Elk Point Events Reviews

Elk Point was such an amazing place to get married! The venue it self was breathtaking, but working with the staff was amazing.
The ease of having a set price for food, venue, and linens, was a life saver! They were so easy to work with, and we never had a doubt that it wouldn't be perfect!

We held our daughter's wedding at Elk Point this past July. The Elk Point Crew were fabulous and the setting spectacular. We had many out of town guests and they all said that this venue was one of the most beautiful wedding sites they had been too. People from the area were blown away by this gem as well.
Thank you Brent and Ginny for sharing your beautiful facility with us on this special day.

What an excellent place to get married! It was a beautiful day! The staff was so helpful answering all my questions, and suggestions for my big day! We had 3 large tents setup from event rents and the staffs knowledge on them has shown that they have experience. The view was amazing in all the photos, it really made it all worth while to see how relaxed all my guests were and how much fun everyone had. I couldn't thank them enough for how excellent the day went. Wish it didn't go by so fast!

I had an amazing experience! The view was amazing and the staff was great. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They set up everything the way we had talked about and everything was done on time. Everyone was extremely helpful and I would recommend Elk Point to all my friends and family!

We enjoyed the beautiful view for such a low price! It was nice to have the tables, and chairs setup already when we came on sight. I would highly recommend Elk Point for a wedding because the staff and family running the event center is so helpful. Plus the view makes it that much easier of a choice.

This place was absolutely beautiful, overlooking lake Coeur d Alene and the golf course. The staff was fabulous and attentive and VERY affordable! I hope to hold other events there.

What a gorgeous view of the lake. We visited in the winter with loads if snow but had an excellent showing and the manager was upfront genuine and extremely easy to talk with. Excellent experience.

Beautiful view that can't be beat, got married there July, 2016. They do have a lot of rules, but nothing that I thought was overly unreasonable, and we didnt have any issues that I was made aware of. The one complaint I do have, is that they ran out of our beer selection. They let us choose a couple of beers from their list, so we chose coors light($2 a bottle) and a different beer ($6 a bottle). We ran out of the cheaper beer well before the end of the night. Therefore, people were forced to switch to the more expensive one. I feel that if I am unable to provide my own alcohol, and am paying for it from their list, they should at least make sure they have an adequate stock on hand. Other than that my wedding was seriously the best day ever, and they were very helpful in the planning process and quickly answered my questions and concerns. They were accomodating to my special requests. I still have people commenting to me about how amazing my wedding venue was.

We scheduled our wedding in Aug 2019 a year in advance of the 2020 wedding date and paid the $2500 non refundable deposit. Then Covid hit, we lost our local business and were not sure at that time, 4.5 months prior to the wedding date that we could even have the wedding at Elk pt. on the actual wedding date planned due to Covid restrictions for businesses, and how many could be in a gathering. I contacted the owner to ask if he had any help or plan for couples during this time, maybe let them out of the contract due to Covid, or change the payment due date(we did not ask to pay less or anything) The only thing he could offer was to waive the $50 fee to change the wedding to another date. This didn't seem very helpful and we knew we were not dealing with a team player. We canceled because of funding at the time (just needed an extra month due to our loss during Covid) this again was in April 2020 and the wedding in Aug 2020. I asked if he could refund any amount ( even $50 would have been somewhat of a good will action,) back from the non-refundable deposit, due to the crazy times. I was declined. I've since learned, and figure enough, that that wedding date was filled and that means my deposit was free money to this event venue as I'm sure a $2500 deposited was required as well to the next happy couple. Very disappointed with the lack of integrity even though they said they were sorry for our situation, there was no believable action. Just beware, be sure you çan afford the loss if something comes up due to unknown events.

Leading up to the wedding, the staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. However once the wedding day arrived, Ginny was an absolute nightmare. She was rude to our guests, completely inflexible, and totally unprofessional. It is clear that this woman hates working with weddings or people in general. She is entirely in the wrong business. This is so unfortunate because the venue is absolutely beautiful and overlooks the lake (although they could spruce up the property- it definitely feels like this is their "side" business and don't put much effort in). Overall, you pay $$$ for the spectacular view, not the service.

BRIDES BEWARE!!!
The only thing good about this venue was the DJ and our Bartender/ Officiant. We are bummed to never be coming back but the owner is so disgusting we will never be giving them our money again. I wish I had a dollar for every negative comment we heard about them and maybe we’d make back the amount we paid them. Hindsight is 2020 I will never recommend any bride to have their wedding here. Very unprofessional as you can probably tell based off the reviews as well as what they will reply to them. They clearly don’t take criticism well. Don’t open your home to being a venue and ask for as much money as you do and treat your client’s family and guests like you’re doing them a favor. They are not worth your $12,000 for 8 hours. Not personable whatsoever, strictly care about profits. The million dollar view they claim to have is not any excuse to treat anyone how you want. Our wedding was amazing thanks to all our vendors other than the venue.
