I officiated a wedding at the Elks Lodge recently for a close family friend. At first glance, the lodge does not look like the place you would have a fancy party, but there is so much potential if you have the time and patience to work with the venue. The views from the back of the lodge are breathtaking. There is an area where wedding ceremonies take place that looks out into the beautiful mountains. It really is gorgeous. The main hall is a nice size. You can easily fit 150 probably up to 250. I am not sure what the actual limit is. Or friend's wedding had just over 100 and there was a ton of room. During the rehearsal (3pm) and on the night of the wedding, there were deer that came down into the fields....so beautiful. The staff said they deer are regularly there every afternoon. The Food Our friend's wedding was buffet style and the food was good. We had a chicken Alfredo pasta, salad, mac and cheese, and bread service. There was a cash-only bar that according to my wife, had good drinks. The Staff The only member of the staff that I worked with was Linda. She was amazing and was so patient with our party. I believe she is one of the head members at the Elk's club, and she really just tried to make the best out of every situation on the day of the wedding. We had a few schedule issues that came up and she did great working with all the different personalities. Overall, depending on the vibe you are looking for with your event, the Elks Lodge is a good choice. There is a ton of parking, the offer food and all of the table and chair rentals are included. read more

*******Buyers beware! My bride and I had our wedding there. The staff was great until the day before the actual ceremony. We arrived at 3 pm on a Friday to find a Rv parked in front of the right side windows, which blocked the beautiful view. I asked Kim M. the Events Coordinator if the Rv would be moved she simply stated "that we have other things that go on in the Elks Lodge besides weddings". I had to talk to the folks that owned the Rv, which were very nice and they moved it for us. I believe this set off a pissing match between myself and Kim. The day of the wedding We had 135 guests and Kim M. did not have the bar or dining hall staffed effectively or was it efficient. It took everyone 45 minutes to cycle through the buffet line (the staff allowed one line only) that was supposed to be a taco bar containing shredded beef and shredded chicken. Instead they served us ground beef with no chicken in sight. My bride had asked about the chicken and the kitchen manager became very hostile and said we did not order chicken. The menu clearly states shredded beef and shredded chicken for the taco bar option.The bar was not set-up in time and we had to request the tea, coffee and water that we paid for and should have been placed out before the ceremony. Thus these delays pushed our entire reception behind schedule. The rooms that are supposed to be set aside for people to get ready in are a joke. My Groomsmen and I walked in to the one that was supposed to be set aside for us and found two gentlemen playing pool. They were asked if they could finish their game and leave, They simply stated members first and continued on making rude remarks. I thought that was pretty disrespectful. After a brief argument the gentlemen decided they should leave. My bride and her bridesmaids could not enter the other room because Kim and the lodge treasurer decided that they needed to count cash at that time. I observed both sitting at the bar for an hour before hand. I believe the Elks Lodge has a hard time deciding if they want to be a lodge for members or a wedding venue. I believe Kim and her staff failed at managing both on our big day and caused us extra stress that did not need to be there. read more

Have eaten there before many times. They had a German cook who was good and a really good draw..people came from as far as Phoenix and beyond to eat there. Then the German guy left and the place went downhill fast. I ate there today and it was like all the other times. The food is ok, but overpriced. Had fish and chips today for $10. Got fish, chips, vegetable and slaw. Wait was unbelievably long. On my way home, I passed Granny's who advertised fish and chips for $8. and you can bet the wait time was short and the fish equally good. Who orders fish and chips and wants vegetables? Our wait time was a good 45 minutes. Fortunately we were with another couple so it wasn't too bad but as a place to eat? Pass it by. read more
