Booked this place after a great food tasting that I had to pay for which is ok. a week latter me and my family went for a mother day brunch which was pathetic paid almost 49$ pp and had such bad food that I was ashamed to present my mother and family since I made them go .while we were there my brother got up to get some meet at one of the stations when he was told no and that he has been up already twice and he won’t serve him any more mind you this is an open buffet brunch I was laved how dare you charge almost 50 $pp and then refuse us service , I ran to mike the event coordinator and by chance the owner was there as well he was more concerned with charging me than listening to what had just happened with his staff at his establishment. All he was able to say was no that didn’t happen no way really?? So I am making up a damn lie then are you kidding me???the food was a joke which I learned latter the chef wasn’t there that day to prepare the food and some of the food seemed to be leftover from the weeding the night before we were served salmon with potatoes , the potatoes were brown , cold , and tasted like old fries .the whole thing was miserable and I had to cancel my wedding reservation which they denied me my deposit back .now how can I trust you for my wedding when you couldn’t pull a mother day party together being denied food at the meet station would have been a disaster at my wedding and considering this place just opened in my backyard I thought he would care more and try and fix this situation but I was wrong the owner was rude wouldn’t return my money and ignored my initial email the day after the party for almost 4 days I would not recommend this place I just don’t trust the owner .

Last July 11, 2015, Me and my husband Mr. Jhoser Javelosa celebrated the most important day of our lives. Truly that moment wass unforgettable and we were the happiest of all. We were very blessed given the chance to have THE ELAN as our official wedding venue wherein everyone were very nice and accommodating. From the preparation of our wedding, we were very happy because the management gave us no stress in choosing the things we wanted especially in helping us to have comfort and more spacious venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. We admired the humility of the owner and his patience upon dwelling on our needs. We were also thankful for all the staff for helping us out on the physical decorations and securing everything was doing good during the celebration. Above all, we never regret in choosing THE ELAN for the packages it offers were worth it. The food itself were the best. Youll have your stomach full after its mouth-watering and beautiful presentation of food. The cook, the waitresses and the all the staffweare very organized and as Filipinos we were very much impressed. The wide variety of food the venue offers will surely bring forth joy to everyone. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Elan for being a part of the success of our wedding celebration. More power to you and may our Almighty Lord bless you all! Love, Mr. & Mrs. Jhoser and Jossanie Javelosa

My fiancé and I threw a brunch for members of our wedding party recently. I want to say that the service was amazing! I mean from the moment that we showed up, till the very end of our event, we were catered to. We chose to bring our own cupcakes from our favorite local bakery, Maria one of our two servers noticed that I was fiddling around with a way to set them up on the dessert table. Without hesitation she recommended some stands that they had in the back. She brought out several options for me to look at and I honestly was thrilled, compared to the stands the shop gave me, these were amazing! Ari and his team were amazingly attentive; they checked in with us and provided a celebrity experience. Maria and Frantz, our second server, were truly a pleasure to work with. In all my moving about I forgot to eat and Maria definitely took notice and made me two plates with a variety of options (the French toast was to die for!) The event surpassed my expectations. Everyone loved the food, which was well prepared and well presented. Just to add a note, were also having our wedding there in a few months and this just reaffirmed our confidence in the fact that we made the right choice in choosing The Elan! We can’t wait for our big day; I think we’re in perfect hands!

Choosing The Elan was absolutely the right choice for us. Our wedding was magical. Ari was extremely pleasant to work with; always with a smile and helping us feel at ease at every meeting and always quick to answer any questions or concerns. We had our Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there and every single part of the wedding was perfect! We had our ceremony held in the Skylight Room; it was a beautiful clear and sunny day which made the lighting in the room just fabulous. We requested that the chairs be set up in the unity circle set up which made the ceremony feel super intimate. Our guests loved it! Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the cocktail hour and reception food were. We had our reception in the Alessandra Room. It was the perfect size for the number of guests we had. We had a couple of requests for our reception room at the last minute and Ari was super quick to make it happen… we are extremely grateful for that, as it completed our vision of the wedding. Special Thank you to Ari, for helping us make our wedding a fabulous one and to the staff for making sure everything ran smoothly that day. We are extremely grateful! Your services will be highly recommended! Thank you thank you thank you!! Kari & Jon Aragon

I can not say enough about our experience at The Elan. We selected The Elan based on a recommendation from a family member who is is the catering business. We valued her opinion for obvious reasons. My dad and I put a lot of time into planning the perfect celebration for multiple family members special birthdays and we wanted to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. Lisa was so amazing to work with every step of the way! She made sure every detail was perfect from the initial planning meeting right through to the end of the party. We had a lot of special requests and we were never made to feel like a burden. In fact, Lisa offered a number of great suggestions that helped bring our vision to life. The day of the party, Dawn was incredible! She handled everything so professionally and was a ton of fun to work with! Dawn took care of all the fine details so that we were able to enjoy the party and have a blast with our guests. People are still talking about what a great time they had and how amazing the food was! I highly recommend The Elan for any special event...I know we will be back for our next celebration!

Choosing The Elan for my Sweet SIxteen was the absolute greatest decision both my Mother and I have made. I can surely say that my sweet sixteen was a dream come true. Working with Lisa was so helpful. From giving us the best advice, to solving any situation, Lisa was the best to work with. In addition, she answered every question and concern we had. She gave us the greatest idea on having our cocktail hour in the same room as our reception. It all worked out perfectly! Another main reason on why we picked the Elan was because of how great their food is. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Our guests enjoyed the food and agreed that Elan has one of the best foods out of all the venues they have gone to previously. I would like to thank Elan and Lisa with all my heart for making my Sweet 16 so special and unforgettable. I would recommend the Elan to anyone and everyone if you plan on having the best night of your life . Thank you once again.
