"We had the most amazing experience at the Elks Lodge for our wedding reception! Even though I’m not a member, my husband and I chose the Silver package, and with our guest list, we easily met the minimum just with food. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—it truly captured that “Madison” vibe. We went with the buffet option of burgers and brats, which was fun, delicious and very Wisconsin. Everyone loved it! Kaycie Strobl, the banquet manager, was an absolute dream to work with—kind, attentive, and incredibly generous with her time and effort to make our day perfect. Our reception was beautiful from start to finish. Every guest I’ve talked to has had nothing but wonderful things to say, and it was truly everything I had ever dreamed of. If you’re considering the Elks Lodge for your wedding, do it—you won’t regret it!"

"My son's wedding was at the Elks Club in Madison. The food was good and the staff were very prompt and kind. The bartenders were nice and they made a good Old Fashion drink. I really loved the wedding ceremony facing the lake. We were very happy with everything. Including welcoming our new daughter-in-law into our family."
