A Word from Fellow Event Planners

“My stay at Emerald Grande was phenomenal.”

“The customer service was excellent in every area. The catering and hospitality service for our family reunion was top-notch and a flawless experience. The process of securing accommodations and setting up the banquet was great. There were no questions left unanswered, and all requests were handled in a timely manner. I will definitely be back in the near future. ”
