The Lodge's event hall is the anchor, a high-ceilinged, versatile space that has hosted everything from intimate bridal brunches to large-scale community banquets. It's available for private rentals at rates that won't require a second mortgage, and the on-site cash bar keeps guests happy without outside catering headaches. Parking in the rear lot keeps arrivals smooth.
Beyond rentals, the Lodge runs a full calendar of member programming: social nights, charitable fundraisers, holiday events, and initiatives tied to the national Elks mission of supporting veterans and youth across New Jersey. Members gain access to lodge facilities, a community of like-minded neighbors, and the broader resources of the BPOE national network.
For those exploring membership, the process starts with a simple inquiry through the national Elks website. Whether you're booking the hall for a private event or considering joining one of New Jersey's most established fraternal organizations, the Lodge at 296 Bloomfield Ave is worth a closer look.
