About

On WeddingWire since 2018

An opulent venue deep in the vibrant center of downtown Mount Clemens, Michigan, the Emerald Theatre is the ideal setting for an alternative wedding experience. Dating back to 1921, this renovated theatre is bursting with romantic character and historic charm. Originally a grand movie palace, the theatre has evolved into a haven for rockstars and showstopping performers. A tasteful blend of brick and leather, this stylish space has played host to artists such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Featuring opera boxes and tiered cabaret-style seating, this is the ideal space for throwing a spectacular event.

Facilities and Capacity

From movies to Vaudeville to rockstar performances, the Emerald Theatre is no stranger to electric experiences. Originally designed by legendary architect C. Howard Crane, this century-old venue found a new lease of life in 2016. Lovingly renovated and restored, this 23,000 square-foot theatre can hold up to 1,620 across its balconies, mezzanines, and main floor. The venue can be easily customized to suit any wedding size with comfortable seating. Couples can greet friends and family with a custom message on the outside marquee before welcoming them inside for cocktails on the balcony. On the main stage, couples can share their first kiss as newlyweds to the applause of their loved ones before the space is transformed into a banqueting hall. The exclusive Rock Room offers atmospheric lighting, plush leather interiors, and a private bar, ideal for wedding parties and intimate gatherings.

Services Offered

The Emerald Theatre team is always excited to throw the next memorable event with all-inclusive wedding packages fully customized to the Couple's needs. Every inch of the venue is ready to be personalized and adapted to any bespoke event, from wedding receptions on the mezzanine level to a delicious dinner in the main theatre. Each package includes a get-ready room for the wedding party, event planning, and clean-up services. Guests can also enjoy expertly crafted cocktails from the venue's talented bar staff. Options for a limited bar or an open bar are available, along with access to house liquors, beers, and wine.

Simply The Best!

We were the poster child for the COVID engagement, and spent nearly 24 months engaged due to the pandemic. To top it off it was an LGBT+ wedding. So our stress/fears were high about the entire process. As the spring of 2021 came about we realized that we were going to likely be able to finally put on our wedding, and after looking at dozens of venues, we knew the second we walked into the Emerald it was THE PERFECT spot for our wedding.

The team there was attentive to our every need, and the best thing I can share is that from the owner, to our amazing coordinators, to the servers, every single person seemed to truly and deeply care about making sure our special day was truly that (that you will not find almost anywhere else in our experience). If you are looking for a place that will deliver a unique and wonderful atmosphere that will leave your family and friends talking about your wedding for years to come, this is the place.

On a technical level, we had a lounge singer for the cocktail hour, a live band for the reception, and performed the ceremony right there as well, in addition to having all of our photos taken prior to the ceremony. It was all handled seamlessly and our guests raved about what a great "flow" the entire day had to it! Their teams pulled off all those moving parts like the pros they are!

Also, the food from D'Amatos was unbelievable!!!! The shrimp, the beef, the rice balls, all of it was truly great and the staff there also did a truly remarkable job even at our tasting menu appointment.

We just keep hoping one of our friends decide to get married there too so we can experience it guests!

Absolutely amazing!

Great accommodations for any size budget! They will work with you to make your dream wedding come true! Wedding was 2-2 (the day of the big snowstorm) and the venue called a couple days before offering to postpone if I chose to, but assuring me they were ready for my big day! Great communication and great staff! Couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Thank you guys for making my wedding amazing!!
