  Ernie and the staff at the Elk's Lodge were fantastic! They took great care to make sure that my reception was the best it could be. I would definitely use them again, the dance floor was FANTASTIC!

  From the beginning of the planning process months in advance, all the way up until the day of my wedding reception, Mr. Kraig was phenomenal to work with. When researching venues, price was a major point, as we paid for everything out of pocket. To say the prices at the Raleigh Elks Lodge are reasonable is an understatement. They were more than fair. Another huge selling point for us was the already-installed HUGE dance floor! We wanted our guests to dance and have a good time, and we didn't want to worry about paying for/installing a dance floor. Also, the value was great! Our price included the annex rental for 14 hours, plus they set up all of our tables and linens (we paid to rent the linens, but even they were cheaper than other vendors!), and then at the end of the night, they cleaned up everything! I am beyond satisfied with how my reception went. Mr. Kraig, who is usually off on the day of my wedding reception, even came in on his day off and checked on us repeatedly to make sure we didn't need anything. He was very sweet and congratulatory towards my husband and I, and truly a pleasure to work with. He was also very accommodating when it came to vendors wanting to come by and see the space, even a few days before the event was set to happen! All in all, we are happily married, and everyone enjoyed our reception. We received many comments about the space and the dance floor, and the way we decorated the hall. I just couldn't be happier, and I recommend this place to any bride on a budget, or even a bride who isn't!

  Ernie was fantastic. The only downside to the venue is that everything has to be done in person or over the phone, no email, just fax and phone calls.
  I would definitely use this venue again, and, it has the largest wooden dance floor in Raleigh!

  My husband and I are dancers so our no. 1 requirement was a great dance floor. We had danced at the Elks before so we knew that was not a problem. The Elks is unique in that they book by the day instead of by the hour, so we really took advantage of that in having set up of A/V equipment and decorations at 10am; the wedding at 4pm; dance lesson & hors d'oeuvres hour at 4:30pm; reception at 6pm; and after party from 10pm-12am! The venue is pretty spacious and they have their own tables and chairs (and dance floor) so you don't need to rent those. You do have to pay for tablecloths, but they take care of cleaning up tables, chairs, and trash so it is totally worth it. Definitely a good value. They are pretty laid back, which is good in some ways, but maybe not as professional as if you went with a hotel. The place is a little old, but once you decorate with tablecloths and centerpieces, it cleans up quite nicely.
