Emerald at Queensridge

easy to work with and understanding. The staff maintains professionalism but also very importantly, provides unique emotional comfort for all the stresses leading up to the wedding day. Practically every table had a story to tell with the amazing DJ you will have the pleasure of working with if you book here too.

because they were so on top of their game. Joey was our planner and Devin was our coordinator the day of and they were both so amazing! This venue is beyond beautiful and so affordable! I highly recommended using the preferred vendors for photography and the cake vendor Las Vegas custom cakes, it’s so worth it!!

the knot, and we had good first impressions upon our visit. And let me tell you, IT EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! Our contact for most of the planning process, Joey, was exceptional. She responded to all of my various inquiries in a timely manner and was super helpful and accommodating, even at the end when I got a little more needy and plans changed a few times. She covered everything from top to bottom and didn't miss a beat. EAQ coordinated with our vendors (cake, floral) so everything on the day-of played out seamlessly and without needing my help or attention. Our day-of coordinator, Daisy, was also exceptional!!!! I didn't know what to expect as far as day-of help, but Daisy took phenomenal care of us from beginning to end. It is very clear that her (and the rest of the staff that took care of us) have done this many times. Not only was she extremely helpful, but she was very friendly and fun to have around as well. Darren, the in-house EAQ DJ, was ALSO top notch!!! Again, did not know what to expect as I didn't seek him out myself, but man was he the best. Not only did he take my million specific requests and make them all happen, but he made the night incredibly fun for everyone there. The coordinators, DJ, bartenders and wait staff, set-up and tear-down crew, and all the helpers behind the scenes... these people truly made our day perfect. Our guests couldn't say enough good things about this experience, and neither can we! We love you, EAQ!!!

a rehearsal; I was under the impression that the rehearsal would have the officiant present which he was not. Besides that one let down I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married in Las Vegas!

ped us so much. She made planning our wedding easy and fun! Joey helped my husband and I with ideas and the vision I had in my head of a perfect wedding happen! Our day of coordinator, Devin was nice, funny, and listened to every request we had! He also kept things running so smoothly and organized, there was never a time I was looking for him that I couldn’t se him. The bridal suite upstairs was beautiful and just the perfect space for any bride and her bridal party to get ready for the day. We got there as early as they allowed us to which was 3 hours before! The suite was setup with a blue tooth speaker table, couches, high top table, 8-10 vanity areas for hair and makeup, two huge bathrooms, and closet with a safe (for personal belongings) and a decent sized balcony. We felt so at home using the bridal suite! For the reception the servers and wait staff were on top of everything at dinner/also after dinner. Darren the DJ/MC (he’s the preferred vendor at EAQ). Super friendly and very outgoing, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long!! Pastor Pete (preferred vendor for EAQ) was fantastic, he arrived early to explain to us how the ceremony was going to go! Also Pastor Pete is from Chicago and at least 80% of my family that was there for our wedding is from Chicago, so that was a big plus for us! This next the part I had no idea about until a lot of my guest told me about it afterwards… The sound system in the courtyard was not working or something because not everyone could hear everything during the ceremony, they could only hear the music for the ceremony as we walked down the aisle. But the courtyard for the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and spectacular. I didn’t pay the additional expenses for more decor outside and I was absolutely happy with the ‘included’ for decorations for outside. Beautiful! The reception room is pretty and spacious. Having my wedding at EAQ was definitely a dream come true for me… Food- My husband and I barely ate(I know this happens often because everyone comes up to the table to congratulate you and your significant other) But our guest were all satisfied with the food. Our overall experience with EAQ was amazing and we are grateful to have been able to share that with our friends and family here. I will highly recommend EAQ to everyone/anyone I hear say that they are getting married. The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because I wish all my guest were able to hear the fully ceremony not just the music. Otherwise it would be a 5 out of 5 stars.

my plate that I didn’t get to eat at the end of the night (way too busy!!). However, the box only contained bottom scraps of my cake that were not the pieces from my plate, which was a flavor I’ll never get to try now that I live out of state.

as excellent, DJ was beyond excellent, great food, service to my wife and I at reception was great, awesome bartender, Bree Romero our coordinator was fantastic and always very helpful with everything we needed Negatives: You will be nickel and dimed for even the most minor upgrades, we were told using vendors that were not contracted with Emerald were ok to use but our vendors we brought in were treated rudely, we were severely rushed after ceremony to take pictures and effected our outcome of photos, grooms suite needs more mirrors and staff started tearing down tables and decor during reception before our last song was even in process So overall this is not a positive review or a negative review but we fell the need to share the pros and cons of our entire experience here at Emerald at Queensridge

che. This was never the case! Joey was our wedding planner and made things simple, fun, and manageable (the way wedding planning truly should be!). We did all of our planning meetings over Zoom, and we never felt like we weren’t connected even though we were thousands of miles away. Email correspondence was always lightning fast which was so appreciated. Joey helped us define our vision, and do it in a way that still fit our budget. EAQ is a family ran business and that is very important to me and my husband. We had personal touches and care that we never would have gotten at a larger more corporate venue. Additional staff shoutouts: Daisy, the day of coordinator was my legitimate savior from start to finish on wedding day. My manicure that I just got done a few days before completely chipped on multiple fingers. In passing I showed Daisy at our rehearsal, and the morning of wedding day she had the perfect matching nail polish for me that she brought from home. Besides that, she was calm, efficient, and friendly. I truly felt I could lean on her throughout all of the wedding day craziness. -The bartender was fantastic. We were nervous that only having one bar inside would lead to long lines given our large guest count (~140 people). We did end up adding an additional bar outside in the courtyard to help keep the lines short. I’ll tell you this—the additional bar was not necessary! The bartender and staff work so quickly inside that there was never a long line! We were so grateful. -The servers and rest of the wait staff were super friendly and efficient. -Darren the MC/DJ is THE MAN! Him and Daisy worked so well together and so well with me and my husband throughout the night. There were some timeline issues that had me stressed out and required us to make some changes to the reception schedule in real-time. This was no one at EAQ’s fault at all, but Darren knew that these changes in timeline were stressing me out, and he offered solutions and tweaks to our reception schedule that allowed me to enjoy the reception the way I wanted to. Not only does he get the party started, and keep the party going, he also was another great support for me and my husband throughout the night. Venue: The courtyard is stunning. Period. It has the best views of the Red Rocks, and it looks beautiful at every time of day. The sound system in the entire venue is great. I was worried that guests would not hear the pastor at the ceremony since they sit a little farther from the alter. Not the case at all!! Everyone could hear everything and the music for the ceremony sounded great as we walked down the aisle. The reception room is nice and spacious and the lighting in the room is so romantic. We added on the tri-level candles on the speaker box and stair case and they were so worth the price!! It really was a dream. The bridal suite upstairs is the PERFECT spot for a bride and her party to get ready for the day. Set with blue tooth speakers, couches, high tops, stations for hair and makeup, two bathrooms, and a balcony. We were so comfortable all day!! I am running out of characters but additional thoughts: I barely ate but everyone said the food was good! (Especially the ham). We are forever grateful to EAQ for helping us have the best day of our lives!

rwhelming thanks to Emerald providing us with a comprehensive checklist of decisions we needed to make, offering a great list of recommended vendors, and being super responsive to all questions. Bree was amazing to work with during our planning and we can't thank Jasmine enough for her time and attention day-of. 100% recommend!

not only had another wedding the day of ours, but they also scheduled a rehearsal with another couple in between. They did not allow any vendors to come set up until 3:45 for our 6pm wedding. When my bridal party and I arrived at 4:15 nothing was ready. My parents, sisters (who were bridesmaids) and other family members had to help set up because guests were beginning to arrive and the room was still not ready. We signed a paper and agreed to a $500 fine if we brought outside alcohol, yet when we arrived in our bridal and grooms suites after pictures, we didn't have the "complimentary beverages". After the ceremony, during the cocktail hour outside, the staff started to take away the ceremony chairs while our guests were still outside. They were going in front of the pictures over and over again. Fast forward to the end of the night, immediately after the last song, I asked for a final drink and the bartender told me no and started cleaning up. Also, at the end of the night, we were expected to bring everything home. When I asked if I could leave one sign and come pick it up in the morning, I was told it may or may not be there in the morning. Lastly, two days later when we were going through all of the stuff, we had noticed we never received the forks that we had eaten our cake with. When we called Emerald at Queensridge to see if they had found them we were told "one of your guests must have stolen them". Emerald at Queensridge takes absolutely no responsibility for their lack of care about you and your event. It is really sad that the above events overshadow the things that were great in the day. Their bottom line is money and they don't care, just as long as they get their money.

y ONE, Bree stole our hearts, she has the BEST response time EVER when you have a billion questions like I do and is always smiling and happy. Very knowledgeable and professional in every way. I thought she was our "assigned" coordinator but she wasn't but assured me we were in good hands. Then we met Daisy for our "DAY OF" coordinator and OH MY GOODNESS! Just when you think it couldn't get any better, it DID! Daisy was SO hands on, so amazing, so kind, so so helpful, so funny, so PERFECT. She handled everything so well, even if there were small issues (donuts for our beautiful donut wall were dripping ) it was handled BEFORE it was even brought to my attention~ By the end of the night we felt like we made a new friend! Kids aka the wedding party loved her also and we just wish we could do the whole day over again. Everyone from the DJ, Bartender, event staff, and owner made our special day unforgettable and we couldn't be happier to share this memory with great people. They do this everyday for a living and still make YOU a priority. THE BEST!

She was always quick to respond to our emails throughout the entire process. On the day of the event, Daisy made everything run so smoothly. She assisted with adding our personal touches, including our centerpieces, when setting up the room so that we could just focus on getting ready and enjoying our day. She, along with the serving staff, were so attentive to us and the rest of our guests, making for a relaxed experience for everyone. We knew we loved the venue when we saw it, but the staff at Emerald really made our experience nothing short of perfect!

helping us feel comfortable, utilizing video chats, and planning everything for us so we could just show up! The bridal suite was exceptionally great, the food was amazing, and the staff were truly so nice and happy to help. I even got complements on the preacher we used through them!

le to give us the wedding we had envisioned. I dreamed of a nighttime ceremony that didn’t have to end before 11pm due to noise ordinances. I wanted a venue that gave magical romance and just a fun experience for all of our guests. From day 1 of reaching out their customer service was outstanding. My contact person during the entire planning process was Bree. She is amazing! I was kept on schedule and always had my questions answered. She saw that all of my wants and requests were handled and kept in touch enough to keep my stress at bay. The day of my wedding I was assigned Daisy as my day of coordinator/ contact. She was my fairy godmother in every way possible. She made sure all vendors were accounted for and that everything for our wedding ran smoothly. Our wedding ran as close to perfect as it could be and I owe most of that to EAQ! The vendors we chose were off of their preferred list and they were also just as amazing. The DJ was the best MC and kept the night on schedule. He played the best mix according to our suggestions. The staff was all incredibly nice and professional. If you are looking to get married at the most gorgeous venue with the best food and experience for you and your guests, chose Emerald at Queensridge and I promise you will be so glad you did! Thank you to everyone at Emerald for making our fairytale wedding a reality!

ble job during our wedding. Our wedding turned out absolutely perfect and exactly the way that I had envisioned it. Daisy and Mary were absolutely amazing and the entire team was so well coordinated and organized. The bartender was super awesome and the DJ was on point. There were a couple songs that was not correct but he got 99% of the songs right. There is absolutely nothing we would change. We are so glad we chose a Emerald Queensridge to celebrate our special day. For the value you get and the price you pay, I highly highly recommend! Thank you so much again.

is venue was our first choice. Bree Romero, our planning coordinator, was super helpful in the months leading up to the big day and was always available to answer and questions that we had. Our day-of coordinator Daisy was top-notch, she was always there if I needed her to help with my train, hold my bouquet during our first dance, and provided words of encouragement right before I walked down the aisle to help calm my nerves. She also was nice enough to make sure that we had a to-go plate of food in hand because we were so busy greeting our guests that we didn't get a chance to eat any dinner. DJ Darren was awesome, and he kept checking in with us throughout the night to make sure the flow was what we wanted, and also kept the party going. The bridal suite is fantastic and has everything you need to get ready. All of our guests kept commenting on how great the food was, and how nice the ballroom looked for our reception. I really can't say enough about this venue and the staff there, their professionalism and attention to detail really make all the difference in making sure you have the wedding of your dreams.

. She was flexible with me, patient, and responsive to all my needs. Emily coordinated my wedding, and she was amazing!!!! She ensured everything went as planned, and adapted as needed with professionalism and grace. My guest were in awe of the service. The DJ was wonderful as well!!! Last but not least, IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I highly recommend Emerald at Queensridge!

! Definitely recommend Emerald at Queensridge.

wedding day! Thank you Emerald at Queensridge and the whole staff. The most beautiful venue I ever seen.

amily and friends were coming from Florida and outside the Country. I had a lot of cancelations the week of my wedding but Emerald at Queensridge was very responsive and even helped me the day-of to arrange my seating chart and making my decoration looked amazing so I didn't have to see empty tables or chairs. It was really windy and the weather said it was going to rain but fortunately it was just an early sprinkle and Emerald made sure to clean the courtyard one more time before the start of my wedding ceremony. I can't thank them enough for being so accomodating and sweet. If you are looking for a Venue that makes you feel like a princess and give you a stress-free day, this is the right venue for you!

and on top of the details. We were fully expecting to run into problems on our wedding day, but the coordinators are so good at their jobs that our night flowed seamlessly. We seriously can not say enough good things about this venue and it’s management.

we looked at and even though some of the other places were really romantic, Emerald really stood out. They have a beautiful courtyard for the ceremony and the reception area was just perfect. Immediately after our meeting we went to the car and said that this was it. We made the call the following day and booked it. We were set to marry in April 2020 but due to the global pandemic we had to reschedule for July 2020. With everything happening, we decided to go for it and it was the best day of our lives. Everything went perfect and we did not have to worry about a thing the entire time. We were able to enjoy our special day without worrying about what was happening. The staff made our guests feel safe and comfortable. The wedding coordinator Cicely was wonderful. She kept in contact with us the entire time we planned the wedding and was always there to answer all of our questions and concerns. On the day of the wedding, we had another amazing coordinator Lorana who was just super helpful and super sweet that went over everything with us before each step throughout the night. We also want to thank Shane and Mary for being very helpful and making sure our night was perfect. We couldn't have done it without them. Our DJ Darrin was fantastic. He made sure the guests and of course the bride and groom were having fun. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed the Photo Booth. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Emerald at Queensridge for making our big day special. Our guests cannot stop talking about what a blast they had. We will never forget it :)

th our decoration, we had a cake table but didn't opt-in for their candle, but they decided to put out candle on my cake table anyway, I was surprised, things unfortunately result in two stars off were due to they changed our pastor at the last minutes without contacting us, we showed up at our wedding looking at our pastor and goes "who the heck is this person?", not only he completely messed up our wedding, it ruined our ceremony, the pastor who showed up didn't do any homework and just do cookie cutter speech, it was so bad we had to ask our videographer to cut out ALL of our ceremony video, I felt this is very unprofessional, we had already contacted the pastor from their brochure, we even met him and had coffee and talked about how we want our ceremony to be like, for them to switch out our pastor in the end was pretty unprofessional. They kindly refunded some money back, but the damage were already been done. Another thing that upset us is on their website they said the price include photography service, please be warned what they didn't mentioned were photogrphy service were provided (meaning they will come take picture for you), BUT you will need to spend at least $1500~$2000 just for them to release the photo to you in the end, so NO, IT'S NOT FREE and It's completely false advertising. One of the videographer I tried to hire also told me they refuse to work in that venue because they were mean to those who were not contracted with them.

ydni

for all your party needs!

Our guests loved the food.

he food was delicious. The location was ideal. I enjoyed being able to customize the venue to match what I wanted for my wedding. The bridal suite was very spacious and had everything I needed. I would recommend EAQ to anyone planning a wedding or event!

ion, venue, ect. Food was AMAZING! There was no complaints at all on my wedding day, stress free and perfect! Both Brees are amazing and I would definitely recommend them as your DOC and Wedding Planner :)

difficult to plan everything, but Skype meetings and emails helped a lot. The reason for only giving 3 stars is because of the execution of everything planned. I sent emails back and forth to the DJ and the Minister, but never got a phone call or a Skype call from any of them. It did not seem personal at all. Then after we did the rehearsal of the walk out and everything, the minister still wasn't there. I didn't think much of it because I figured they do the weddings there all the time since they are provided by the venue themself. But when the day came to walk down the aisle and go through the steps that we rehearsed at the rehearsal, it went all out the door. I specifically said I do not want the minister to ask "who gives this woman to be married to this man?" but she asked that question. Then we rehearsed to be UNDER the microphones so that our guests could hear our vows and the minister stopped us before we got under the mics. How is it that everyone is on the same page EXCEPT the minister. That really bugged me that our guests did not hear our vows. Then with the MC/DJ, we received a packet in email to complete which we did. Then when it came day of wedding, the MC/DJ seemed really confident in what he was saying and what not. But, during my first dance with my husband, he cut off the song mid song....We had a choreographed dance to our first dance and he could obviously see that, but then he cut it off in the middle of the song. He didn't even fade it out, he just abruptly cut it off. We had a grand finale to our dance that we didn't even get to do. Then for the reception dancing at the end, he played full songs and didn't mix up any songs or make it more fun. Also, he asked me what songs to play and I specifically told him 90s, 2000s, and now. he played some kind of jazz ballet music that I did not like at all. I know it was requested, but I didn't agree to any of those songs to be played. Then, with our coordinator, we told them that we wanted our 3 cases of champagne bottles chilled for when we leave the venue to get on our party bus. They said it would be chilled and when we left the venue and got into our buses, the were NOT chilled. So we had to drink warm champagne or put champagne in a cup with ice. I felt as if my husband and I communicated everything we possibly could to everyone we needed to, but it just wasn't executed the way we wanted it to. Everything was beautiful and we definitely enjoyed ourselves, but those little things could've been prevented. I still would recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married in Vegas. It was a one of a kind venue

t until the rehearsal. But Zeta was amazing and helped with everything I needed. She even cried during one of the speeches and seemed to genuinely care about us as individuals. She definitely made me feel special. They have most everything included so I used the provided: dj, photographer (Cashman photo Gilbert was also super great beautiful pictures and fast!), cake, and photo booth. Would highly recommend!

every single second of it and were so happy with our choice. They're affordable and easy to work with. Cicely answered my millions of questions prior to and then Zita was there to help me get through the day once we arrived. The team at Emerald does this for a living and it a really shows! Such an amazing job and our guests were so impressed with the beauty of the venue.

careful decision when signing a contract for your venue. The one thing this venue has going for it is that it is an absolutely beautiful ballroom, beautiful outdoor ceremony space, and it has the best bridal suite in town. Your guests will love it and your pictures will come out great. They offer all inclusive packages that include your food, alcohol, dj, photographer, cake. Please note, the photographer PRESENCE they provide is included but any pictures you want whether digital or print costs extra so keep that in mind when calculating your costs. The cake included is SHEET cake. We paid extra to have a real wedding cake. If you are a low key bride, then this will be a good venue choice for you. If you are interested in something more special, more customized, or if you want to bring in your own photographer or DJ or other outside vendors, this might not be the best place for you. Fyi, you cannot just hire any vendor for décor, everything must be done through their rental companies, and at an upcharge. The bridal suite is amazing, but keep in mind they typically have two weddings a day, so while you think you will be able to get your hair and makeup done in this amazing suite, you will really only have it for a few hours as the previous wedding is wrapping up. We had to have hair and makeup done elsewhere and limo to the venue with enough time really to get dressed before pictures. It was still nice to have a place to get dressed and take a break when needed. The food included is average. If you are looking for a more gourmet meal, it will be at a significant upgrade. I wanted veggies added to the meal, but that was going to cost me $500 extra dollars so we skipped it. I already paid $400 extra to have pre-ceremony cocktails, $1,000 extra for appetizers, and $500 extra for late night snacks, $500 for an extra 30 minutes to the reception, $600 for a normal wedding cake. The biggest problem is the extra charges will change your "affordable package" to much more, so really think about what you want, look at the costs, create the total, and then compare apples to apples when selecting a venue, not apples to oranges. If you want candles on your table, that is $5 a piece extra, and you cannot bring your own real candles. If you want special linens, that is $20-$30 extra per table, and you cannot bring your own or rent them elsewhere. While I am overall happy with my wedding, going back, I probably wouldn't choose this venue. If you are a low-key bride and are ok with a basic wedding package in a beautiful venue, then this will be a good decision for you. If you want a more customized wedding with outside vendors and outside décor, think twice. If you still decide to go here and have outside vendors/elements, 100% hire an outside planner to ensure your evening goes well. I did not do this as they assured me I didn't need to, and this is one of my BIGGEST REGRETS! You need someone working for you 100%, not just the venue catering coordinators. Remember, once it's over, you CANNOT RE-DO IT, and don't expect anyone to really be sympathetic or understanding to your disappointments. As excited as you are when you are planning your wedding, and as beautiful as this venue is when you walk in, this is one time where you have to be super careful with your decision.

more than exceeded my expectations. the food was amazing. the venue is gorgeous. and the bridal suite is amazing!!!

mes Bree also!) helped me with any and everything, answered all my questions and the questions I didn't think of, and was there for me throughout the entire planning process. Email responses were FAST! My family raved about the venue from the organization of the ceremony to the delicious food and cake that was served. DJ DARREN IS AMAZING!! (we shared a love for Prince and other music) He also was accommodating with last minute changes to the music the day of. Kitza (sorry if misspelled) coordinated with ease and was always lending a hand with decorations. Both her and Darren exceeded beyond my expectatins! 2 total gems to this venue!! The bridal suite is everything you could ever dream!! * The only drawback I have is charging kids for open bar pricing when soda and juice is already included in the base price. Their reason was they only count the seats filled for this which to me is a poor excuse considering the employees can clearly confirm how many kids you have at the ceremony that are filling seats and not utilizing the alcohol. But despite my personal concern, I would definitely book here again for our 20th anniversary!! I will never forget EAQ and their staff -- The Hamiltons #8.18.18

exactly how I wanted! Bree was super helpful always answering all of my e-mails (I sent a lot)! Our wedding was beautiful and we have no complaints!

ire planning process was easy and flawless which was perfect since we were planning from out of state. Cicely helped us with all of the details and always found ways to keep my nerves under wraps when I started to get anxious. She listened to my vision and helped bring it to life. The final presentation far exceeded my expectations. The entire staff on our wedding day, special shout out to Zita, kept everything running smoothly. From start to finish, they made us feel like royalty. Whenever a question arose from guests, Zita immediately ran it by us because she wanted us to know and remember that this was our day and it was to go as we had envisioned. The price we paid was remarkable for the experience we had. Our guests and wedding party continue to talk about how much fun they had and how organized and beautiful it all was. It truly was a dream come true. My only regret is that we did not extend our reception time simply because I did not want the day to end. I wish I could relive every moment of it over and over.

f cheapest venues that I found, but the quaility was awesome. All of my guest were amazed on how beautful it was. The dressing room is so beautful as well.

how wonderful our experience was. From the initial planning stages to the food tastings and vendor connections to the onsite day of coordinator, we had someone assisting us every step of the way and overseeing the festvities to make sure everything was perfect. I love that they offered a basic package that could be adjusted and embellished to fit my vision as well as how up front they were with pricing and contract procedures - we knew exactly what to expect and they delivered on it 100%! I highly recommend EAQ and their can-do minded staff!!

ke it feel like you’re their first bride and groom to ever come in. Beautiful venue, brides room is amazing! Outside location where you wed was more gorgeous then in photos This is the place to get married in Las Vegas 100%

telling guests to write messages in our book, she was very softspoken. FYI the cake cutting faux experience was too funny because we didnt actually cut anything! The venue said we would cut a special piece out of the back of the cake but what ended up happening was that we just pretended to cut the hard plastic cake and then pulled the pre-cut piece over to us to eat, HAHA!

eting was with Bree, she was spectacular and we were sold. Emerald allows monthly payments, other venues require fewer huge payments. That was a plus for me. We booked our date a year ahead. Most communication was via email and it went smoothly. Cicely did most of the planning. She did an amazing job. She really made sure every single detail was taken care of. We went all out on our wedding, upgraded everything! Another reviewer complained about them nickel and dime’ing. Well every venue does that. You want a nice wedding but don’t want to spend the money? Good luck with that. Emerald has a base package that includes all the basics needed for a decent wedding. It might not be glamorous but it’ll suffice. On our big day, everything was great with only minor hiccups. Non Emerald vendors we used: photography, videography and flowers. Everything else was all Emerald. It was all GORGEOUS! All our guests said how beautiful everything was. Our day of coordinator was Zita. She did an amazing job! 10/10 for her. We were worried about the food but everything tasted great! There was plenty of it as well. Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. DJ was great as well except for a few WTF songs that were played. A few complaints...the sound system during the ceremony was bad. A few guests said they could not hear us during the ceremony. The processional music was way too low. Our recessional song didn’t play until we were halfway down the aisle. Plus it was low too. Later on in the night, we went outside for photos and now the music is loud. WTF? Biggest complaint of the night, the bartenders were awful. Several guests complained to us afterwards saying they were rude and stingy with the alcohol. We upgraded to the highest alcohol package and feel we did not get our money’s worth. I would say the bar needs improvement. Bree, Cicely, Zita, DJ, Chef and all the servers gave us their all and did a great job but all their hard work went down the toilet because of incompetent bartenders that couldn’t serve alcohol that we paid for! Sad actually. Everything else though, almost perfect. I would highly recommend Emerald for your wedding. Come with a big budget though because you get what you pay for.
