However, a real turnoff was the N-word used 3 or 4 times, once by an off duty worker (waitress/cook/co-owner?) while I was there. They can't help how the customers talk, but employees, even off the clock? Not cool. It was supposed to be a great night; while my politics is ever-evolving, my family in Iowa had just gotten to high five Don Jr at an event which, whoever I vote for now was darn cool that day! This visit kinda put a damper on our fun. We don't talk that way.

Great coffee for those needing a Latte fix in Ottumwa…read more I had a coffee from The Vine recently while in Ottumwa for work. I have to admit to being a Starbucks junkie normally. I like knowing not only that I will get the same drink every time I order, no matter where I go in the country, but also that I have a place to go to get away from it all and come out smelling divinely like coffee. The Vine prepared a Pumpkin Spice Latte that rivals those I've gotten from the 'bucks. I found myself falling into the cozy warmth of fall with my first sip, kind of like that sensation of flopping back into a leaf pile when I was a kid and fall was at its peak. Find your cozy at The Vine the next time you're in Ottumwa!

My husband and I had our wedding at Emerald Hills in May 2019. From the beginning of the whole…read morewedding planning process in the fall of 2018, Abby, Travis, and the Emerald Hills team were so kind, helpful, and accommodating. They paid very close attention to the details of our vision for our wedding day, were eager to lend super helpful advice, and truly advocated for us when communicating with different vendors throughout the 8 months of planning. Their booking package comes with so many inclusions; there's no need to track down rental tables, table linens, bartenders, recommended vendors, or a bunch of extra hands to help out on wedding day - they had all of these taken care of AND MORE! The beauty and accommodations of the venue & land surrounding the venue were just a cherry on top of the incredible service they provided to us. We heard all night long that it was the most beautiful venue our guests had ever been to, and got just as many compliments on the quality of the staff. They're wonderful and show a ton of integrity. (For example, one of our guests left their watch at the venue. Instead of making anyone drive to the venue to get it, they offered to ship it directly to us, no questions asked.) If you want a wedding planning experience that is smooth, thorough, and SO fun, absolutely book your wedding day with Emerald Hills Events!
