Celebrations
Our on-site Event Planners will help you plan a memorable anniversary celebration, bar mitzvah, or quinceañera. From birthdays and bridal showers to retirement or celebration of life, we’ll make the planning a piece of cake.
Rehearsal Dinners
One of our smaller banquet rooms would make an intimate location for your rehearsal dinner, but think outside the box. You could host a casual gathering in Three Rivers Lodge Restaurant and Bar onsite or plan a catered dinner on the Sunset Deck. You can count on our professional catering staff to put together a memorable menu to mark this special dinner.
Showers
Plan your Bridal or Baby Shower in the intimate Lakeview room featuring floor to ceiling windows bathing your celebration in natural light. We have several other spaces at the Elara Convention Center that would be perfect for an intimate celebration with family and friends as well.
Birthdays
Everyone loves the opportunity for a pool party, so why not plan your birthday party at the Elara Convention Center and take advantage of the pool at the Holiday Inn Crystal Lake?
Anniversaries
There are times in your life that deserve to be marked with a celebration. Reaching a milestone anniversary like your 25th anniversary, 40th anniversary, or 50th anniversary is a cause for a party!
Bar Mitzvah
With friends and family coming from all over to celebrate a bar mitzvah, you’ll enjoy the ease of hosting the celebration and reserving hotel rooms all in one place and offering a Sunday morning brunch before departure.
Quinceañera
Your daughter's 15th birthday marks a timeless rite of passage. Turn her dreams into reality with a grand celebration in the elegant Elara Ballroom. Invite all of your friends and family for the celebration!
Retirement Party
A retirement party not only recognizes the retiree’s long career and contributions to a community, it is a major milestone in a person's life. Kick off the next phase in his or her life with a grand celebration in our ballroom.
Celebration of Life
Pay tribute to a loved one who has passed in an uplifting atmosphere that reflects on the positive memories that contribute to a person’s life story. A celebration of life luncheon will uniquely honor their personality.
