A Wedding Venue That Feels Like Home

Be immersed in a blissful wedding celebration at our beautiful venue and estate in Missouri.

Emerson Fields in Central-Missouri

The Perfect Wedding Destination

Nestled right in the center of Columbia, Kansas City, and St. Louis, our elegantly modern, white wedding venue offers a gorgeous and conveniently located destination to host your wedding day or your full wedding weekend.

  • "Emerson Fields will become your new home away from home. Steve and Amelia do everything to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease especially if you are traveling to EF. We had family come from Chicago, Arkansas, Texas and Nebraska!"

    -Amanda, an EF bride from Chicago, IL

  • "This entire place is set up so you can make it uniquely your own. This is a wedding venue that is as equally stunning when it’s completely empty as it is when it’s fully decorated."

    - Jeanette, an EF bride from Missouri

  • "We were nervous just with it being in another state. You guys were always in constant communication. It really helped us to feel that we were always informed and moving in the right direction! We also felt that we were treated more as friends than “clients”, which we loved!"

    -Katelyn, an EF bride from Illinois

  • “The venue space is especially unique with different ceremony options and a beautiful main area to hold the reception. It is sure to make any brides vision come to life!”

    - Kaitlin, an EF bride from St. Louis, Missouri
