Your Event Space (Formerly WOW Event Center) - Alton, Illinois

We loved this venue from the beginning! It’s a beautiful space and all of the people we worked with made our day flow seamlessly. Barbie and Shelly were so helpful, informative, and hospitable. We really enjoyed our day and are so happy we chose this space. We can’t wait to see the photos with the beautiful details around the venue.

Your Event Space was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! Barbie and her team made our night go extremely smoothly, keeping things on time and checking in! The bartenders were absolutely amazing, too! Would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful space and an amazing team that will make your special day perfect.

My fiancé and I toured a lot of venues, and none of them were what we were looking for or in our price range. Then we toured Your Event Space with Barbie and fell in love with the venue. As well as their hotel down the road. We were on a fixed budget and discussed at length with Barbie and found a solution that would work for both of us. We had a weekday wedding and had the venue for 7 hours. Able to do a first look, get a bunch of wonderful photos, have a beautiful ceremony, and get some dancing in.

It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue. It would be helpful to have your own day of coordinator but if you have a designated family member/friend present then you should be fine. Between the photographers and Barbie we were able to make our dream day come true.

We had our wedding at Your Event Space recently and it was everything and more than we hoped for! First of all, Barbie is so warm and caring. I was planning my wedding from across the world, and I felt so reassured by how communicative and available she always made herself to answer my questions and meet my requests. The venue's decoration room is packed with everything you could need for your special day, and they took great care of us by doing all the decoration work and clean up at the end. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous -- all my friends and family continue to comment how much they loved the venue and how beautiful it was. One aspect I really liked was how the bar and catering were in a separate room but still just a few steps away from the reception room. Very classy. The prep rooms are GORGEOUS with a fridge and bar-top in the next room so that you can brunch while you get ready. We were allowed in at 8 a.m. and had full run of the place. And I knew that my fiance was safely in the other wing of the building with his own comfortable (and beautiful!) prep room that didn't risk him running into me before our first look. Honestly, I cannot say enough about this incredible venue. I would recommend it 10 times over if I could. Thank you, Barbie! Thank you, Your Event Space!!!! You truly gave my husband and I THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

The most beautiful venue, helpful staff, and BEST bartenders ever. I received so many compliments on my choosing of “Your Event Space” as my wedding venue and I would recommend it to anyone! It was truly the wedding of my dreams. Barbie exceeded my expectations with communication over the time of planning out our big day, and she remained on site during the wedding to ensure things went to plan. I couldn’t thank you all enough. You have impacted my husband and I in a way we could never repay. Thank you!

This is the second time I have been lucky enough to use this extraordinary venue. The first was for the wedding and reception of my son. I fell in love with the space, the staff, all the unique, beautiful touches. When it came time for my own reception, I knew there was no where else I would rather be. Took my then-fiance with me and HE loved it as much as I did. We received help and support leading up to our event. When our day finally came, everything was absolutely PERFECT! The decor, the set up, the ambiance, the drinks available, EVERYTHING was just perfect. The space is comfortable and unique. The evening exceeded my expectations!! Staff is SOOO EASY to work with and made me feel confident in my choice!

Photographer's Review:

My wife and I are photographers and videographers @brookerodgersphotography! This was our first time shooting at this venue. Great service. Great looking venue. 🙂 A great balance of elegance and chic.

The only suggestion I would offer (from a photographer's standpoint) is for the ceilings to be changed to white. Reason being, it greatly affects the color of the flash on people's skin. Makes it hard to edit in post production.

Obviously hard to make a change like this. Just a suggestion!
