Our little guy is in the baby of the year contest and he’s currently in 4th place in his group. To move up to the next round of competition, he needs to be in 1st place and we need some help!

Votes are free & you can vote once daily per voting method by confirming your FB and/or phone number.

We would love the additional support! Cohen is really good at conducting tours during the week & helping me mop after parties!

One baby will appear in a national ad campaign with The Honest Company, win $25,000, and be celebrated in Variety Magazine.

✨ Let us reintroduce ourselves ✨

Whether you’ve been following us from the beginning or you just recently found our little corner of East Moline, we’re so glad you’re here. 🤍

We’re Lily & Aster Events - an intimate event venue located inside a beautiful historic library, created to be the backdrop for life’s moments worth celebrating.

We've been a little absent from Social Media lately - and someone brought it to my attention that they had a hard time finding pictures of our space! I've grabbed a handful of photos of the venue dressed up and down, so you can get the best idea of what your dream event could look like.

From bridal and baby showers to birthdays, graduations, weddings, celebrations of life, corporate events and everything in between, we’ve had the privilege of watching this space come to life in so many different ways.

Lily & Aster seats up to 96 people, but looks absolutely perfect with 50 people, too! We have a kitchenette including a refrigerator/freezer, a sink, and a microwave. We have two family bathrooms (both with changing tables). Lily & Aster also offers off-street parking!

Lily & Aster is staffed by a small, amazing team of women that genuinely LOVES being part of your events. Your event will be staffed by at least one staff member that assists with setup & cleanup, and is just a couple of steps away during your party. We're here to answer questions, help with details, cheer on your ideas and make hosting your event feel a little easier.

So whether you’ve celebrated with us before, have an event coming up, or have just been quietly following along…

Hi again. 🤍 We’re so happy you’re here.

📍 740 16th Ave, East Moline, Illinois
🥂 Weddings • Showers • Birthdays • Rehearsal Dinners
✨ Up to 96 guests

KWQC is running a story that mentions our event venue having extensive damages due to a singular vehicle crash into the building.

While this happened to the building our venue is in, fortunately, our venue does not have any damages. This happened in the back part of the building where the railroad club houses the model railroad.

We are happy that no one was majorly injured, our venue is okay, and no one was in the building at the time of the crash.

We are still looking for books! If you need a good time to drop off - please DM us! Our hours are different this week with the holiday!

We have volunteered to be a “drop spot” for the Miss Illinois/Miss Iowa Youth community book drive!

We will have a box in our elevator lobby (closest entrance to the parking lot) from now until July 6th to donate new or gently used children’s & young adult books.

All books collected will be donated throughout the Iowa & Illinois community to share the love of reading to as many children as we can!

Our elevator lobby is open Monday evenings from about 4 PM until 7 PM, as well as weekends during events. If you would like to DM us to get a better look on when to drop off - that’s perfect too! We will let staff know when to expect you so we can ensure the door is unlocked.

If you have books you would like to donate - but do not have the time or means to visit L&A - please reach out - my daughter and I would be happy to come & collect them!
