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.

Wedding reception

I cannot say enough good things about The Ink House and especially Joanna. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. After our outdoor ceremony at a different location left my hair a mess, Joanna actually ran home to grab a curling iron and helped bustle my dress! Joanna is so outgoing, sweet, and professional. You can tell she is truly amazing at her job and doing what she's meant to do. She made our special day absolutely perfect. Thank you, Joanna! :)

Best Venue Ever!

The Ink House was truly the best venue any bride could ask for! From the staff, hospitality, beautiful decor options, to the boutique hotel connected to the venue. I could not of asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend the most amazing wedding coordinator, Joanna, as well. She was truly amazing!
