Hosting Your Big Event

Weddings, Parties, Celebrations of Life and More!
An Affordable, Elegant Venue

Nestled in the heart of downtown Waterloo, the Elks Lodge 290 is waiting for you. Filled with marble, tile, Bedford brick, black walnut and stained glass, the Lodge is an ode to the character of old Italian villas. We’ve hosted a variety of events, from wedding ceremonies and receptions to birthday parties to class reunions. The Lodge is ADA compliant and has an elevator to reach every floor.

Get Married at the Elks

We know you have a checklist when searching for your dream wedding venue. At the Lodge, we offer a wide variety of spaces that fit the vision you have for your big day. As an all-inclusive facility, we not only provide the location for your ceremony and reception, but we also provide high-class catering from Gatsby’s (located in-house and oftentimes used as a rehearsal dinner space) and a full-service bar.

The Lodge is also located near a variety of outdoor venues. However, we know that plans can change at the drop of a hat. If you book your reception with the Elks, we will be more than willing to serve as a backup ceremony location in case of inclement weather.
