Very nice venue. Well spaced out, with some of the best lighting in Jersey. The staff is courteous and pretty helpful. Management is very straightforward and punctual. The entry access for the entertainment can be a little cumbersome but nothing bad. The food was well cooked and thoughtfully flavored, meaning it wasn't salty or over saturated with spices. If you're getting married, schedule the whole day, wedding and reception, here, you will not be disappointed

We couldn’t have picked a better venue to host our wedding. The place was beautiful, the food was amazing, the staff is incredible. Everything that you could want or expect from a Venue is offered at The Elan. Ericka responds quickly and is so helpful, Maria was an excellent bridal attendant, Steve was a great Maitre D, Ari the owner has done an excellent job with this location. The Chef won me over at the tasting menu. The wait staff was amazing, all my guest were talking about how friendly and kind they were. Love this place! 5 stars for me.

Came to the wedding here and can’t say anything except that they have not changed in the past few years. I was here in 2018 and it looks to me that nothing has changed. Typical wedding hall and has ample room for a decent sized party. Nothing stands out about it compared to many other banquet halls in the area and competition is tough. They do offer valet parking.

As a bride you feel anxious and stressed about all the details that go into your wedding, David at the Elan helped me through everything. He answered 100 of my questions and has the best staff to help you throughout the day. Chef Chris is so charismatic and positive and puts you immediately at ease, his food is out of this world and I dream about his duck crepes all the time. Steve was our maitred and did an amazing job guiding us through the event and making sure our plates were always full. He was everywhere all the time, absolute magician. This place could use some decorative updating but that did not matter to me when choosing this place. I cared about good food and drinks and got both. I cannot recommend them enough for weddings and parties. This place is the best.

The Elan was fabulous! We were married on 8/28/2022 and I was so impressed. I absolutely see why the chicken and waffles are a top appetizer because they were AMAZING 😍 Our special day was beautiful and we will cherish these memories ❤️

First let me say, the venue was beautiful, food was great, and overall wedding was wonderful. However what was done after is what concerns and angers me. My brother got married in August, immediately caught COVID after honeymoon, was hospitalized, almost didn't make it, to come back from all of that to realize he didn't receive gifts that some of us were told to place in a closet. He calls and is told after a couple months, they donate gifts. Until he found out a couple of those gifts placed in the closet was cash inside cards. So now, he calls back today 11/2/2021 and let them know his attorney is being called. All of a sudden the gifts are there. But no money in any card. Go figure. This is really messed up and I hope the attorney makes an example out of this place. Which ever employee that opened his gifts and stole the money needs to be charged. Crooks

Amazing Hospitality! Great Management! Awesome Service! Great place for Weddings and Bat and Bah Mitzvah's.

Our family and friends had a wonderful time at a rehearsal dinner at Elan. From our initial contact with the venue to the end of the memorable evening the service was fantastic. Many thanks to David for the wonderful place to celebrate, to Anna Maria for taking care of our guests throughout the night and to the rest of the team. The food was really excellent, the room was very nice, and we were able to use the audio video equipment as well. Thank you

If you travel on Route 46 west, and if you happen to be somebody who wants to find a great place to celebrate All Things festive and occasional, then the Elan catering and event Hall is the place to be. They have everything you would want to acquire your accommodations for any event be it a corporate event or a birthday party or even any Festival location that suits the event that day. The food is outstanding, I haven't to try the raised short rib of beef with balsamic jus, and when I cut into it, the meat just falls apart as if though it melted like butter. They know a person's taste buds and make someone have a delicious and wonderful meal to s a v o r! The decorum is beautiful as well as the chandelier and the lighting gear that fits the environment at occasion at the time. So if you ever want a place where you can have your next party or corporate event, the e l a n is somewhere I would recommend definitely. They are very accommodating and they are wonderful people to work with

My husband and I got married on 10/7/22, from the moment we visited The Elan for a tour and sat down with Ari the owner we decided to book them. Ari was very professional and the rest of the staff as well, on the day of our wedding reception Harry was our maitre d, he was very attentive to us the whole time and we had the most perfect reception. Great service and great venue.

My husband and I truly loved having our Baby Shower at The Elan. We had our wedding there 7 years ago and we were fascinated by the excellent staff, food, and service. So fascinated that we had to return to have our baby shower there! It was such am amazing experience. The staff always takes the stress off your special event and are on the top of their game. I have to give a special out to Maria who was in both my events. She is absolutely amazing! As soon as I knew she would be at my baby shower, I felt so much more relieved and calm, and knew the event would be flawless. The food was also amazing and top-notch thanks to Chef Chris. My husband and I feel like the staff treated us like family at The Elan and made both our special events unforgettable. We will be back again!

I did my daughter quince and all my guest were delighted by the excellent service from the staff. The food was amazing, the price is more affordable than most venues. Ari made sure we had a great experience from the first day I met him to the day of the party. Enina help with the planning piece and stay in touch throughout the whole process. Maria was very friendly with my guest. The bartender and the rest of the staff were great. Ryan and Zoe thank you for the beautiful decoration and entertainment. I highly recommend the elan.

I can't say enough good things. Elan hosted our wedding this weekend. They were super friendly and extremely accommodating. Our ceremony and reception ran like clockwork. We were tended to on a constant basis and never needed to ask for anything. The cocktail hour and reception dinner food was amazing. Definitely recommend booking The Elan for all your events

Dark old building.. main ballroom with basement type tile ceilings and depressing. Person I met with was very nice and food smelled good. Price cheaper than most venues at lower end. And good deals on photography and dj add ons. Higher end may as well go somewhere else.

Pros: The food, especially the passing hors d'oeuvre, was good. The venue is nice. The right decor elevates the spaces tremendously. Cons: The bridal sweet was frozen even after we asked several times to put the heat on in a snow storm. During setup, they expected our decorator to sweep the floors. Our event ended at 11:30. However, they wanted us to break down and clean up starting at 11:10 and had their entire service crew setting up at 11:15 for a party that was to take place the next day! No removable vinyl allowed on their very tarnished floors. Just not as accommodating and realistic as you would expect in this type of location.

This place is a great catering hall. The food was amazing. The service was top of the line. They made my daughter's wedding reception unforgettable. I would recommend this catering hall for any event.

Went here for my cousin wedding. It was a cute place. The decorations were simple but elegant. The cocktail hour was ok. They could have provided more hot foods. For dinner, I choose the salmon it was nice but a little salty. The drinks were horrible. I felt like I was drinking juice. I asked for a tequila sunrise with Casa migos and the bartender used another brown tequila. Not sure that was about. But I stopped drinking after that. Even the sparkling wine tasted cheap.

The elan is an amazing place to hold your events. The food is delicious and the staff is amazing. We celebrated my daughters sweet 16 on 11/05/22 and the night went smoothly without a single problem. Shout out to Harry who is the best event manager ever!! He is attentive to every detail and so easy to work with. Erica was super sweet and responsive to all my questions and concerns. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you for making my daughters party so amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue! My wedding was everything I wanted it to be and more. I planned my wedding out of state with a majority of the guests traveling as well. Their all inclusive packages are affordable. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Erica and Harry were absolutely wonderful to work with. We’ve received so many compliments about the food, venue and staff. Thank you for making the day a magical one for me and my family.

We just had our wedding on 12/3/23. The Elan exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable. Maria was our bridal attendant and when i say that she was absolutely incredible, that is an understatement. Harry was amazing and both Erika and him were very responsive and helpful during the whole process. All the guests enjoyed the food and had a great time. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you for making our day memorable.

I celebrated my niece birthday here on Saturday November 18 2023 can I tell you everything went well. The food was great taste delicious also the staff was very hands on I had Harry as the my Host for the party and he was pleasant. This place gets 5 stars from me.
