Yes, Trigger hosts both your ceremony and reception in the same loft, and there's no ceremony up-charge. The single-story space on West Addison Street has 14-foot ceilings, wood floors, charcoal-gray and natural brick walls, and bistro lights strung across exposed beams, and it holds up to 150 guests. Dressing suites are included, so your wedding party has a place to get ready on site.

Yes, bring them. Trigger welcomes any caterer and any style of food, and you can bring your own alcohol as long as your bartending is licensed and insured. Caterers get two kitchens to work with: a warming kitchen with an island, and a full restaurant-style kitchen with an 8-burner commercial range, a 90-second commercial dishwasher and a large commercial fridge and freezer.

Trigger's rental in Chicago runs $2,000–4,300 per event, depending on the day of the week and how much of the space you reserve. That covers ceremony and reception space, dressing suites, tables and chairs and the audio system, and Trigger adds no security fee, ceremony up-charge, insurance fee or tax. Because you bring your own caterer and alcohol, your food and drink costs are set by the vendors you hire rather than a venue menu, and packages are available on request. Add-ons such as bottomless popcorn, a photobooth or vintage dishes cost extra.

At Trigger you can get in at 10am on your wedding day, and the event has to end by midnight, though you and your crew can stay until 1am to wrap up. Amplified music is allowed, and the loft has an integrated music system with room volume control and wireless mics for toasts.
