About Us

Signage of Elks Lodge indicating its establishment number.

The Barre Elks Lodge 1535 has long been the address locals reach for when the occasion calls for more than a folding table and a rented tent. Sit in the ballroom and you feel it immediately: high ceilings, generous square footage, and a room that holds a crowd without feeling like a warehouse. Reviewers consistently call it one of the largest event venues in Barre, and that reputation is earned.

The staff here runs the room the way good hosts do, quietly and effectively. The bar crew keeps pace during busy receptions, the catering team handles the details, and the pricing stays honest enough that community groups, small businesses, and families keep coming back. A recent guest who booked the space for a corporate event noted that the fee was "extremely reasonable" and the facility was spotless.

Beyond the event calendar, Lodge 1535 is an active chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, an organization with deep American roots and a genuine commitment to veterans, youth, and local giving. Membership here means more than a membership card. It means a seat at a table that has been doing real work in Barre, Vermont for generations.

What We Offer

The ballroom is the centerpiece, a large, clean, and flexible space that accommodates business meetings, wedding receptions, fundraisers, birthday milestones, and everything in between. Tables, chairs, and a full bar setup come with the territory, and the room can be configured to suit the event.

Catering and bar service are handled in-house by staff members who know the room and know how to keep guests comfortable. There is no scrambling to coordinate outside vendors for the basics. The lodge also hosts regular member meetings, civic programs, and charitable events throughout the year, giving the space a calendar that reflects the full breadth of what a community anchor should do.

Rental inquiries are welcome from both members and the broader public. Parking on Jefferson Street is limited, so the lodge recommends early arrival for larger gatherings. Contact the lodge directly through barreelks1535.org to check availability and discuss your event needs.

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
