Thanks to the Emeline team and our vendors for making our wedding weekend a true fairytale!!” – Erin Cody – 5.0 Stars – Reviewed 12/14/2024 – October 2024 wedding

“A Seamless and Exceptional Experience at Emeline from start to finish, working with Hotel Emeline was an absolute pleasure, and that is largely due to their incredible team. Cornelious, the Director of Catering, was exceptional throughout the planning process. He was attentive, organized, and always a step ahead, making sure every detail was thoughtfully executed. On the wedding day, after some last-minute adjustments during the rehearsal, he ensured everything was updated seamlessly, relaying all changes to his team with precision. His presence throughout dinner service provided such peace of mind—he truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The banquet team at Hotel Emeline is nothing short of top-tier. Kaitlin, the Banquet Director, and Brooke, the Captain, ran an impeccable service, making sure every guest was well taken care of and enjoying themselves. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a venue with an outstanding team that genuinely cares about their clients and guests, Hotel Emeline is it. The level of service and hospitality they provide is unmatched, and I can’t recommend them enough!”- Lea M Reviewed 03/05/2025 – 5.0 Stars – February 2025 wedding
