The waterfront event space is the centerpiece: floor-to-ceiling harbor views, a full-service bar, and a staff that knows how to keep a party moving. Weddings here consistently draw raves for the attentive team and the dramatic Boston skyline backdrop that no downtown ballroom can replicate.\n\nBeyond weddings, the lodge hosts birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate gatherings, and community fundraisers. RV parking is available for traveling Elks members passing through the North Shore. The marina access and waterfront setting make it a natural stop\u2026",
