  • Up to 250 guests

The Wagner House, located in the historic Wagner Print Building, is a three-story industrial warehouse in downtown Freeport, Illinois. The building was built in 1903 and was one of the first buildings that had electricity in Freeport. Established in 1853 and incorporated on March 9, 1912, the Wagner Building was home to the German-born Wagner Family who, like Freeport, has a long and interesting history. The Wagner House also served as an industrial manufacturing spot for textiles and fashion. For four generations, the business did not change hands, and the present Wagner company pledged to continue their record of quality printing and letterpress and are still in business today. In 2013, The Wagner building was sold to Bill Green to redevelop and re-imagine it, creating a wine bar, business incubator, and beautiful event space.

“The Wagner House was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, they had great communication and were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The staff was incredibly attentive on the day of the wedding, assisting with the transition from the ceremony to dinner and even helping with small details like setting up the name tags. I was so impressed by their efficiency and how smoothly everything ran. The space itself was exactly what we were looking for - it had the ideal atmosphere and vibe we wanted for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and highly recommend The Wagner House!”
