If you are looking for an attractive and affordable place to hold a wedding, reception, anniversary celebration or fundraiser, the Echo Community Center Auditorium and Ballroom is the place for you.

Antiques and historic atmosphere are in abundance. The ballroom is 43 by 65 feet plus there is a stage and kitchen. In 2000 the City of Echo completed the renovation of this 1916 auditorium located on the second floor of the City Hall building. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The 14-foot ceiling, vintage-style chandeliers, moldings, three-color paint scheme and antique maple floors all provide an elegant but functional place to host dances, weddings, receptions, anniversaries, plays or even bridal showers. Add to this the back bar that once found a home in the old Echo Hotel, the turn-of-the century oak piano, the beautiful floral arrangements, and you have an elegant place to hold any function.

Tables, chairs and use of the kitchen are included in the rental fee. Tablecloths, punch bowls, dishes, coffee pots, and serving pieces are available upon request. If you are interested in renting the auditorium for your event, contact us or call (541) 376-6038.
