From the reviews
I got married at this venue on 9/16/23. Kelly, Alyssa and Crystal were THE BEST people I could have ever asked for to create the wedding of my dreams. This venue is absolutely beautiful; I’m counting the days until I get my professional photos back! The views, the service, the communication…everything was so perfect!
Kelly and her staff made our daughter’s wedding perfect from start to finish. The venue is beautiful and offers different options for your special day. During the event they constantly kept on top of everything with a smile and never let us worry or stress about anything.
Hosted our daughters wedding shower here in mid April 2024. Perfect venue. Delicious and varied charcuterie for our guests to enjoy with thwir drinks. Easy to work with. Staff was fantastic. A great day.
I attended a wedding here and it blew me away. I had a few of the cocktails and they were so tasty along with the food. The decor on the inside is so cute and chic, and the outside is so beautiful as well. My favorite was the view during sunset.
Getting married at Emerald Acres
Emerald Acres comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Emerald Acres
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Emerald Acres — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
