Phil and his team are amazing. The communication throughout the booking process, planning and on the night was great. My guests and I loved the atmosphere, the vintage vibes and everyone loved the food. Plenty of choices. My party was fabulous, I had a truly memorable night with my family and friends. I highly recommend the Purple Emerald for any event.
