We had our wedding at The Elks Lodge in Waterloo this past May 2017. Everything was wonderful. We worked with Sherri, who was very accommodating and made the process almost stress-...
free for us. We had room there to get ready there the morning of for both the ladies and men. It worked out very well having the hair/makeup come to us on site and not traveling as much.
The venue was quite beautiful, including the stunning circle bar for a cocktail hour prior to the reception, as well as the grand ball room for our reception. Originally we had an outdoor wedding planned at a separate location, but of course Iowa weather didn’t cooperate. The Elks was very accommodating being able to move the ceremony indoors and everything looked beautiful.
We received nothing but complements on our food catered by the Elks Club. We selected pork and chicken dishes, and the food was delicious.
I would definitely recommend the Elks Lodge as a venue for your wedding!
We had our reception at the Elk's. Sherri was really easy to work with to get everything set up. The venue is absolutely beautiful! My only complaints are: 1. I feel like everythin...
g is really overpriced (but you do pay for what you get - it was quality) and 2. I was not impressed with the food. Our taste testing was awful - we didn't like any of the meats, so we chose pasta which was good! The venue was perfect for us, though, and I would definitely recommend it!
