Closer to a long dinner party than an event
Up to 100 people in one room with a bar and fireplace, just minutes from where you’ll marry the next day. Dinner runs long, conversations stay close, and nobody is seated out of earshot.
Because our 2027 and 2028 wedding calendar is filling quickly, we’re accepting a more limited number of rehearsal
dinners on select dates. Reach out with your wedding date to see if a rehearsal dinner at Emerson is available.
