Originally built in 1963 as the Veterans Memorial Building, Veterans Terrace has a vast and varied history serving as a home to the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans.
The building has been popular since the very beginning when it first hosted weddings, teen dances, concerts and even jazzercise. That proud, original structure still exists, quietly concealed beneath, between, and within the beautiful new structure that we so proudly call Veterans Terrace.
Liberty Hall Ballroom
Envision your wedding in our elegant Liberty Hall Ballroom. With just under 6,000 square feet of event space lined with oversized windows offering stunning views of Echo Park, the White River, and the glorious sunsets over Echo Lake. Liberty Hall opens onto a second-story veranda, so you and your guests can enjoy the outdoor scenery in both summer and winter. The scene is made even more beautiful with the White River’s water tumbling over the rocks of the Echo Lake dam, which is lit at night with LED lights illuminating the dam in an array of glowing colors.
Liberty Hall can accommodate up to 400 guests for a sit-down dinner. If you are planning a smaller event the room can be divided in half with seating for up to 180 on each side. Our experienced staff will help you design and customize the room to accommodate every need for your particular event. Tables, standard chairs, linens, dance floor, and Event Manager are included in the cost of the room rental.

Or it makes a great space for an indoor-outdoor cocktail hour before a wedding reception in Liberty Hall.
The 1,295 square-foot Stars and Stripes Room measures 37 x 35 and accommodates around 90 guests. As with all of the Veterans Terrace rooms, the Stars and Stripes room rental includes tables, chairs, dance floor, podium and microphone.
