We used The Elia for our wedding on 3/15/25 & can not recommend them enough! They were only the second venue we toured & from the moment Kenzie showed us around we knew The Elia was the perfect place for us to host our reception.
The staff at The Elia were incredible & so easy to work/communicate with. From the initial booking through the planning process to the day of we were impressed by their professionalism. They went above & beyond to make our day perfect.
We loved the all-inclusive aspect while also allowing us to make the reception unique to us. The space is gorgeous & the atmosphere was amazing.
We loved hosting our reception at the Elia & recommend them for anyone looking to host the perfect wedding in the Wilmington area!
The Elia is the coolest and most unique venue that we visited at the beginning of our planning journey. As soon as we walked in and met the owner, Brittanie, we knew this was the venue 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. Another huge benefit is that The Elia is an inclusive venue, so we didn't need to worry about renting tables or chairs or tablecloths. Our guests especially loved the complimentary glass of champagne before the ceremony :). We highly recommend The Elia for your wedding!!
