Rent our banquet hall

Make your next event unforgettable. Our hall hosts weddings, birthdays, celebrations of life, and corporate events — with flexible rates, outside catering welcome, and a full bar available.

Tampa Elks Lodge banquet hall set for an event

The space

A beautiful venue at a price that makes sense

Our banquet hall seats up to 200 guests and has hosted weddings, quinceañeras, retirement parties, birthday celebrations, and more. With draping, a dance floor, and warm lighting already in place, it photographs beautifully and feels special from the moment guests walk in.

Outside catering is welcome, and our full bar — staffed by our own bartenders — means one less vendor to coordinate. We handle setup and breakdown so you can focus on the celebration.
