Ask anyone who has hosted an event at Franklin Elks Lodge #2136 and you will hear the same names: Ralph and Joanie. The team here has built a reputation not just for spacious facilities, but for the kind of hands-on coordination that takes the stress out of big days. From the moment you book the main function room to the final toast, someone who knows your event is picking up the phone.

The lodge sits on Pond Street in Franklin, MA, a short drive from the town center, and the main hall is genuinely large enough to host a wedding reception without anyone feeling crowded. Reviewers consistently note how family-friendly the atmosphere is, whether the occasion is a milestone birthday, a retirement celebration, or a wedding reception that drew four-plus stars from 90 guests who left reviews.

Beyond the events, Lodge #2136 carries the BPOE mission of charitable giving and community service throughout greater Franklin. Members gather here to support veterans, fund local scholarships, and show up for neighbors in ways that rarely make headlines but matter deeply to the people on the receiving end.

What We Offer

The main function room accommodates large celebrations with room to spare. Wedding receptions, surprise birthday parties, anniversary dinners, graduation parties, and corporate gatherings all find a natural home here. The lodge provides bar service and catering coordination, with staff working directly with clients to dial in the menu before the event, not the morning of.

Beyond private rentals, Franklin Elks Lodge #2136 hosts regular member events, charitable fundraisers, and community programs tied to the national Elks mission. If you are exploring membership, the lodge offers a straightforward path to joining a network of civic-minded neighbors who show up for Franklin year-round.

For event inquiries, the booking process is handled with the same personal attention that earned Joanie repeated mentions in guest reviews. Reach the lodge through franklinelks.org to check availability and start planning.

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
