The West Orange Elks Lodge #1590 has been a cornerstone of civic life on 424 Main Street for generations. Chartered under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, this lodge brings together neighbors, veterans, and community members who believe in giving back, celebrating together, and looking out for one another. With a 4.5-star rating earned across dozens of real member and guest reviews, the reputation here is built on genuine warmth, not marketing slogans.

The lodge hall itself is a well-suited space for gatherings of roughly 60 guests, and that sweet spot is where it truly shines. Couples have held wedding receptions here that guests raved about. Families have celebrated baby showers with attentive staff who went out of their way to accommodate every request. The team is known for being hands-on, flexible, and genuinely considerate, the kind of hosts who notice what you need before you ask.

Situated in a mixed neighborhood alongside West Orange's residential community, the lodge operates with a neighborly awareness of its surroundings. That means events wrap up responsibly, and the atmosphere stays convivial rather than chaotic. If you want a venue with real character and a staff that treats your event like it matters, Lodge #1590 delivers exactly that.

What We Offer

Lodge #1590 offers its hall for a range of private and member events. Baby showers, birthday milestones, retirement parties, and wedding receptions have all been hosted here with consistent success. The space comfortably accommodates groups of up to 60, making it an ideal fit for intimate celebrations where every guest actually gets to talk to the guest of honor.

Beyond private rentals, the lodge hosts regular Elks fraternal events, community fundraisers, and member meetings that keep the spirit of the BPOE alive in Essex County. Members gain access to a network of fellow Elks lodges nationwide, charitable programs, and local initiatives that make a measurable difference in West Orange and the surrounding area.

Coordinating your event is straightforward. Staff work directly with hosts to understand layout needs, timing, and any special accommodations. There is no guesswork, and there are no surprises, just a dedicated team making sure your gathering goes exactly as planned.

"We came here for a baby shower. The owners were very helpful with anything we needed and considerate of what we needed help with. No let a very big place. So not the best place for a wedding reception unless it's a really small wedding and you're on a budget. Good for small events. There is a bar and you are provided with a bartender I believe. Don't quote me I don't quite remember."

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.
