About
A family house for celebrations
Emerald Crest was built by the Nwachukwu family in 2016 on the belief that Owerri deserved a venue as generous as its people.
Our story
From a family plot to Owerri's ballroom
For years the Nwachukwu family hosted every wedding, christening and homecoming in the compound of their family house. When the guest lists grew past the compound walls, they built a hall next door. That hall became the Grand Ballroom, and the compound garden became the Garden Terrace.
Today Emerald Crest hosts more than eighty events a year, from the biggest weddings of the Christmas season to quiet committee meetings on weekday mornings. It is still run by the family, with a team of thirty eight full time staff.
The Grand Ballroom opens with its first wedding, for 700 guests.
The Garden Terrace and pavilion are added.
Two synchronised generators replace the old set.
The Boardroom Suite opens for meetings and trainings.
Our 640th event, and new cooling in the ballroom.
