Fun Venue, Cool Owners! If you’re rad, book your wedding here! Scott is awesome & so flexible! The venue itself is so fun & an open canvas to whatever you want to do with it. I’m a Wedding Planner whose client hosted their wedding here this past Sunday and we had a great time! I appreciated that while there was a lot included in the venue, we also had the complete freedom to add on as needed and as budget allowed. I cannot say enough good things about the team here at Trigger and the venue. Great space!! - Anna
Hands-down amazing location!
Trigger is a hands-down amazing location, and Scott is a joy to work with. The space is beautiful, and you have flexibility to decorate as desired, bring in your own food and drinks (we had Irazu cater, which was perfect because they knew the space and had worked there before).
Scott was there to help with things as they popped up and was incredibly communicative throughout—cannot recommend it highly enough. Also, the price for renting the space cannot be beat—everything else we looked at was easily twice as much.. - Sasha K
10/10 Will ALWAYS Recommend!
We just had our wedding at Trigger and could not have chosen a better venue. Scott is SO helpful and has everything you could dream of to make any event exactly how you want it.
We wanted a venue with full flexibility to choose our own caterer and other vendors, which Scott accommodates easily… Except his suggestions were too good to pass up, so we ended up using his favorite caterer (Bryan Eder), staffing (Carol’s), and bar vendor (Bottle’s & Cans).
I had a million and two questions as I planned everything, and Scott was quick to reply and always had an answer or solution to my concerns.
5 stars isn’t enough!! - Emily G

Quirky, Spunky, Fun The best possible choice for our vibe! As a DIY couple, Trigger gave us the freedom to do all we wanted with our cabaret-style wedding. Scott was easily reachable and lovely to work with, and all the staff present on the day of made our party even more fun. Their pricing is straightforward, and their attitude is lovely. - Hilary W
EVERYTHING was perfect… EVERYTHING!!!
Both the hosts were on top of things, professional, and made sure everything was in order for my big day. The pictures don’t do this venue justice…
I wanted to cry at my party. Everything was amazing. - Melanie P
Trigger is owned and run by Scott & Julie Tallarida - us! Somehow we created Trigger, a place for amazing events and creative souls. Since 2015 we've had countless weddings, bar mitzvahs, meditation weekends, corporate workshops, photo/video shoots and MORE! Basically everything you can imagine has happened in our little corner of Chicago. You can learn all about it in this great article from Voyage Chicago.
There's a sign in Trigger that says "Work Hard and Be Nice". That really sums us up. People coming together has never been more important than it is today. We are so happy to have made Trigger a soft landing for everyone!
