Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Elara overlooks charming Lake Acorn, and its location in the Northwest Chicago suburbs is convenient for both local guests and out-of-towners, who may wish to have a peaceful home base in between city excursions.
- Their well-appointed ballroom features a tasteful neutral color palette, and warmly lit ceiling and walls. Moveable partitions allow the space to accommodate celebrations both intimate and grand.
- Your in-house catering team offers a huge selection of customizable menu options, including some really fun add-ons, like the "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", where guests can snack on warm pretzels, Crackerjacks, and roasted peanuts.
