The Melody Event Center
Let us help you bring your vision to life
A Restored Classic Venue
Our
Story
The Melody Event Center offers an elegantly restored classic venue with state of the art equipment and customized on site catering to bring your vision to life for your wedding, meeting, conference, fundraiser or special occasion.
Originally built as a Woodsmen of the World lodge in 1925, The Melody has been home to many Portland social events in its storied more than 90-year history.
For the past nearly 40 years, the Melody has been home to weddings, proms, community auctions and fundraisers, music events, birthday parties, Quinceaneras and other gala celebrations.
With a complete building remodel that culminated with a grand re-opening in November 2018, The Melody Event Center has expanded into 5 unique event spaces for events ranging from 15 to 1,000 guests.
