"I have been to the Elks lodge many times but this occasion was for a luncheon following my husband's funeral. The arrangements were made with Ronda. She was very caring & helpful. Made suggestions that were aimed toward making any decisions very easy. On the day of the luncheon everything was taken care of - all my family & friends had to do was eat the excellent food, look at the pictures of my husband that were on display & share memories. The staff made the day easier on everyone that attended."

— Jackie Naylor

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Our new cook is out of this world!!!! The dinner and dance benefit was successful. Can't wait for the next one. Would love to see the band back that had the very young drummer that replaced his dad soon after he passed away. He learned a lot from his daddy."

— Belinda Thompson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We chose to have our wedding reception at the Elks for a few reasons. The Elks provides their own food which eliminated the need for a caterer, they let you rent whatever decorations they have on hand, and they are so very easy to work with. We had about 200 guests and they fit extremely comfortably with in the venue. I would definitely recommend this place for your wedding reception!"

— Danica McBride
