Emissary is available for private and semi-private events. Below is everything you need to know to get started — and we're always happy to talk through the details directly.
-
How many guests can you accommodate?We can host up to 50–60 guests depending on the layout. Our space is best suited for a cocktail-style event rather than a seated dinner — unless the group is smaller and more intimate, typically under 20 guests.
-
What beverages do you offer?Our full espresso bar, craft beer, and a curated selection of natural and family-owned wines are all available. We don't offer spirits, but we're happy to accommodate you if you'd like to bring your own.Estimated average: $25–$40 per person, or on consumption with minimum
-
What about food?We offer a small menu of bar snacks and small plates, plus an artisanal cheese and charcuterie selection. With 7–10 days advance notice, we can add more substantial hot items — pastas, seafood, and other small-plate options. Our food program is best suited for cocktails and small plates rather than a traditional dinner.Estimated average: $35–$50 per person, or on consumption with minimum
-
Private vs. semi-private — what's the difference?Parties of 24 or more require a private space buyout. On Fridays and Saturdays, the space fee ranges from $1,500–$2,500 for a standard 2.5-hour event.
For semi-private events, a minimum spend applies based on guest count. You'll have a large reserved space, though some regular business may continue during your event. -
How does billing work?Event pricing excludes tax and gratuity. We can bill a single host or split across several hosts. We're also happy to accommodate individual tabs — please note that gratuity will be automatically applied in that case.
-
Music, décor, and the space itself?We're happy to move furniture in or out of the space within reason — keep in mind the marble is heavy. DJs are welcome, or bring your own playlist and we'll handle the rest. Decorations, flowers, and personal touches are always welcome — just let us know in advance so we have time to set up or clear the space properly.
