has nothing to do with them. found at bridal extravaganza and used $100 bridal bucks off my order. Really made our venue so nice with their linens.

GORGEOUS reception site. Just had my wedding reception there in the main ballroom and it impressed the entire crowd. Beyond impressed - they were more like swept away. They took care of everything for me, including the decorations, favor placements, setting up our appetizer tables, making sure vendors had access when they needed it, and way more. The site managers stayed up all night with our wedding with their families in order to make sure it was going according to plan. They were relaxed enough to let us bring our own liquor in but still maintained a breathtaking decoration scheme and elegant atmosphere. The only complaint I have was just with the quality of the food. It was delicious, but I feel the price outweighed the taste on that front. Other than that, the Emporium was a true bargain for the stress it took off my shoulders. I will DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone who asks. For the south side of San Antonio, this is truly a diamond in the rough. I wish these guys the best of luck for the future!

Overall it was very easy, their venue package included all decorations, catering, bartenders, security guards, waiters, and a gorgeous venue. Yaramin works very hard to meet your needs and the place looks gorgeous like a fairytale.
Their contract is strict so make sure to ask lots of questions. Overall it was a very positive experience for us!
