Great Venue, Bartenders, and Day Of Venue Coordinator
We had 166 guests, and this venue was perfect! We were able to fit all of our guests on the lower part of the L-shaped hall and have the upper area for a large dance floor! All of the guests loved the bartenders! Beautiful location with large windows for a great view before sunset. Working with Kelly the Venue Coordinator was the best and she was so professional, helpful, and accommodating!!We had 166 guests, and this venue was perfect!

Amazing Experience - Even in the Rain
This venue has a breathtaking view of the ocean and is in a great location. Our ceremony was originally planned to be outside, but due to weather (rain) we ended up having the ceremony in the Atlantic room - it was just as special as being outside! Kimberley did an amazing job throughout the whole time, and was very attentive. She answered all of our questions throughout the whole process. I would definitely have another event here!This venue has a breathtaking view of the ocean and is in a great location.

Come for the Views, Stay for the Service
We picked the Elks based off of the location - the views alone sell the venue.
But what we got was so much more. Kimberley is referred to as Kimberley the Great in our family now, as she thought of literally everything and any request we had she was sure to make sure it was taken care of.
During the wedding, my husband spilled coffee and champagne - a terrible combo to get on a white dress, but Kimberley fixed it as if it never happened. She made sure all of my needs were met and all of my dreams were fulfilled. My day felt truly perfect, and Kimberly is a huge credit to that dream come true.We picked the Elks based off of the location - the views alone sell the venue.

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....We had our wedding on 10/15/2022, From the first tour of the venue we knew this was the place.

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.We choose this as our wedding venue back in 2020 for our wedding in Sept of 2022.

Incredible!
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!I could not have imagined my wedding day being anywhere else!

Director of events
Kimberley Banks is incredible! We decided to plan our wedding 6 months ago and she made it seamless for us. She is energetic, detail oriented, and didn't miss a beat. My guests are still talking about what an incredible job she did. The wedding was beautiful. She worked well with the vendors and I didn't have to remember any last minute details because she remembered all of them. Thank you Kim for making our dream come true. Love, Mr. & Mrs. McCormick ❤️Kimberley Banks is incredible! We decided to plan our wedding 6 months ago and she made it seamless for us. She is energetic, detail oriented, and didn't miss a beat.

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 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!-

Book this venue!
We picked this venue because of the beautiful location and space. You can’t beat the ocean view! And you can’t beat the price! Kimberly, the event coordinator, was SPECTACULAR! She is a pro in the wedding industry! She spoke about all the little details and had so many awesome suggestions. During one of our visits with Kimberly, she made us a detailed floor plan and wedding timeline that was so awesome to have! It was so easy and convenient to forward it to all of our other vendors so everyone was on the same page. Aside from her attention to detail, Kimberly made me feel SO COMFORTABLE! She was like a wedding mama you need when you’re feeling nervous!...We picked this venue because of the beautiful location and space. You can’t beat the ocean view! And you can’t beat the price!

Vinwood Catering is from one of their preselected lists of caterers to chose from. We absolutely loved working with Gary and his team. Everyone LOVED the food!
We don't have our professional photos yet, but I attached some cell phone pictures for now!-

Gloucester’s hidden Gem
We toured this venue back in September 2019 for our wedding we planned to have in 11.07.20…the venue is beautiful, right on the ocean! We paid our deposit that week and I got to planning the wedding we always wanted! Fast forward to March 2020 and the pandemic made us question if our wedding was even going to happen…I reached out to the event manager and was able to change our wedding date to the following year: fortunately, we were able to keep the same pricing, even though we moved our wedding into “peak season.” It proves how willing this venue is to accommodate their customers and keep the process as smooth as possible!

It definitely helped make an extremely stressful situation significantly less stressful for us! Kimberley is the new event director and started a few months before our wedding, but it didn’t seem like that- she was very attentive and knew what she was doing, which we were very grateful for! If you express what you want, she will deliver it and more! The venue is very affordable, which you won’t find anywhere else in Gloucester…especially on the ocean! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!!-

Perfection
We searched far and wide for a wedding venue. When we turned down Atlantic Rd. In Gloucester to go see the Elks in March we knew we had to have our wedding there. We met with Emily who was so incredibly pleasant and accommodating. She has these events down to a science, and although only some of our wedding party was at the rehearsal, she directed everything and it went off without a hitch.
The venue is breathtaking. I do not think there is a better ocean view in Massachusetts. It is clean, modern, and reasonably priced. We hired Vinwood as our caterer, and we also give them 5 stars but that's a different review.
I am still in awe at the beauty of this place. I recommend it so highly.We searched far and wide for a wedding venue. When we turned down Atlantic Rd.

The Elks at Bass Rocks is the best!
We are sooo happy we decided to book The Elks at Bass Rocks as our wedding venue! You cannot beat this view and this location for the price. I can’t say enough good things about the event coordinator, Emily. She was absolutely amazing and went out of her way for us since the very beginning. She was always so quick to respond to questions and anything we needed. From referring me to the best photographer around, to helping me find a last minute EmCee a week before my wedding, Emily went above and beyond for us so that our day would be perfect! We had a family friend as our DJ who wasn’t as experienced on the wedding side...We are sooo happy we decided to book The Elks at Bass Rocks as our wedding venue!

We had a family friend as our DJ who wasn’t as experienced on the wedding side of things, and Emily made sure everything ran smoothly and handled the whole night with so much grace and professionalism that none of our guests realized there was anything going wrong. My husband and I got so many compliments about the Elks and the location and how beautiful it is! Any couple/family looking for an affordable Oceanside venue with a million dollar view, The Elks at Bass Rocks has to be your spot!-

I am amazed at everything about this venue! When I started planning 2 years ago I never imagined how beautiful outside would be with my decor and what the inside would looks like with al lot decor. From the first time I met with Emily and Brittany, I knew that I would have an amazing night. I am lost for words but want to thank everyone who helped set up and made my night the most memorable one ever! You are all amazing!!!!I am amazed at everything about this venue!

Book your wedding here!
If you're looking to get married on the New England coast, don't look ant further. Emily at the Elks was so easy to work with and went the extra mile when we had a couple of last minute issues. She made sure everything went the way we asked for it to and worked with a slew of independent vendors to make it all come together. The venue is so convenient and the views are beautiful. You cannot beat the price and what is included - believe me, I looked everywhere. Though we didn't stay at them ourselves, our guests raved about the hotels right next door as well. Do yourself a favor, take lots of stress off your shoulders, and pick this place!If you're looking to get married on the New England coast, don't look ant further.

Our wedding at the Elks on October 2nd was absolutely perfect!

She was available whenever we had a question and always kept our best interests in mind. On the day of the wedding, the weather was absolutely horrible, and Deborah called me first thing in the morning to talk about moving our ceremony inside. I was obviously bummed because the view and ceremony location outside is one of the major reasons we fell in love with this venue - but Deborah assured me it would still be great.

In the end, the set up for our ceremony inside was still absolutely beautiful, and being inside made for a much more intimate and cozy experience for everyone. Plus, the waves crashing on the rocks out the window behind us still made for a great view!
We had a very dark/Nightmare Before Christmas-ish theme for our wedding, and we dropped all of our quirky decorations off the day before. Deborah and her staff set everything up perfectly and truly made the place ours! Despite the weather, our wedding day was an absolute dream and a night we'll never forget! I would recommend the Elks in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a beautiful (and affordable!) wedding by the ocean!The Atlantic Ocean Room at The Elks Bass Rocks's reply:
Thank you Jennelle,
Yours was a one of a kind Wedding for sure. Beautiful and original! Don't let the theme fool you as she pulled this off with such elegance and class. From the dresses to the decor it was beautiful!
Thank you and the best of luck to you both.

The Elks at Bass Rocks was the perfect venue for our wedding. Deborah took care of everything, and it came out even more beautiful than I imagined. She was right on point with everything and made sure that we had a perfect day. Deborah was wonderful to work with and really knows what she is doing. She truly made our wedding day perfect!The Elks at Bass Rocks was the perfect venue for our wedding. Deborah took care of everything, and it came out even more beautiful than I imagined.

I recently held my wedding at the Elks at Bass Rocks, Gloucester. Even though the coordinator changed after we signed the contract, I was extremely satisfied with my experience. The coordinator, Bronwen, was professional, responsive and organized.
The day of coordinator, Faye, did an outstanding job. She was easy to talk to and worked well with my other vendors. She was there whenever I needed her but never obtrusive or in the way.
My day went off without a hitch and I credit both of these women.
As far as the venue, I don't believe you can get a better deal than here. We did the ceremony as well as the reception here. There...I recently held my wedding at the Elks at Bass Rocks, Gloucester.

As far as the venue, I don't believe you can get a better deal than here. We did the ceremony as well as the reception here. There is plenty of parking, the views are amazing, and the room is both gorgeous as well as neutral enough to go with any décor. I highly recommend the Elks at Bass Rocks! -

When the mother-of-the-groom suggested that we get married at "The Elks" we immediately pictured a crusty old lodge behind a town hall with cramped parking, a dingy little room with animal hides on the wall.
We couldn't have been further from reality. The Elks at Bass Rocks is painting-above-the-fireplace picturesque, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Gloucester. Any season, event or time of day, it provides the absolute greatest value.
1. It's truly breathtaking -- you cannot find a better backdrop for your reception. And you can host your ceremony on the front lawn just steps from the ocean.
2. Stacey Dexter is a wedding planner/coordinator/director nonpareil. Her experience, skills and personality allow your rehearsal and...When the mother-of-the-groom suggested that we get married at "The Elks" we immediately pictured a crusty old lodge behind a town hall with cramped parking, a dingy little room with animal hides on the wall.

2. Stacey Dexter is a wedding planner/coordinator/director nonpareil. Her experience, skills and personality allow your rehearsal and wedding day to run smoothly.
3. The liquor/bar costs are less than any other location. Consider that an open bar for 150 people for 4.5 hours came in around $2500.
Overall, the value of The Elks at Bass Rocks simply cannot be beat. A breathtaking location, an inexpensive bar and an included wedding coordinator ... your wedding will be unforgettable, and you'll have so much money left over you can take an extra week on your honeymoon!
Our wedding was truly all that we had hoped for, and in large part due to The Elks at Bass Rocks and Stacey Dexter. -

Kelly Barusso (event coordinator) is an absolute gem. From the moment she toured us around the property, shared our catering options (there are several companies to choose from), and helped us envision different creative options...I was in love every step of the way.
The value you receive is unique for the location. The property is located on Bass Rocks, which is also known as the "Back Shore." The Atlantic sprawls across a panorama of windows. For anywhere on Cape Ann, particularly Gloucester, there is no where you will get more for your money.Kelly Barusso (event coordinator) is an absolute gem.

Our Amazing Wedding
We are so happy with our decision to choose the Atlantic Ocean Room as our wedding venue. The location and view are what initially sold us, but Kimberley's advice and support throughout our planning process is what cemented our decision. Our ceremony was originally planned to be outside, but due to hurricane winds we had to make the decision to move inside two hours before. Kimberley and team quickly adjusted the plan and reorganized the room so our ceremony was just as special as being outside. Kimberley was super attentive over the course of our 11 month planning process - proactively checking in and leveraging her immense knowledge to help guide us throughout what can be a stressful time....We are so happy with our decision to choose the Atlantic Ocean Room as our wedding venue.
