About Us

The fireplace is the first thing people mention. Sit down in one of the comfortable lounge chairs at Elks Lodge 1400 on Warwick Drive and you feel it immediately, that rare quality a room either has or doesn't: it actually wants you to stay. This isn't a rented banquet hall dressed up for the occasion. It's a real lodge, with real members, in Alma, MI, and it shows in every detail.

The hall attached to the lounge seats full reunion crowds and Christmas parties with room to breathe. Guests at a recent 50th class reunion noted the ample parking, the fully handicapped-accessible layout, and restrooms that earned their own compliment in the reviews. Those aren't small things when you're planning an event for people of all ages and mobility levels.

Held at a 4.6-star rating across more than a hundred reviews, Lodge 1400 has built its reputation on making guests feel genuinely welcome, not just accommodated. When the Christmas party crowd said "thank you for making us feel so welcome," they weren't describing a venue. They were describing a community.

What We Offer

Lodge 1400 handles the full picture for private events: catering, hall rental, setup, and the kind of attentive hospitality that keeps guests talking about the night long after it ends. The main event hall connects directly to the comfortable lounge, giving your gathering room to flow between a formal seated dinner and relaxed conversation by the fireplace.

The kitchen team brings the same care to food service that the lodge brings to everything else. Whether you're planning a milestone reunion, a holiday party, a memorial banquet, or a corporate gathering, the staff coordinates the details so you don't have to. Handicapped-accessible facilities, generous parking, and a central Alma location make logistics easy for guests coming from across mid-Michigan.

For organizations, civic groups, and families looking for a venue that already has a warm atmosphere built in, this is the answer. You're not starting from scratch decorating a blank box. You're walking into a room that already feels like something.

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.
