  • THE Dream Wedding Venue!

    Kalenna B.Nov 17, 2024

    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!

    We got married at Mercantile Hall on 9/21/24 and cannot recommend them enough! We had both our ceremony and reception there and guests loved that they didn't have to travel from one place to another. We used their DJ service and LOVED DJ Levi. He did an excellent job at playing music that we suggested while keeping the dance floor full and making appropriate announcements as needed. We got the coordinator package through Merc and had Nicole as our day of coordinator. She was seriously the best through every step of the way including the in-person and phone meetings we had with her throughout the planning process and all of the emails and questions that we had along the way. She was quick to respond and helpful with all of the planning. On the day of, they set up the venue even better than how I could have imagined it and everything was so beautiful. The bartenders and all of the other staff were also so amazing. All of the staff were so supportive. SO many guests told me it was one of the best weddings they have been to and I think the venue itself along with the amazing Mercantile Hall team are the reasons for that. Everything went perfect and I really thank the Mercantile Hall team. Their communication, professionalism, and desire to ensure your wedding day is the best is what makes them the perfect venue.

    My husband and I got married at Mercantile Hall this past May and we adored every minute of it. We knew immediately after taking a tour that it was our venue. In fact, we wanted to get married at Merc. so bad, that we booked it before being officially engaged. We have received more compliments about the venue than you could imagine both during and since the wedding. 10/10 recommend getting the day of coordinator package. Racheal was our coordinator and I was blown away!! When I saw all of the decor set up, it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She was there for us every step of the way and responded to any questions we had in a timely manner. Racheal literally only had to ask me one question the whole wedding, otherwise she took care of everything and did it so seamlessly. Mercantile Hall staff also cleaned up all of our decor which is priceless. They even took care to wrap all of my vases and package everything so it wouldn’t get damaged on the way home. Trust me when I say that you NEED to get married here!

    We LOVED Mercantile Hall! It was the first and only venue we toured. We fell in love with it and knew it was the only venue we wanted. It is beyond beautiful! We used their coordinate package and Destiny was our coordinator. She was truly amazing and made our wedding truly special. I loved that with their coordinator package they handle all the set up and clean up at the end of the night. It was pretty expensive but well worth it in my opinion.
