Elves didn't have free will in the sense that Men did, since their fate (and the fate of the Valar in Ea) was already determined by the music of the Ainur. But this doesn't necessarily mean that every little detail of an elf's life was already mapped out. They just didn't have the power to shape their own destiny in the way that men did.
