"I had gone and seen 10+ venues and by the time I got to Elliston I knew it was the one. It's a beautiful venue with a stone manor, ceremony gazebo and lawn, wooden cocktail patio adorned with lights, and reception room with a high ceiling and natural light. However, the real added value are the on-site coordinators. They provided a solid level of service and expertise through the planning process. I was fortunate to be paired with Madeline who is a great coordinator. She provided detailed and prompt responses to my inquiries and ran the day of logistics well. We had an amazing time at our wedding!" - Elaine & Simon - July 8, 2017
