About Us - The Emerald Event Centers

Meet the Owners

We are so excited to meet you!

Hello!!! We are Hope and Joe Szklarski! Most everyone knows us as the owners of Hope's Perspective Photography in Joplin, we've been in the wedding industry for nearly a decade. When the opportunity arose for us to take over these beautiful venues, we couldn't pass them up!

Listen, we get it! We've been in your shoes. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, and the location is pretty much everything. Let us ensure you why our venues are the right fit for you.
