    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.

    They were so helpful from day of, to planning, to the DJ, and all my questions in between. I would highly suggest using this venue. We got SO many compliments from our guests. They also were so excited to have my dog involved with our wedding and that was very important to me.

    We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!
