“The Elia is the coolest and most unique venue that we visited at the beginning of our planning journey. As soon as we walked in 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. Our photos are STUNNING. Another huge benefit about The Elia venue… we didn't need to worry about renting tables or chairs... We highly recommend The Elia for your wedding!!
