My husband and I held our reception at Saint Elias and we were very pleased with everything! They were very flexible and ensured our special day went by smoothly. Everyone working the night of our wedding was wonderful! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was throughout the whole evening! Thank you again!

If you’re looking for a venue, look no more. St Elias has everything. Customer service is more than amazing. Food is phenomenal, they were very organised and Brian took all the wedding stress off of us. We ended up having a dream wedding. Highly recommended.
