Best event center

Best wedding rates. Beautiful event center. My guest talked all night how beautiful and clean it was. My guest all sat comfortable in center. We used the indoor event center for everything. The outdoor area is beautiful also. Thank you for all your help and kindness. Highly recommend the McKinley Event Center

Great experience!

Hannah the owner is quick to respond and we couldn’t be happier that we chose the beautiful McKinley Wedding & Event Venue for our big day! The prices were also about 1/3 of the other places we looked.

I scheduled my reception with them last minute and they were very flexible about payments and they communicated very well with my family about important dates and meetings! I highly recommend them! They offer multiple packages and a couple of different venues. They offer drapery, tablecloths, and can connect you with tons of wedding resources. The contact was very friendly and welcoming!! Check them out!!

I had a wonderful and stress free experience with Eagle Lake! I am so happy I decided to have my reception here. The coordinated was so helpful with everything, she even recommended our dj and caterer... She gave us many options!

People complimented how pretty our reception was all night! It was also really large, which easily held our 400 guests!

The hardwood floors and beautiful rock fireplace was the cherry on top!

I definitely recommend this place, it was wonderful!
