Private Occasions

The Emerson Lakeside Pavilion and Terrace was dedicated in September 2002.  Since then, it has served as the venue for hundreds of private occasions, such as weddings and receptions, corporate functions, black-tie fund raisers, daytime business meetings and public special events.

The red-bricked, lakeside terrace with 4800 sq. ft. covered pavilion space are graced by lovely trees that line the lake's edge.  A 20 ft. lighted water fountain at the lake's center provides the perfect ambiance for a perfect evening.

The Emerson Lakeside Terrace is bordered by the stunning Butterfly Garden, meandering paths, a babbling brook, waterfall and reflecting pond.  Sprinkled throughout the gardens are lighted torches, the sounds of nature and unique statuary and benches.

To assure your gathering is a memorable one, your guests may stroll through the Butterfly Conservatory-a crystal Conservatory alive with 1200 tropical butterflies in free flight.

Each event is individually designed with you in mind.  Call (636) 733-2339 or email either Amy Hammann or Adam Jaschek and the Butterfly House Special Events Department will help create a truly unique experience for you and your guests.
