Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Once the home of Edwardsville’s local newspaper, this unique space—tucked right at the heart of the city’s charming downtown district—has been stylishly restored, and now boasts innovative gathering areas that lovingly preserve the building’s historic integrity.
- The Press Room's design is rustic-industrial sophistication at its best, with exposed brick walls, a vaulted ceiling, tons of natural light, and flooring of wood and polished concrete. There’s also a beautiful Art Deco-inspired bar area, and a fun in-house photo booth.
- An adjacent venue, Off The Record, features a chic outdoor “urban courtyard” and an additional indoor space; it can be rented on its own, or in conjunction with the Press Room. There’s a posh boutique hotel right next door, so you won’t have to go far once the evening wraps up.
