"The Elks Lodge was the Start and finish for the Great Augusta Marathon, Half, 10k and 5 k on July 20, 2025. It was an awesome venue and they were a gracious host. The facility is pleasant, well maintained and has very good parking. Lifestyle Sports Global, LLC was able to use the lawn, top outdoor area for a DJ and we were able to set up three 10 x 12 canopies to provide cover for race volunteers. We could not be happier with the BPOE for providing us with this great venue."

"The Augusta Elk's Lodge was the perfect small town venue for my sister's October wedding. We were blessed with gorgeous weather that day and were able to enjoy the outdoor ceremony slash gazebo spot and then indoors too! Everything looked so well put together, their bar, the dance floor, even the restrooms were squeaky tidy clean! WE ABSOLUTELY HAD A BLAST!!! I'll rate it 6/10 however due to the event planner lady immediately verbally unloading her management/ disgruntled employee complaints & stresses onto my sister the moment she entered the venue the morning of the biggest day of her life. I did not appreciate that what so ever..... LIKE HOW UNPROFESSIONAL CAN YOU BE GOODNESS GRACIOUS!?"

"My company held a couple of events here. It's a nice building, plenty of room for 100+ people. The AC was cranked so dress warm. Not sure if Elks Lodge did the catering or not but it was very basic and there wasn't enough food for everyone."
