This was the best wedding venue we could have ever chose. The food was so good. All of the food on our guests plates were empty! Not to mention the venue itself is gorgeous. Their staff was 10/10 to work with and went above and beyond what I expected. If I could do it all over again I would not change a thing!

We were thrilled with our wedding venue at Elks Tower Events. Throughout the planning process, Sabrina and her team were extremely responsive, answering all our questions promptly and helping guide us through decisions with their expertise. On the big day everything came together beautifully - the ballroom looked gorgeous with the lighting and decor, and all the behind-the-scenes coordination went off without a hitch so my husband and I could relax and enjoy celebrating with our guests. Having the catering and day-of coordination included in the venue package was such a help. We truly appreciated Sabrina and the Elks Tower staff making our wedding day stress-free and magical in their lovely, all-inclusive venue. It was a beautiful 'one stop shop' that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them!
