Eicher is the perfect venue for any event!
The serene setting of Eicher Arts Center in the heart of Ephrata makes for a beautiful setting that is conveniently located. There is ample parking, as the Eicher Arts Center is located in the same area as the picturesque Thomas P. Grater Community Park, the American Legion and Ephrata Performing Arts Center. The large, yet intimate, Grand Room is perfect for social gatherings, receptions, baby showers, etc. The large porch, and even larger green space outdoors, means there is a lot of areas for your guests to explore! It has a very large kitchen that was created with your caterer in mind. The property features Wi-Fi throughout the venue for you and your guests. For weddings, our historic Eicher Sisters’ Cabin has been converted to a beautiful light-filled bridal suite for you & your bridesmaids to get ready in.
