Emerson [Lounge]
A building nestled in a wooded setting in Saugatuck, Michigan — indoor and outdoor spaces combining an accessible location with the seclusion of a private retreat.
Emerson Lounge is a moody, design-forward event space in Saugatuck, Michigan — a building nestled within a wooded setting, just one minute from the highway exit. With both indoor and outdoor spaces and capacity for up to 100 guests, Emerson combines the convenience of an accessible location with the seclusion of a private retreat.
Dark walls, brass fixtures, and warm, low light give the lounge a speakeasy sensibility tailor-made for elevated, cocktail-centric gatherings — rehearsal dinners, milestone parties, corporate socials, and after-hours wedding receptions. Craft cocktails and a thoughtfully stocked bar sit at the center of every event, supported by The Grant Collection's catering, decor, and planning teams. For hosts who want atmosphere over square footage and a room that sets the mood before the first drink is poured, Emerson Lounge is an unforgettable West Michigan event space.
