Gorgeous Venue & Amazing Team!!

Artifact Events is amazing! We had our wedding ceremony in the courtyard and reception in the south ravenswood room. It was absolutely gorgeous! The venue is so beautiful with its exposed wood beams, brick walls, and unique accents. We really didn't have to add too much decor to the space! And don't get me started on how stunning the courtyard is for a wedding reception – it truly exceeded our expectations. There is also plenty of free parking right outside the venue which was so helpful for some of our guests coming in from the suburbs. We knew right away that this was our wedding venue the minute we walked in!

The Artifact Events team was also wonderful to work with – specifically Christine! She was always so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. She was extremely thorough during our final walkthrough and allowed us to drop all of our decor off the day before our wedding (which eliminated so much stress the day of). The bartenders provided to us through Artifact were also amazing! So many of our guests actually told us how much they enjoyed talking to them during our reception. We absolutely loved having our wedding at Artifact and would do it again in a heartbeat! THANK YOU to Christine and the rest of the team!!

The Perfect Venue!

Artifact Events was the PERFECT venue for my wife and I to get married in on 3/7/2020. Everyone who works there has been such a pleasure to work with and made our entire process easy. We used the North Atrium and it was honestly our favorite thing about our whole wedding. All of our guests loved the industrialized look; it was so romantic and comfortable for our guest count of 175. Christine was very enjoyable and professional to work with. It helps that our vendors all worked in the space before - we did not have to worry about a thing before we arrived. We highly recommend using this venue!

Gorgeous venue, great flow for the space

Our venue search was pretty much over before it began - as soon as we walked in, my fiance saw the look on my and my sister's face and knew that everywhere else was going to pale in comparison. Lucky for us, it was everything we needed, and at a comparable/reasonable price for a venue that can hold 200 in the city. Sachiko was responsive and professional, and was proactive about communicating changes to the space as it transitioned from being an antique store to solely an event space. The space is accessible, felt both bustling but not too crowded at 175 people (200 might have felt a bit tight but manageable), and they were very flexible about dropping in to look at the space, dropping wedding items off the day before, etc. My only drawback is that it is a little dark - and the additional lighting that pretty much every wedding example that we looked at in the space will add about $2000 to your budget. Otherwise, it was an absolutely perfect space that was unique, impressive and just what we had in mind for a city wedding! (Beautiful photography by Angela Renee Photography)
