Elegant surroundings make any event better, and that makes the Masonic Event Center the perfect setting for any occasion. Classic architecture and tasteful decor provide rooms that are lovely by themselves, but they won't get "in the way" if you choose your own decorations. Your event should create lasting memories, not bills that last for years!
That's why we strive to make our pricing not just competitive, but the best value in the region. No matter what the size and purpose of your gathering, we have a room that is the right size and provides the right atmosphere and amenities. Here you'll find spaces ranging from lodge rooms, which are perfect for business presentations and conferences, to a fully equipped auditorium.

The Masonic Event Center was naturally built by Masons, who have been meeting in Freeport since way back in 1855, the same year Freeport was incorporated as a city. The site of the center was once a huge bramble where the local children picked blackberries to their heart's content, and it remained so for decades after the first settlers arrived.
Yes, but we only allow the piano to be used by special arrangement ahead of time, to ensure it stays tuned and is kept in excellent condition. There is an additional charge for its use. The Masonic Event Center includes a lift for guests who are wheelchair-equipped or have other mobility issues.
We and our guests must comply with city ordinances, and they require that events where alcohol is served be concluded by 1am on Monday through Thursday nights and by 2am on Friday & Saturday nights.We're glad to work with your caterer! However, please keep in mind that your caterer will need to be licensed by the Stephenson County Health Department and will need to be properly insured.

Making your event truly special requires more than a certain amount of space at a certain time. You need the space itself to be appealing and appropriate to the purpose of the gathering with amenities, service, and maybe even a delicious meal and beverages. Here are the distinctions that make the Masonic Event Center the right place to host any gathering from 12 to 1,200.
There's nothing quite like the moment two lives are joined together. It's sacred, and it should happen in a beautiful space. At that moment, everyone should be focused on the significance and romance of it, not on bills, arrangements, or stress. The Masonic Event Center is one of the premiere event venues in the tri-state area, and it's the perfect location for that lovely wedding experience.
But what if your business event venue offered classic beauty, a central location, and all the modern amenities you need? Our business event venue is unique, and we can make a strong business case for why it's the perfect place for your corporate or civic event. That's why organizations from the Illinois National Guard to the Lions and Kiwanis choose us for their major events.

We went to the David Phelps Christian Concert herr and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Wonderful music very talented musicians and a warm, friendly atmosphere. There was humor along with an amazing artist. Would DEFINITELY return to another Christian concert here. Prices were much better than other concert facilities and people and staff were very helpful and curtiess. An evening well spent.

We had our wedding reception here. We had a great time at the Masonic Temple. Jeff, the caterer, helped to make the day go super smoothly. He was easy to get a hold of, the months before the wedding, to answer any questions. And he really went the extra mile to make the day special for us. Highly recommend!
