About this venue

At WOW Event Center we believe our guests should have the opportunity to experience the historic charm of Alton’s Riverfront District. Our venue is housed in a series of buildings dating back to the 1880’s. These buildings contain rustic elements with a chic industrial ambiance featuring exposed brick, hardwood floors, a pallet wall and visible rafters. Events that take place during the day are complemented by the beautiful view of the world-renowned Clark Bridge and the glistening Mississippi River. At night, the lights of Alton’s famed bridge create a spectacular backdrop for the evening’s activities. These design features have made us one of the most unique venues in the Midwest.

This affords you the opportunity to dramatically reduce your overall expenditures, thus allowing you to create a memorable experience for your guests while staying within your budget.
