Don't look further, this just stop here!

My wedding was international. I had guests from multiple states, countries, and continents. The Elms was a perfect getaway for us to get back together and enjoy this special event. Lacee and Tori offered great guidance and helped me a lot during this journey. The food, flawless. Even my guests with the pickiest taste enjoyed it. I will never forget how magical my wedding was at this venue and the rooms were awesome. If you're considering, go for it, it's a great option.

Beautiful venue year round!

We had been to a wedding at The Elms in the summer and it was beautiful. Our December wedding was even better! They decorate the venue beautifully for winter, and our guests were very impressed with the rooms, the amenities (including the indoor pool), and the food! Would highly recommend!

Better than a dream

We knew we wanted The Elms from the beginning, and they were the only venue we toured. It made it so easy for us and our guests to have hotel accommodations & the event all in the same space. They provide/ handle a lot of the little things like linens, serving ware, glassware, catering, bar tending, etc. The food was wonderful for both the rehearsal and reception dinner, and the staff was amazing! The only issues we ran into were guests had trouble booking on our block using the website and there was a small mix up on when we wanted dinner served, but it was quickly and easily resolved. We can never fully express how amazing our wedding was; we can’t thank Tori, Lacee, and the rest of The Elms Staff enough. Everyone kept telling my husband how calm I seemed all day and it’s absolutely because of how amazing The Elms was to us.
They also surprised us with a bottle of Blue Champagne outside the door the morning of and a wonderful gift bag of some of our favorite snacks in our room at the end of night. We both thought this was a beautiful little touch and greatly appreciated all the tiny details they make happen.
