Why Choose Us?
We had our wedding at The Elia! It's a beautiful venue with a vintage and modern feel, which is exactly what we wanted! The venue provided so much with their package options which made the planning process nearly seamless. The statement bar was what drew me to the space and all of the beautiful photo locations in and around the venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding!

As soon as we walked in The Elia and met the owner, Brittanie, we knew this was the venue for us. Right in the heart of downtown, The Elia has a gorgeous mix of urban, industrial, and elegant features that are so flexible to fit your vision. Another huge benefit is that The Elia is an inclusive venue, so we didn't need to worry about renting tables or chairs or tablecloths. We highly recommend The Elia for your wedding!

The Elia was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and the staff went above and beyond. As a bride, I didn’t have to worry about a thing all night. They even memorized my drink of choice! The all-inclusive decor was a game changer—it saved us so much money, time, and effort by eliminating the need to buy decor we’d never use again. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue, amazing staff, and a stress-free planning process, definitely book The Elia!
