ABOUT Us

Emerald Hills Events is owned by Travis and Abby Ewing. The couple designed the venue together. The journey began with   co-founding the Heritage 1865 hunting lodge, hosting hunters from around the globe. After years of experience, their passion for the hospitality industry bloomed into what Emerald Hills is today. Emerald Hills’ commitment to an effortless process, warm professionalism, and simplistic design make it one of Iowa’s most desired weddings.
