About The Dils Center

Welcome to The Dils Center, a historic four-story venue in the heart of downtown Parkersburg. Spanning about 101,000 square feet across multiple ballrooms and a full basement, this space has welcomed weddings, private parties, concerts, bingo nights, and nightlife events over the years. While the property is undergoing revival plans to become Dils Plaza, the site remains a cornerstone for versatile events. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating flexibility, parking, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth visit.

Whether you’re hosting an elegant wedding, a corporate gathering, or a community event, The Dils Center offers adaptable spaces across its historic layout.
