Above and Beyond Attention and Service

The Elgin Hotel became the perfect venue for our son's wedding. The historical beauty provided an elegant background, and the service was above and beyond anything we expected. When I mistakenly booked the wrong meal, the hotel and restaurant staff added an entirely new service to accommodate us. This required an extra 2-hour trip to get all required supplies and ingredients. Our wedding coordinator from the hotel filled in any and all gaps, and the wedding went off without a hitch. With the hotel and restaurant staff taking care of so many details, it allowed us (family) to enjoy the weekend more than we even imagined. Thank you, Elgin!

Amazing Venue

Staff did an amazing job of answering all of our questions leaving up to the wedding. They had a back up plan if it rained and they were very accommodating. All of our guests said it was the perfect place and it fit our Gatsby/1920a theme! This is definitely a place we will recommend and we also plan on coming back to celebrate anniversaries!
