Greatest Day of our Lives!
Our wedding was nothing short of magical, and so much of that is thanks to this venue and their incredible team. Not only is the space beautiful, but it’s also located right in the heart of the **Burlington wedding district**, where everything you could possibly need is just steps away—bridal shops, florists, restaurants, Airbnbs, and even furniture and décor rental shops. It’s truly a **one-stop shop**, which made the entire planning experience so much smoother and stress-free. Our onsite coordinator was an *absolute joy and pleasure* to partner with throughout the entire planning process. She supported me every step of the way, and she was right there to hug me both before and after I married the love of my life. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made such a difference, and I can truly say I’ve gained a **lifelong friend** through this experience. And the DJ—just phenomenal. His energy and dedication to making our day the absolute best were unmatched. He brought all the vibes, all the expertise, and played the **best music from start to the literal finish** of our day. The entire celebration flowed perfectly because of him, and the dance floor never missed a beat. If you’re considering this venue, let this be your sign to book it. You’ll be cared for, supported, and surrounded by people who genuinely want your day to shine. We could not be more grateful!
Response from vendor•Dec 1, 2025Hi, Jess! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. One of the greatest senses of satisfaction and joy we get to feel as professionals in the wedding world is to hear that you felt truly cared for and supported throughout your journey, and that you tangibly felt like the star on your wedding day as you marked and celebrated your shared story true love. It means so much to us that Nicole's care, knowledge, and professionalism played such a role in your planning process, and that our DJ team was able to seriously deliver the party for your reception. It has been such a gift to us to be able to come alongside you and your husband through this chapter of your lives, and our whole team will always be grateful to you as well for allowing us to take part in the joy and perfection of your matchless love story. We're wishing you all the best and sending you all the love as you enter your beautiful next chapter together as husband and wife. – Sincerely, your friends at Mercantile Hall!Halloween Wedding
We had our Halloween wedding here, and it was truly the most magical, seamless, and unforgettable day! From the moment we booked, the team made us feel so supported and excited — and Beth, our planner, was absolutely incredible. She helped execute every detail of our vision perfectly and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. She coordinated with all our vendors, kept everything on schedule, and was such a calm and joyful presence throughout the day. We had an outdoor ceremony that couldn’t have been more beautiful — we received so many compliments on how stunning the location was! We did the highest bar package, which included a welcome drink and two signature cocktails, and added the apple cider upgrade — such a perfect touch for a fall wedding. The drinks were a huge hit with our guests, and they even created a special cocktail just for me as the bride, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Our guests are still raving about the atmosphere, the setting, and how personalized everything felt. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience. If you’re looking for a venue that brings your vision to life and makes your day effortless and extraordinary, this is the place!
Response from vendor•Nov 12, 2025Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Kerry! We’re thrilled your Halloween wedding at Mercantile Hall was everything you hoped for and more. Beth and our team loved helping bring your fall vision to life, from the beautiful outdoor ceremony to those custom cocktails that made the night unforgettable. It means so much to hear your guests are still raving about the experience, and we're so happy to hear that our team and atmosphere helped your wedding day feel so effortless and personal! Sending so much love from your venue team here in Burlington! Cheers to your happily ever after!A Beautiful, Seamless, and Memorable Experience
From the very first tour to the final moments of our wedding day, our experience with Mercantile Hall was absolutely exceptional. The entire team made the process smooth, thoughtful, and stress-free. Special shoutout to our wedding coordinator Beth, who was kind, detail-oriented, and an amazing communicator throughout the planning process. Nicole and Nikki also supported us along the way, and we’re so grateful to all three of them. The venue and bar staff on the day of the wedding were incredible, attentive, professional, and made sure everyone had a great time. The vendors they recommended were top-notch, fairly priced, easy to work with, and aligned with our vision. We also loved that the venue has its own wedding dress boutique upstairs, I actually got my dress there, and it was a perfect experience. Guests raved about how beautiful the space is. You can go all out with decor, but honestly, even with a more minimalist design (as we chose), the space looks stunning on its own. We also appreciated how convenient everything was, from the coffee shop, bar, and restaurant nearby, to the Airbnbs right next door (we used both for getting ready!), and the hotel within walking distance (especially useful if you book the coordination package to secure room blocks). And whenever we had questions or concerns, the Mercantile team was always quick to clarify and help. They really listen, and that made a huge difference. We 100% recommend Mercantile Hall to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue with a fantastic team. It truly made our big day magical.
Response from vendor•Sep 8, 2025Thank you so much, Oriana! We’re honored Mercantile Hall could make your wedding experience seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Beth, Nicole, and Nikki loved supporting you, and it means so much to know our team, bar staff, and vendor partners all helped bring your vision to life in such a beautiful way. Burlington is such a one-of-a-kind downtown with so many incredible resources (wedding and non-wedding!). And it means everything to hear you felt truly listened to and prioritized by all of our team members. Thank you for your amazing review, and thank you even more for sharing your love with us at Mercantile Hall. Wishing you all the best as you enter married life together! Cheers to happily ever after!Incredible Venue
