Planning an event in the Galleria area? Our facilities are available for day, week or longer-term rental to the community! We host business, civic, educational and social events. Schedule a visit to tour Emerson’s beautiful facility, including:

Ideal for weddings, civil unions and concerts, our Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Grand Sanctuary seats over 400 people in a traditional church setting and makes a lovely setting for individual and group photos. It offers spectacular accoustics, state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, raised stage with two lecturns, choir area and a private staging room on each side. The space also features a foyer, restrooms with lounge, dressing rooms and (just in case) our cry room for fussy babies is equipped with speakers so their mommies and daddies won’t miss a thing!

The lofty, picturesque Clara Barton Gathering Place is very bright and open making it another great choice for smaller weddings, civil unions, art exhibits and presentations.

The large picture windows throughout Westwood Hall offer shady views of our lush, wooded gardens, yet still allow for darkening of the room for visual presentations. Westwood Hall features projection equipment, a small raised stage with lectern, large warming kitchen* with serving counter, two separate meeting spaces, and private restrooms with lounge—excellent for receptions, art exhibits, lectures and presentations.

Our lush, shaded gardens are a perfect setting for unforgettable photos. We have on-site parking for 200 cars and all of our buildings are wheelchair accessible.

All that plus frequently below-market rental rates—what a find! Contact Business Manager Karen Van Horn to arrange a tour. Karen will be happy to answer any questions about our facilities and rental rates. Click here to email Karen, or give her a call at (713) 782-8250, extension 126.

* Please note that Emerson Church does not provide catering. However, renters are allowed to have their events catered by outside vendors. Here in the Galleria area, there are many fine catering companies very close by.
