“The BRIX on the Fox was fantastic for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was quick, accommodating, and consistent. The quality of their work and value was amazing - they have a great sound system, fantastic lighting, and an incredible staff. They helped us with all the planning and execution, and we had zero hiccups at the venue. The staff really got to know us and our vision, and they helped us execute it all perfectly. A special thank you to Erin for meeting with us so many times and for being calming presence on our wedding day! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue - highly recommend The BRIX on the Fox!”
