About Us

Decorated banquet hall with floral arrangements and a mounted deer head. — Salisbury Elks Lodge #699
Decorated banquet hall with floral arrangements and a mounted deer head.

Salisbury Elks Lodge #699 has been part of the fabric of this city for well over a century. Chartered members have gathered at 508 S Main St to support local causes, celebrate milestones, and simply show up for one another. That consistency is rare, and locals notice it. The lodge earned a 4.5-star rating across dozens of reviews, with visitors frequently commenting on the friendliness of the membership and the quality of the facility.

The building itself tells a story. Guests who have received a tour describe it as genuinely impressive, a place that carries the weight of history without feeling frozen in it. High ceilings, generous event spaces, and a staff that treats every visitor like a returning member make it easy to see why organizations like the Rowan Humane Society choose this venue for their community fundraisers.

At its core, the lodge operates on the four cardinal virtues of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Those are not just words on a plaque here. They show up in the volunteer hours, the scholarship programs, and the events that bring Salisbury neighbors together around a shared table.

What We Offer

The lodge functions as one of Salisbury's most versatile event venues, accommodating everything from intimate civic gatherings to full wedding receptions. The banquet hall seats large groups comfortably and can be configured for seated dinners, dances, ceremonies, or community fundraisers. Local nonprofits regularly partner with the lodge because the space is both affordable and genuinely well-maintained.

Beyond event rentals, Lodge #699 offers an active calendar of member programming, including social nights, charitable initiatives, and regional Elks events that draw visitors from across North Carolina. Membership itself opens doors to a national network of over 800,000 Elks, along with local discounts, fellowship, and the satisfaction of giving back to Rowan County.

For couples planning a wedding, the venue combines historic character with practical amenities, making it a distinctive alternative to cookie-cutter banquet facilities. Whether you are booking the space for a single evening or exploring what full membership looks like, the lodge is worth a visit in person.

"My review is for James Green, the house chairman. We had a wedding here yesterday and because of him, everything went so well. He was helpful in accommodating our needs. Arrived early for our caterer and DJ to set up. He even personally cleaned the bathrooms. Thankful for his help. The reception went perfectly and everyone had a wonderful time."

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
