Venue History

Artifact Events, located in Chicago’s historic Ravenswood neighborhood, is a venue that blends timeless elegance with industrial charm. Originally housing the Boye Needle Company, a manufacturing facility for sewing needles, the space has undergone significant transformations over the years. The building, steeped in architectural history, later served as an antique store known as Architectural Artifacts before evolving into the breathtaking event venue it is today.

The venue seamlessly combines two historic structures, preserving their original features such as exposed brick walls and timber beams, while incorporating unique additions like one of a kind chandeliers salvaged from a Texas hotel. Opened in 2016, Artifact Events provides a one-of-a-kind backdrop for weddings, corporate gatherings, and social celebrations, all while honoring the craftsmanship and history of its past. With its blend of historic beauty and modern amenities, Artifact Events offers an unforgettable setting that inspires creativity and connection.
