About this venue
Located in the heart of downtown Edwardsville, IL, The Ink House is a historic wedding and event venue that blends timeless character with modern-industrial design. Owner Kristen Pfund has brought new life to this landmark building, creating a one-of-a-kind setting for weddings, celebrations, and special occasions.
Just one block from Main Street, The Ink House was once home to The Edwardsville Intelligencer, a local newspaper that operated in the building beginning in 1921. Today, the venue honors its rich history while offering a versatile and thoughtfully designed space where couples can bring their wedding vision to life.
With nearly 6,000 square feet of indoor event space, The Ink House offers multiple areas for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and private celebrations. The Press Room, the venue’s largest event space, features exposed brick, industrial details, and seating for up to 250 guests. The Press Room Lounge provides an inviting atmosphere for cocktail hours and social gatherings, complete with an in-house photo booth.
Expanding beyond the original building, The Ink House also offers Off The Record, an additional event space featuring approximately 2,500 square feet of outdoor courtyard space, ideal for ceremonies and cocktail hours. Couples can choose to host their celebration in one venue or utilize both spaces for a more expansive wedding experience.
The Ink House also offers convenient access to Urban Collective Boutique Hotel, an eight-suite hotel located next door. Each suite features its own unique design and character, providing a comfortable and memorable stay for couples, wedding parties, and out-of-town guests.

To make the planning process easier, The Ink House provides in-house bar services, including customizable beverage packages and signature cocktails. Couples can also choose from a selection of trusted preferred caterers and have the flexibility to personalize their celebration with their own vendors for other wedding services.
From its historic architecture to its versatile event spaces and modern amenities, The Ink House offers a memorable setting for couples looking for a wedding venue that feels uniquely their own.

Best wedding venue this side of the river!!
The best venue!
Stepping into our beautiful reception from behind the green velvet curtain is a moment I’ll cherish forever. Being carried into the night by my husband, in the very place where our love story began, will live in our hearts and minds forever!
Joanna, Cheryl, Olivia, all of the bartenders and event staff were incredibly helpful and so kind! Joanna was the best coordinator and made all of my visions come to life, she was very communicative and detailed in all of our plans and made the whole process seamless and stress. I would recommend anyone to hold a wedding reception or any other event here! 10/10!
