The Ink House- It doesn't get any better than this!

The Ink House is such a rare gem located right in downtown Edwardsville. We fell in love with the venue at the first visit. It has a unique history and such character. It's evident that thought and love went into turning this building into the stunning modern venue it is today!

Hannah and Kristin were down-to-earth, approachable, and responsive. Their disposition was such that even in the height of the planing and stress they provided such a calming environment and sound input/suggestions on how to make the day perfect! Every staff member was so friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that guests were comfortable. We received so many compliments on the aesthetic of the venue and how service focused staff were! No better team to trust with the most important day of your life.

Incredible venue!

Nick and I had the honor of getting married at The Ink House located in downtown Edwardsville, Illinois. We had the pleasure to work with their event manager, Joanna. She was incredible! Joanna went above and beyond getting us prepared for our big day and was an absolute joy to work with! The Ink House allowed us to have our dream wedding. We could not be more pleased. The planning was made easy and they were accommodating of last minute changes. We highly recommend using The Ink House as your wedding venue!

Best day of our lives

My wife and I had our wedding at this venue. It was exactly what we hoped for and more. We were unable to get into the venue the night before and Joanna and her team did an excellent job prepping the space the morning-of. My spouse and I live out of town and had never met Joanna in person until the day-of. Regardless, Joanna’s ability to communicate during the months leading to the wedding was excellent. She responded in a timely manner and was always very professional. On the wedding day, Joanna went above and beyond while making sure my wife and I had the most picture perfect and stress-free day.
