The Emerson
Upcoming EventAbout The Emerson
The Emerson is a modern micro-venue in the heart of downtown Lake Wales, Florida, thoughtfully designed for couples who want a beautiful, stress-free celebration with the people who matter most. We host micro weddings, rehearsal dinners, elopements, bridal showers, welcome parties, and post-wedding gatherings for events of up to 48 guests.
What makes The Emerson unique is our small, hands-on team of three who work closely with every couple from start to finish. You’re never passed off or lost in the process. We offer genuine support, thoughtful guidance, and attention to detail every step of the way. Our clean, neutral space serves as a flexible canvas that allows your vision to shine, whether your style is classic, modern, or romantic.
At The Emerson, we believe smaller celebrations create deeper connections, and we’re honored to help couples create meaningful moments that feel personal, intentional, and unforgettable.
