One of most frequently asked questions is “What is the capacity of the building? How many guests am I allowed to have?”

While our all-inclusive package is priced for 100 guests, we can accommodate up to 175 guests for seating, and up to 250 guests for a cocktail style event — making us one of the largest event spaces in Wilmington.

Just your friendly reminder that The Elia is a dog friendly venue.

We know that your fur babies are a part of the family, which means having them be there on your wedding day is important. So whether you want to have them there while you’re getting ready in our suites or to walk down the aisle as a honorary part of your wedding party, we got you covered!

A wedding sign is one of the key featured on your wedding day, why you might ask?

1. To welcome your guests.

2. It will be photographed. So be intentional with the design because this helps set the set the tone for the rest of the day.

3. It’s multifunctional! Use it at your wedding ceremony, then have it relocated to the entrance of your reception area — even better if you have it double signed to swap over between ceremony & the reception

So when it comes to your welcome sign, give your guests a welcome to remember.

Looking for a way to kick off your party? Consider adding a game to your schedule - we love that Kim & John along with their wedding party played a classic round of flip cup. It filled the room with so much energy and was the perfect way to transition from dinner to the reception.
