Best day of our life!

We had our wedding here in June and it was truly magical. We worked with the day of coordinator Tori and she was amazing, I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work the day of and beforehand. The venue is stunning, historical, magical, and timeless. This is the place to go if you want a classy and beautiful wedding venue. The food was great, service was amazing, and worth every penny.

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!
