Step 1

Contact us!

Contact Ryan to learn how the Elgin Area Convention and Visitors Bureau helps couples with their wedding planning process

Many don’t know this but the Elgin Area Convention and Visitors Bureau helps couples with their wedding planning process. Being a partner to many businesses, we have close relationships with the wedding venues in Elgin and in our 10 other surrounding communities. We know prices, capacity and amenities, so you can stop spending hours on the phone and online, researching and compiling information because we already have it! Plus, we make getting you that information easy, by meeting with couples one-on-one, over the phone, or through email. If you’re ready to make this first step, send us an email!

Step 2

Review the Options

After we compile a list of options based on your wants and needs; you’ll want to sit down and review what options you like the most. Letting us know which ones you like best helps us with the next step, touring.

Step 3

Touring

Once you’ve provided us with a list of venues we will ask for your availability, and from there begin to arrange site visits. Knowing which venues you want to see the most helps us when scheduling these tours to make sure you’re seeing everything you want to.
