About Us

The Elks Lodge #1346 has been a fixture on North Market St long enough that generations of Wooster families have marked their biggest moments here. Retirement parties, Mother's Day brunches, milestone birthdays, the old house holds them all with a dignity you simply can't rent from a hotel ballroom. The main hall carries the bones of a genuine historic home, while thoughtfully added spaces give event hosts the square footage they actually need.

Downstairs, the basement bar has earned its own reputation. Guests who came for a retirement party stayed because the bar was exactly right: unhurried, comfortable, and staffed by people who know the regulars by name. That combination of elegant upstairs and convivial downstairs is what keeps a 4.8-star rating honest across 50 reviews.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects you to a national network of community service, veterans support, and scholarship programs. Lodge #1346 carries that mission locally, making it more than a venue, it's a place where Wooster residents show up for each other.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers flexible event space for private parties, corporate gatherings, and community celebrations. The main hall suits seated dinners and formal receptions, while the additional event rooms handle overflow, cocktail hours, or separate seating for kids. Every space is available to members and their guests, and the staff works with hosts to configure the layout that fits.

The basement bar is a standalone draw, open for members during regular Lodge hours and available as part of event packages. Seasonal programming like the Mother's Day Brunch fills the calendar with reasons to gather outside of private bookings. BPOE membership itself unlocks access to Lodge facilities, fraternal events, veterans programs, and Elks National Foundation scholarships for local students.

For event inquiries, visit the Lodge's official page at elks.org or stop by 335 N Market St in Wooster to speak with Lodge staff directly.

The Order · Since 1868

Join the Elks
A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
