Happy couple at The Elia in Downtown Wilmington

“We had our wedding at The Elia in Downtown Wilmington! It was a beautiful venue with a vintage and also modern feel, which is exactly what we were going for!"

The venue provided so many of the details with their package options which made the planning process nearly seamless. The statement bar was what drew me to the space and all of the beautiful photo locations in and around the venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding!”
