Hidden gem!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue! This place is truly a hidden gem. We loved that we could pick all our own vendors. Scott, the owner, was absolutely fabulous. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs made the planning process so much easier.

Leading up to our wedding, Scott was a calming presence, helping to ease any anxieties we had about how things would unfold. Thanks to his support, everything went off without a hitch, and we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a cool, flexible space that you can make your own!

An amazing space

We often drive by Trigger and only with wedding planning did we discover exactly what happens there: MAGIC! My now-husband and I recently hosted our ceremony and reception at Trigger in Roscoe Village, and we were wowed and thrilled with how amazing our event was. Scott helped us with so many planning aspects, and helped out event go off without a single hitch, aside from us getting hitched :) We really appreciated having full control of the vendors we used, and the recommendations were great. The rentals through Trigger were all so easy and seamless, and really elevated our event.

Experienced and Compassionate

My experience with Trigger was beyond amazing. From e-mail correspondence to consultation to the day of event setup, Scott was attentive, shared much-needed resources and insight to help me bring my vision to life. When I needed to make last minute adjustments due to not having as many guests as intended, he was flexible and shared ways to cut costs and tripled as space owner, event coordinator and life coach through my troubles. I look forward to working with him again.
