The Benefits of a Wedding Venue with On-Site Accommodations
Envision a wedding weekend where every detail falls effortlessly into place. Where you and your loved ones can relax, celebrate, and create cherished memories together. It's the reality when you choose a wedding venue with on-site accommodations. At Emerson Fields in Missouri, we specialize in creating unforgettable experiences for couples and their loved ones. From the serene surroundings to the cozy lodging option of Emerson Suites, our venue offers a seamless blend of convenience and charm, ensuring that your special day is everything you've ever dreamed of and more.
Top 5 benefits of selecting a wedding venue with lodging:
1. More space to relax on the wedding day
One of the top advantages of choosing a wedding venue with on-site accommodations like Emerson Fields is the instant relaxation it brings to the couple, wedding party, and family. Our serene surroundings and comfortable lodging options at Emerson Suites create an atmosphere where couples or their guests can unwind and truly enjoy their special day without the stress of commuting to and from different locations. With accommodations just steps away from the ceremony and reception spaces, couples can immerse themselves in the joy of their wedding celebration, knowing that everything they need is conveniently within reach. Most wedding venues only let you into the space for a few hours, making you feel rushed throughout one of the most beautiful days of your life.
At Emerson Fields, we invite you to slow down, enjoy the moment, and have a space to unwind. We offer two dressing suites in our main venue so that our couples and their wedding party can get ready on-site. Emerson Suites is our 14-person spacious lodging, conveniently located near the main venue. Our couples have used this space for a bridal party retreat after the wedding rehearsal, a space for grandparents to stay before the wedding, a location for hair and makeup on the morning of the wedding, and endless other options.
“The convenience of being able to stay just steps from the venue is something you can not get anywhere else. I could not have dreamed up a better experience. ”
2. Spend time with loved ones in a comfortable setting
Whether you need a tranquil spot for the bridal party to get ready, a peaceful naptime haven for the flower girl, or a comfortable gathering place for grandparents before the ceremony, our lodging is only steps away from the main venue. Selecting a wedding venue with on-site accommodations means your family and loved ones won’t be standing around idly waiting for the ceremony. They can have comfortable conversations, get out a deck of cards, watch the big game, or simply connect over coffee while they wait their turn for pictures or getting ready. We love offering Emerson Suites as a separate, exclusive space for loved ones to relax on the wedding day.
“There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out, eat and relax, and featured even better sleeping arrangements. Above and beyond on bathrooms for getting ready on the big day! They thought of everything!”
3. Getting ready
One of the most cherished moments of the wedding day is getting ready with your closest friends and family by your side. A wedding venue with on-site accommodations provides the perfect setting for these precious moments, offering ample space for the bridal party to prepare and pamper themselves before the ceremony.
At Emerson Fields, we provide spacious dressing rooms inside the main venue for getting ready spaces, but when our couples also book Emerson Suites, they get even MORE space for getting ready. With amenities like well-lit mirrors and picturesque backdrops, our accommodations ensure that every member of the wedding party feels pampered and prepared for the big day ahead. Plus, with Emerson Suites near the main venue, our bridal parties love having even more space to spread out and freshen up. With plenty of room to unwind, getting ready becomes a stress-free and enjoyable part of the wedding experience at our weekend wedding venue.
Emerson Suites boasts a spacious living area of approximately 2,000 sq. ft., providing ample room for your group to relax and enjoy their time together. With living areas, a full kitchen, a dining area, three spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a utility room with a washer and dryer, and a charming front porch, our accommodations offer everything you need for a comfortable and convenient stay.
Emerson Fields’ main venue hosts two separate dressing suites, providing space inside the main venue for the wedding party to get ready. The upstairs dressing suite has a full makeup bar with optimal lighting, seating, hooks for dresses, and an en suite bathroom with a shower. Our downstairs dressing suite holds a comfortable sectional couch, TV with a gaming system, a closet for hanging suits or dresses, and an en suite bathroom.
