enue 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.

Our guests especially loved the complimentary glass of champagne before the ceremony :). We highly recommend The Elia for your wedding!!
