    The Emerald Union was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Cindy, her communication was quick, resourceful, and pleasant. The venue itself is spacious, stunning, and highly adaptable - Cindy did everything in her power to make sure our vision came to life with the decor, and the wedding planning process was a breeze thanks to her transparency on pricing and ability to create a calm, stress-free environment. The venue includes most things you need, and Cindy's attentive service ensured everything ran smoothly and looked amazing on the big day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and we highly recommend The Emerald Union to any couple looking for a beautiful, adaptable venue with top-notch service.
