"Just wanted to say thank you for allowing us as traveling Elks from Lodge 2817 Viera, Florida to camp overnight in your parking lot 😊 Enjoyed our conversations with everyone in the bar and great service Josse the bartender gave us. Interesting history about the Fairbanks Scale manufacturer Mansion the Lodge is at."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We recently rented Elks lodge #1343 for a Memorial service dinner. I was arranging the dinner from out of state, but Judi made the whole process seamless. The building is very unique with beautiful architectural components. The banquet hall is accessible and spacious, with everything needed to host a buffet. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Although I am not a lodge member, the bartender in the members lounge was attentive and friendly to any of our guest ordering drinks from the bar. There is also an ATM in the vestibule just outside the hall which is convenient for the cash only bar. I would highly recommend the Elks lodge for a gathering of any kind."
