Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there!

Today, we especially want to celebrate Mrs. Elia herself. A little history behind us — our owner, Brittanie, named the venue “The Elia” after her mother, which makes this day especially meaningful to our team and business.

We are so grateful for everything she does and the love, strength, and inspiration she brings to The Elia every day. She has taught us the true meaning of serving others with a heart for service and a passion for hospitality.

One of the best parts of choosing an all-inclusive package? So many of the details are already taken care of for you.

Items like easels, card boxes, and other event essentials (that you may never use again) are included, helping you save on rentals and extra decor costs along the way.

That means you can focus your budget and energy on the pieces that feel the most personal to you! Like a custom welcome sign with beautiful planted florals that truly make your event feel one of a kind.

“The Elia was the perfect wedding venue for our recent spring wedding. The professionalism and customer service from the team was top notch from the day we requested to set up a tour.
During the initial touring phase of other venues it was really disheartening to feel like you were just a number, and sometimes tours felt rushed and some of your big questions felt unanswered, but not at The Elia. There’s a whole team to support you all along the way and walk you through every logistic of what you can expect and what they need from you. Everything was so clearly laid out with their packages it made it extremely easy to budget and more importantly stick to the budget.
We went with the all inclusive package The Elia offered and it was by far the best decision we made throughout the planning process. With the package including most major vendors, the only work I had to do was book a photographer and hair and makeup vendor (which they included suggestions for those as well). The beautiful bar, and all the additions they made to the space over my year of planning really helps elevate the space and make the design details extremely easy. All of the vendors within the package are amazing too!
The location cannot be beat with nice hotels right around the corner, and night life down the road for an after party. I received so many compliments on the venue from friends and family after the wedding. I could not thank The Elia team enough for making our wedding so special!”

Who says wedding dessert has to be cake?

From a dessert cart filled with a variety of treats to cotton candy stations, nostalgic ice cream sandwiches, and donut walls, interactive desserts are stealing the spotlight! Not only are they fun for your guests, but they can double as a unique design moment for your space.

Which one would you choose?
