    The best venue!

    The Ink House is a breathtaking venue—charming, one-of-a-kind, and full of character. The atmosphere is unmatched, and the team is phenomenal. They go above and beyond to help create an unforgettable, dream-worthy event.
    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!

    From start to finish, everything ran smoothly, and it was all thanks to Ink House amazing staff. The team went above and beyond to take care of every detail, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness of the staff did not go unnoticed — we received so many compliments from our guests about how seamless and well-organized the day was.

    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!

    The Ink House

    The Ink House was our absolute DREAM venue! Not to mention the entire team and staff were absolutely phenomenal!! Joanna, our coordinator, was beyond amazing. I could go on and on about how great she was but the things that stood out to us were how prompt her communication was leading up to our big day, her thoroughness during our planning meeting & follow ups as well as her attentiveness on our wedding day. She was always insight if we needed anything and always made sure we were just having a great time not worrying about any logistics on that day. I cannot recommend the venue and Joanna as your preferred coordinator enough!!

    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.

    Wouldnt have wanted to get married anywhere else!

    This venue is beautiful, the staff is so nice and friendly. They will answer all of your small questions because they want to make sure you have your perfect wedding. I really cant recommend them enough. There is free parking on the weekends, the venue is easy to find, it was the perfect size for our small 30 person wedding, but it would also be the perfect size for a larger one as well. I wouldnt have wanted to get married anywhere else!!

    Wedding Reception

    The InkHouse is in short; awesome! We highly recommend this venue to anyone that is looking at a space to celebrate something special. The investment is so worth it. The staff (thank you Cheryl) were wonderful and made our planning and day of experience the best. Our guests so enjoyed all that was offered by the venue from the photo booth; to the most unique and fun setting, and to the service from the staff. Our night is one to remember because we chose this space and we won't forget all that the staff at the InkHouse did to make it this way. THANK YOU!

    The venue is absolutely beatiful! We loved the vintage modern feel of the entire venue. Cheryl was so sweet and easy to work with too!

    Incredible venue, staff and service for customizable wedding

    I cannot say enough amazing things about the Ink House. They made my wedding vision come absolutely alive. From start to finish, Hannah and Joanna of the Ink House team were so communicative and helpful that I never felt stressed. The event space is so gorgeous and malleable that brides can really make it the wedding THEY envision. No cookie-cutter, out-dated looking banquet hall here. I wanted a sophisticated space with lots of greenery, candlelight and flowers for my smaller wedding of about 110 and the Ink House made that come alive.

    They have so many rentals to choose from as well - we rented these spectacular candelabras that gave the space the soft candlelit glow I was looking for. Natural light comes through the windows and the glow of the sunset really sets off the space for an evening wedding.

    The space itself is gorgeous but it's really the staff that made it the best. Joanna went ABOVE and BEYOND in making my July 30th wedding so on-point, smooth, organized and allowed me to truly soak in my wedding day. I feel like I got to genuinely ENJOY my day because Joanna and the Ink House staff took care of me, my guests and the night. I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to the Ink House and could not recommend them enough. Book this venue immediately.

    Amazing!! The best wedding day experience

    I could not rave about The Ink House and wedding coordinator, Joanna, enough! She made it easy from the moment we started planning. Anytime I emailed Joanna, I would get a quick response with detailed information. She was there to help with anything for the rehearsal and day of the wedding. The venue was beautiful and they worked with exactly how we wanted it set up. We got married and had our reception there. Our guests raved about the multiple bar options. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to book The Ink House.

    Book The Ink House for your wedding!

    My husband and I highly recommend The Ink House!! Hannah, Kristen, Joanna and the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful and so easy to work with! We had the best wedding day! We were able to choose vendors for food, cake, DJ, a popcorn bar and our dog got to be our flower girl :) We loved the flexibility they allowed us with our decorations too. Hannah was great with communicating and kept things very organized leading up to our special day. If you have a special event coming up, book this venue!!

    Perfect Venue for our perfect day!

    The Ink House was absolutely amazing! I heard a lot from couples who used other venues that said that once they paid the bill, they never heard anything from the vendor again. That is not the case with Hannah & her crew! They were so attentive from start to finish; quick to reply to emails or texts, super detail-orientated, friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was fun, clean, and inviting. They set up, tore down, and let us really enjoy the day with nothing to worry about. I will recommend The Ink House to every single person I know for every event. Our wedding reception was perfect because of them. Thank you!

    This place is perfection

    We had our wedding at The Ink House on 4/17/2021 and it was the ceremony and reception of our dreams! I loved the industrial look of this place as soon as I saw it. This place is beautiful and has such intimacy, class and character on it's own. The owners, Kristen and Hannah, are equally great to work with and ensured that every detail of our day was executed perfectly! They answered all of our questions and took care of all set up and coordination better than I ever could have asked for. This place truly made a statement to all of our guests and is going to become one of the most popular venues outside of STL!

    A stunning venue and amazing staff!

    Where do I even start? Joanna and her team were amazing! Undecided about a venue... not anymore! This is THE VENUE for all of your events. It's beautiful with or without decor. Joanna's attention to detail, the bride and all things party planning was above and beyond. She was responsive, professional and so so very pleasant and kind to work with. I asked so many questions. Some silly, some legit.... she answered them all in a timely response and followed through on the day of. She took so much of my stress away. The Ink House has really knocked it out of the park in all aspects with this venue. I will recommend this venue to everyone!

    Our wedding experience

    The venue is a beautiful place! However, it is very hard to get a hold of the people running the business. They were flexible on when we can meet with them because I could not take off work early which we really appreciated! Our wedding day went perfectly. However, after the wedding we contacted them about things we noticed that were missing from our wedding package that we paid for, we were just stating to them that we noticed these things missing. The response we got back was them telling us all the things they did for us rather than an apology or acknowledgment that we both let those things slip. Rather than an acknowledgment they stated the things they did for us. They said they helped with set up and clean up (which was not asked of them we just thought they were being really nice and we loved to have their input) giving our guest free drinks (we had a bar package we paid for and we’re not over the number of people, still confused on that one), and extended time prior to the event for the cake and DJ to get set up which we were told was no extra time and to not worry about that they do that for all their brides. We thought these “extra” things they were doing for us was nice and they were trying to help but the second we question things that weren’t present in the package we paid for the nice things we thought they were doing as owner of the venue and to just help out were thrown in our faces.
