From the reviews
My husband and I just had our wedding reception at the Elks at Bass Rocks on 9/10/22. This venue is tops; especially if you love the ocean/ocean views. Both the wedding party and photo/video crew had a lot of fun. We took our wedding party photos on the rocks with the ocean and crashing waves in the background.
We had our wedding at the Atlantic Room at the Elks at Bass Rocks on September 3, 2021. Kimberley and the entire staff there were beyond fantastic. She made sure that everything ran smoothly from the time that we selected that venue.
The Elks at Bass Rocks was a dream venue for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a prettier location just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean. Our guests were in awe when they arrived to the venue. We also lucked out with a beautiful sunny day which made everything even better.
We had our wedding at the Elks this September and we are so glad we did! Alden and Lynne were great to work with and made sure all the fine details were correct. They helped us throughout the process, which can be a daunting task. We luckily had a gorgeous day for our wedding and had our ceremony outside on their lawn.
Getting married at Elks Atlantic Ocean Room At Bass Rocks
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
