Wedding Venue in Othello, WA

An indoor reception hall for up to 250 guests, with crystal chandeliers, string lighting and room for a full dance floor, so your wedding day never depends on the weather.

A Wedding Reception Hall Built for the Whole Family

Weddings in the Columbia Basin tend to be big, and the guest list rarely stops at the immediate family. El Rancho Event Center was built for that. Our Grand Ballroom seats up to 250 guests under crystal chandeliers and string lighting, with room left over for a stage, a band or DJ, and a dance floor that stays full until the last song.

Because our banquet halls are indoors, summer heat, spring wind and early winter nights don't change your plans. Many couples hold the ceremony at their church and bring everyone to El Rancho for the reception; others host both in one place. Either way, you get one address in Othello that guests from Moses Lake, Pasco and the Tri-Cities can reach in about an hour or less.

Up to 250 Guests

The Grand Ballroom seats large wedding parties at round or long banquet tables, with space for a head table or sweetheart table.

Dance Floor & Stage

Open floor space for your first dance, the money dance and the whole family once the music starts.

Indoors, Year-Round

Plan a spring, summer, fall or winter wedding without building a backup plan around wind, heat or rain.

Room to Decorate

Chandeliers and string lighting give your decorator a warm canvas for arches, drapery and florals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many wedding guests can El Rancho Event Center hold?

The Grand Ballroom seats 200 to 250 guests and is our usual choice for wedding receptions. For a smaller wedding, the Mid-Size Hall fits 100 to 150 guests.

Is El Rancho an indoor or outdoor wedding venue?

Both. Receptions take place in our indoor banquet halls, and the Mid-Size Hall opens onto a covered, string-lit patio for guests who want some fresh air.

Can we have our ceremony and reception in the same place?

Yes. Many couples hold the ceremony at church and the reception here, but you can also host both at El Rancho. Call us to talk through the layout for your guest count.

How far is the venue from Moses Lake and Pasco?

We're at 2780 S Broadway Ave in Othello, WA 99344. Moses Lake is about 30 minutes away and Pasco is about 50 minutes away, so out-of-town guests can easily drive in for the evening.
