A new dining room, and a suite of your own
The barn that stood here came down last summer. In its place, we are building a new dining room, the Emerald Suite, and a new entrance, the pieces that turn Emerson into a full-service venue rather than a room you rent. Opening Spring 2027 and booking now for 2027 and 2028.
The work is underway. The barn came down this summer, and the new structure is already taking shape. Arborvitaes provide a natural screen, while your celebration takes place in finished spaces that are entirely yours.
We share progress on Instagram as the work continues. Follow along for updates and a look at what’s taking shape. We are not accepting new events in December or January.

Intimate, on purpose
One property, one team
Ceremony, dinner and dancing all happen within a few minutes’ walk. Your guests park once, and our team is with you from the first walkthrough to the last car leaving.
Thoughtful by design
We were built for a hundred guests, not three hundred. There is no back of the room here, and no table too far from the toast.
The property sets the scene
The rooms came furnished with handpicked vintage pieces, and the courtyard has mature trees and a firepit. Most couples find they need far less decor than they had planned.

Before you inquire
Four questions, chosen because each one is a reason people leave without asking.
How many guests can you seat?
Up to 100 guests, including a dance floor. The new dining room opens March 2027, with the same 100-guest capacity.
What does a wedding here start at?
Saturdays in prime season sit higher. Once we know your date and guest count, we will send you the full packages by email.
Is my date available?
You can check availability before reaching out. Dates aren’t held until we’ve spoken and signed, so an open date is a starting point, not a guarantee.
Can we hold the ceremony outdoors?
The Meadow is our outdoor ceremony lawn, located just outside The Lounge. Guests park once and enjoy the rest of the celebration on foot. Ceremonies can be held outdoors in the summer and indoors during the winter months.
Weddings begin at $1,900
Once we know your date and guest count, we will send the full packages by email — bar and rentals included.
