Facilities and Capacity
Up to 250 guests can join couples on their wedding day at Hotel Emma. To begin the day of celebration, couples can have a wedding ceremony in the courtyard. This area features four walls and metal beams where there would normally be a ceiling. Instead, natural sunlight streams in through the open roof. The exposed brick walls boast windows and archways, as well as garden elements such as flower beds and fountains. The space seats up to 100 guests and makes for a charming ceremony or cocktail reception. The Goldroom is the perfect location for a cocktail hour or intimate reception, as it seats 60 guests. It features elegant carpeting and stately accents. Cellar J, with Cellar K just outside the doors, seat a combined 150 guests, or function as a space for a cocktail reception that flows naturally into dinner. These rooms boast near floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, and elegantly industrial pendant lights. The carpet is decorative and comfortable under couples’ feet. The Elephant Cellar is the main dining room, and the most popular choice of reception venue. It features many touches of the former brewery with functional updates, such as carpeting and decorative lighting. There are also many smaller rooms in the venue for couples to visit.
