A Community of Purpose

founded by shared values


Emerald Hour is the largest organization for sustainable wedding professionals in the US and the second largest of its kind in the world.

Based in Washington State, our vendors from all across the Pacific Northwest share a collective belief that weddings can be both beautiful and mindful.

Mindful of the place we get married in, of the people we choose to celebrate with, and of our impacts on this earth — all while creating truly extraordinary events.

Whether you’re an industry professional seeking connections with like-minded people, or a nearlywed searching for ways to reduce waste while designing the wedding of a lifetime, we’re glad you’re here.
