Welcome to Emerald oX!

We are so excited that you are here. Truly. I wanted to introduce the faces behind this company. We are three women- two that are thirty, flirty, and totally thriving, and one that is ‘rocking’ the late twenties (me). We all lived in Atlanta at some point in our lives, graduated from the greatest little university in America, Hail Southern, and ended up here in Augusta with our young & fresh families.

So why Emerald oX? 

I’m sure you’ve been there before. Picturing your future and wondering what the next big thing would be? I found myself coming back to this concept in my daydreams and prayers: a space to gather for the large and small groups, to educate the community about specialty coffee and the impact it can have. It’s in this imagined space that I’ve created amongst my closest friends, bringing my love of coffee and excitement around wedding celebrations together while helping people locally + around the world. What if this were a real space, a public collaborative space expanding that joy for not just me but as many people as we can fit (while socially distanced of course). I thought to myself, Yeah, that’d be cool. Then I moved on.  

I moved on until, one day while I was continuing my obsession of looking at vacant buildings, having extremely coincidental conversations with people, or confirming things I had been dreaming to myself- I realized, I was getting a significantly less amount of negative responses in my feedback. 

So here we are. 

A dream coming to fruition.  At a time unlike any other.  A time of unrest and unease.  A time of what ifs.  A time that the people of Augusta and beyond craves community.  A time that we need joy. My love for coffee started when I spent a semester in Zimbabwe (a story for another post). It was in my time spent around morning coffee and afternoon tea time that I saw these joy-filled souls make much of the little they had. They taught me what true joy looked like. Community. Having your people surrounding you. In this time of CoVid, that seems like a far fetched idea; in reality, it is the perfect time for us to support each other. We need each other to get through this and the future unknowns to come. Whether it is the stranger getting married the weekend before you or the person six feet away from you sipping coffee, we need each other. So here we are, starting something bigger than we can imagine (or currently fund) and we are truly pumped for it.

We are wedding planners & coffee gurus + graphic designers + criminal justice enthusiasts, and we have a mission to curate joy with every cup and with every event. So whether it’s a bigger production or a small joyous occasion, we have you covered.

Stay tuned for what is coming!

With joy,
