Ellcourt

Make your next event historic.

A site of unmatched elegance, Ellcourt is the perfect venue for a small reception, rehearsal dinner, or wedding ceremony and is a beautiful backdrop for photographs. The space has hosted everything from birthday parties and wedding receptions, to corporate events and special gatherings.

Built in 1899 as a wedding gift for Perry and May Ellwood, the home has been hosting weddings for generations of Ellwoods, and now the DeKalb community. The home is a one-of-a-kind venue filled with architectural details, original finishes and a variety of spaces to create intimate moments and lasting memories.
