About Us

A wall display with plaques and American flags. — Delta Elks Lodge #1235
A wall display with plaques and American flags.

When a bride's outdoor wedding was hit with rain, hail, and snow on the one stormy day in a two-week stretch of sunshine, Delta Elks Lodge #1235 stepped in and saved the day. That kind of reliability is not an accident. It is baked into the bones of this century-old building at 563 Main Street, where the walls have absorbed decades of Christmas parties, anniversary dinners, DJ sets, and civic meetings.

The main hall is the real draw. A mobile DJ who has played dozens of venues across the Western Slope calls the acoustics here among the best he has worked with, and the room comfortably holds 80 or more guests without feeling like a gymnasium. The building is old in the best sense, solid construction and character that no strip-mall event space can replicate, maintained with obvious care so guests arrive to clean floors, working restrooms, and a staff that actually shows up prepared.

The Elks Lodge tradition runs deep in small-town Colorado, and Lodge #1235 reflects that. Members and guests alike consistently note how considerate and welcoming the people here are, which is why a 4.6-star rating across nearly 70 reviews holds steady. Delta has plenty of options for a night out or a big event. Few of them have this building, this history, or this track record.

What We Offer

Lodge #1235 functions as one of Delta's most flexible private and semi-private event venues. The main hall handles large-scale gatherings with ease, from corporate holiday parties to wedding receptions to milestone birthday celebrations. Acoustic quality makes it a natural fit for live music and DJ events, and the space can be arranged to suit seated dinners, dancing, or a combination of both.

Beyond events, the lodge operates as a bar and social club with a welcoming atmosphere for members and their guests. Regular Elks programming includes charitable fundraisers, community service initiatives, and fraternal events that connect members across the region. If you are considering membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #1235 is an excellent place to learn what that means in practice.

For event inquiries, reach the lodge directly by stopping in at 563 Main St in downtown Delta or connecting through their local network. The team is hands-on and communicative, which is exactly what you want when planning something that matters.

"Saved my wedding! The day of my wedding was a complete disaster with it being the only day in a two week period of sunshine, that Mother Nature decided we should have rain, hail, and snow. Oh, and more rain. It was supposed to be an outdoor wedding. All of our tents got completely torn up. I was in tears. We called the Elks Lodge about an hour before the time we were supposed to say I Do and they had their top floor available! They gave us a steal of a price, called in last minute bartenders, and literally saved the day! Beautiful venue, professional staff, and we will now make that our go to place for events for sure! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!"

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.
