My cousin was married on these grounds and worked with the Elkington Events staff for an outdoor summer wedding in the age of the pandemic. Note this wasn't my wedding, this is simply my point-of-view as an attendee at this summer outdoor event.
Elkington's grounds include a scenic area overlooking a lake and large outdoor spaces for tents. One of the most memorable things about Elkington was how delicious the food was. I am so conditioned that all wedding food is absolutely terrible, but the buffet here was outstanding. Between the fresh seafood, five star crab cakes and nice selection, everyone was happy and full with dinner. Finding a venue with food this good is a rarity.
Honestly, I can't stop thinking about the fact that there's no bathrooms here. Despite the physical wedding being so elegant and southern, they ended up renting "luxury" bathroom trailers. But it was never truly a comfortable situation. As for the couple, they were super happy with everything. I could see the staff working hard and having a big dedication to the couple and their needs. The bartending staff was outstanding and truly knew how to make a drink the right way. We had a nice night filled with many memories! read more
