About Us

A wedding reception setup with colorful lighting and decorations. — Culver City Elks Lodge #1917
A wedding reception setup with colorful lighting and decorations.

Some places surprise you. Walk into Culver City Elks Lodge #1917 expecting a quiet hall of old-timers and you'll find something else entirely: a room full of people who actually know how to have fun. The reviews say it best: the older members are, quote, "off the hook fun." That's the energy that fills this Lodge every week, and it's been that way for over a century.

The building has character. It carries the warm, wood-paneled spirit of the 1970s and '80s, kept clean and cared for by members who take pride in it. The indoor hall flows out to a private outdoor patio, making it one of the more versatile event spaces in the Culver City area. A cash bar with a solid liquor selection keeps things lively, and the space is private enough that your group actually feels like your group.

This is a Lodge that hosts everything from Venice High School reunions to community meetings to wedding receptions. Membership is open, the atmosphere is inclusive, and the people who make this place run are the kind you'll actually want to know.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers flexible rental options for groups of all sizes, with separate party rooms and meeting rooms available depending on your needs. The indoor banquet hall accommodates larger events with room to arrange tables, a dance floor, and a stage area, while the outdoor patio gives guests a private open-air option that's rare to find at this price point in the LA area.

A full cash bar is on-site with a well-stocked selection of spirits, beer, and wine. Outside catering is permitted, giving you control over the food without being locked into a single vendor. The Lodge is especially well-suited for class reunions, birthday parties, retirement celebrations, fraternal meetings, and civic organization gatherings.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks brings its own benefits: access to Lodge events, community programs, youth scholarships, and a network of members across the country. Whether you're renting the space or joining the family, Lodge #1917 delivers something the big event venues never quite manage: a room where people actually connect.

"It's one of the most friendly places I've ever been to. Most people think of elderly people and veterans when they think of these Lodges and Clubs. Think again! The elderly people are OFF THE HOOK FUN and there are people of ages 21 and up. They do great things. Like STEAK NIGHT!"

"A little old, but clean and very private. Definitely has the 70's/80's vibe. It was perfect for our Class of '80 Venice HS reunion. Indoor and outdoor patio. Cash bar, good booze selection. Catering of your choice: We had street tacos. There was a stage for the DJ and disco lights for thr dance floor. They had a projector screen for our reunion tribute video. I really can't complain. It's just "vintage" but befitting of our celebration. Three small parking lots. We hired a security guard to watch our cars. There is also ample free street parking."

"The Elks Lodge always welcomes the American Red Cross to help save lives. I've been coming to this facility to donate for years now and always get a great feeling of self-worth after I donate. As someone who had a mom who consistently received blood for years and lived on borrowed time, this is how I give back. I encourage everyone to donate."
— Jose Fernando Elizondo

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
