Our Amazing Wedding

We are so happy with our decision to choose the Atlantic Ocean Room as our wedding venue. The location and view are what initially sold us, but Kimberley's advice and support throughout our planning process is what cemented our decision. Our ceremony was originally planned to be outside, but due to hurricane winds we had to make the decision to move inside two hours before. Kimberley and team quickly adjusted the plan and reorganized the room so our ceremony was just as special as being outside. Kimberley was super attentive over the course of our 11 month planning process - proactively checking in and leveraging her immense knowledge to help guide us throughout what can be a stressful time. Our wedding received rave reviews from all of our guests and we could not have been happier. We would definitely have another event here!

Amazing Experience - Even in the Rain

This venue has a breathtaking view of the ocean and is in a great location. Our ceremony was originally planned to be outside, but due to weather (rain) we ended up having the ceremony in the Atlantic room - it was just as special as being outside! Kimberley did an amazing job throughout the whole time, and was very attentive. She answered all of our questions throughout the whole process. I would definitely have another event here!

There are many private event venues in Gloucester but none boast a better location than The Elks at Bass Rocks. The ocean view is breathtaking and the staff, who seems to have remained in tact forever, makes every event exceedingly pleasant. We've never worked with such a personable onsite staff and their space, which has undergone recent renovations, is beautiful. If you want an event on the ocean of the North Shore, there's no better choice!
