The Emerson Venue in Rossville Georgia offers complete vendor freedom, allowing couples to choose their own caterers, florists, photographers and other service providers without restrictions. The venue includes a 9,000 square foot indoor space, outdoor grounds, tables, chairs and setup in the rental price, plus on-site lodging for 21 guests across two properties.
Vendor Flexibility at the Heart of Your Planning
We understand how refreshing it is to pick the caterer, florist, photographer, DJ or band you want without being limited to a list. At The Emerson you may choose your own vendors, including the caterer. You can also bring your own alcohol provided it is served by a licensed and insured bartender with one million dollars in liability coverage. We offer vendor recommendations when requested, but never require you to use specific providers.
A Venue Designed for Your Vision
Our indoor event space spans 9,000 square feet, offering ample room for the number of guests and the design you have in mind. Inside, you’ll find a grand stage, an oversized bar and plenty of room to shape the flow of your day, from ceremony to dinner to dancing. Outdoors, the cobblestone patio and pond-backdrop grounds on a ten-acre estate give you a romantic setting for photos or a ceremony.
Transparent Pricing and Straightforward Inclusions
With vendor freedom comes financial clarity. At The Emerson your rental includes chairs, tables, setup and cleanup, no hidden fees for those essentials. The all-day rental runs from 9:30 AM to 11:30 PM, giving you a full day without extra hour-add-ons. You are not required to hire a coordinator, security or extra insurance unless your own vendors or situation demand it.
On-Site Lodging for Your Guests
If you’re bringing people in from out of town, or if you want your day to span an entire weekend. We have on-site lodging that keeps everyone close. The Cabin sleeps up to 13 guests and The Cottage accommodates eight more, giving you 21 total.
