The perfect day!

We had our wedding on 10/15/2022, From the first tour of the venue we knew this was the place. Kimberley was so easy to work with and so quick to respond to any question we had. She was so personable and professional. She was always there to make me feel better about anything during the planning process. She knows what shes doing and is AMAZING at her job. She truly made my dreams come true on my wedding day. She was there from the arrival to the bridal suite to the end of the night loading up the cars. Anytime I needed her she was attentive and helped with every bit of the process. I can't thank her enough. The Elks is the most beautiful place for a wedding. I would highly recommend her and the Elks for your wedding day!

Best Wedding Venue

We choose this as our wedding venue back in 2020 for our wedding in Sept of 2022. We started working with Kimberly in 2021 once the other coordinator left the venue. Kimberly was absolutely amazing. She knows exactly what she is doing and how to make a wedding go off without any issues. She is 100% there for the bride and groom and made sure we were always happy. I was nervous about a lot on my wedding day but Kimberly was always there to make me feel better.
The venue is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It is located directly across from the ocean and has the best view. I would recommend this venue to everyone. It was affordable and absolutely made our wedding the best it could have been.

I could not have imagined my wedding day being anywhere else! You cannot beat the view and especially for the price it’s unbelievable! Everyone was great to work with and having David for the day of my wedding was more than I could have hoped for. They worked with me on my special vision that I wanted and it came out INCREDIBLE! Everyone absolutely loved the venue as well. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Incredible

I cannot give this venue enough praise, more specifically our coordinator at the Elks, Kimberly. From the first meeting with her through our wedding day, she listened to our ideas and vision, was professional and receptive. She took my vision and EXCEEDED all of my expectations. I was in awe when I saw the room and how she was able to create exactly what I had hoped for in my mind. Kim made me feel like my wedding was the only one of the year, when I know that they had many all weekend. The view for our ceremony and reception was unmatched and the convenience of having a beautiful hotel right next door was perfect. I never even considered another venue following our first visit and I am so beyond happy with our choice. I cannot recommend them enough!

Perfect Venue for a Oceanside Wedding!

We held our wedding this weekend at the Elks at Bass Rocks in Gloucester, MA. It was a perfect venue for a wedding! This is not your typical Elks. It is rated number one in the country in terms of beauty. There were gorgeous views from the Atlantic Ocean Room and our ceremony was held on the front lawn with the open ocean as the backdrop. I can’t say enough about the Director of Events and Wedding Coordinator at the Elks, Kimberly Banks and Kelly Smith. They made sure every detail was perfect and that everyone was in the right spot at the right time. I thought we would be setting up our own signage and other items in the hall. They took care of all of it so I could just enjoy the day. The Elks has two really nice hotels next door to the venue and there are plenty of other places to stay in the area, both hotels and Airbnbs. Our guests from out of town enjoyed spending time in Gloucester and Rockport and all commented on the beauty of the area. A nice feature of the Elks was the bridal suite, which we had access to from 9am that day for hair and make up. It was the perfect room for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in, equipped with a small refrigerator and private bathroom. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or day.

I have to also mention the vendors I used, all of which were phenomenal. Vinwood Catering out of Ipswich, MA provided food. I was told it was the best wedding food people had ever had. I used Audrey’s Flower Shop in Gloucester for our flowers and they were gorgeous and reasonably priced. Our DJ and Photography team, Curtis Knight Entertainment did an amazing job serving as both our DJ, MC and photographer. He had a slideshow running in real time as photos were captured from the day. Topsfield Bake Shop provided our cutting cake and cupcake tree and both were great.

All in all it was the perfect day - better than I ever could have imagined! :)

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. Our guests loved the venue and we got numerous compliments about how lovely it was; inside and out. Inside the reception hall, there are large windows stretching across the front that give pristine views of the ocean front.
Kimberley is the on-site events coordinator and she is absolutely amazing. Kimberley has a lot of experience doing what she does and to have her be part of our team was a great asset. I didn’t have to worry about the reception at all…I knew it would be nothing short of fantastic because Kimberley would have everything taken care of; and she did! She communicates with you and asks follow-up questions to make sure everything is set-up and ready to go before the event. And what’s equally as important is her professionalism, personability, kindness, and great sense of humor. We had so much fun working with Kimberley and she really did make the venue portion of things stress-free, enjoyable, and memorable. When my husband and I arrived in the limo, I was hot and feeling a little nauseated. Kimberley picked up on this immediately and brought me inside to cool off and got me a cold water. She cares about people on a personal level; with great heart. Thank you Kimberley for everything you did to help make wedding day celebration so special!
We 100% highly recommend this venue. If we could give more than 5 stars I would.

We were married here this past Sunday, September 18th, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Kimberley was our event organizer and was incredible. She was detail oriented, organized, punctual and a pleasure to work with. She worked extremely well with the vendors too! The venue was perfect with a beautiful ocean view at every angle. The waitstaff and bartender were so friendly and on top of everything. Thank you for making our wedding absolutely perfect! Love, Mr. and Mrs. McCormick.

From the day we toured the venue till her wedding day, we were very pleased with how everything was handled. My daughter was amazed at how attentive to her needs. She is a diabetic and was off the pump for the day so every time we needed her insulin the event coordinator was there to help. I would advise any bride that would like an ocean wedding please book here.

Flawlessly beautiful venue and incredible coordinator for our August 2022 wedding!!

My husband and I got married at the Elks on August 14th, 2022 and we could not have had a more wonderful day and overall experience; we feel so blessed and are still deliriously happy reliving the day a month later. The Elks was the first venue we looked at back in September of 2021, and we immediately halted our search after seeing the gorgeous ocean view just steps away and meeting our dear and lovely Kimberley! We just adored her, and working with her, from that first day to our wedding day, and we will still keep in touch and count her as someone so special in our lives.

We had about 120 guests from near and far and everyone had such a blast dancing the night away by the gorgeous ocean. The ceremony spot is just so lovely right on the water, and guests (and we!!) really appreciated it. Taking wedding pictures afterwards on the rocks overlooking the ocean is something we'll truly remember always. Once inside for the reception, the beautiful ocean is still visible in the background. Every single thing at the reception looked as I had envisioned it for years and years; it all looked so lovely. We know that everyone says it, but we just had such a genuinely FUN, joyous, incandescently beautiful late summer wedding day and we will look back on it with all of our love for the rest of our crazy lives together.

We cannot thank Kimberley and everyone who was a part of the "Lunnen Wedding Day Dream Team" enough, from the bottom of our grateful and elated hearts. Book your wedding here! Look no further! Cheers and God bless!

We absolutely loved our wedding at The Atlantic Ocean Room! We got married July 15, 2022 on a perfect summer day. Guests gushed over the beautiful views for the ceremony and reception, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. Kimberley Banks, the on site coordinator, is nothing short of fabulous. She is helpful, incredibly organized, and experienced. Kim went above and beyond to make sure we, along with our families, were happy and taken care of throughout the planning process, but especially during the rehearsal and wedding itself. We highly recommend this venue and Kim!

Beautiful facility, beautiful views all-around wonderful

We were married there 7/23/2022. The facility is beautiful so needs no embellishments. Stunning views for photos. Kimberly Banks the coordinator is really where you get your value. She made every step easy, knew all the small details that were needed. Was professional, helpful and great to deal with. I'd highly recommend both the Elks at Bass Rocks and Kimberly Banks to anyone who want a beautiful facility with a knowledgeable manager.
