Amazing venue!
We held our wedding at Brick and Mortar and when I tell you they're the best possible venue choice you could find, I'm not lying. The entire planning process was seamless, wonderful, fun, helpful, and flexible. The venue is BEAUTIFUL, spacious, and has a on-site bridal suite and grooms suite. The balcony second floor was the perfect place for us to hold our cocktail hour while the ceremony space was flipped to the reception. They offer food/catering and bar services although you don't have to book through them, I don't know why you wouldn't. The catering was some of the BEST food I've ever eaten in my life (shoutout Craig) and the menu is completely customizable. When we wanted customized appetizers for cocktail hour, Craig sat down with us to create the exact passable apps that we were looking for. The dinner was served buffet style, and was delicious and hot. I'm still dreaming about the pesto ravioli and sirloin!!! Bernice was our main contact for planning purposes and she was so friendly and sweet that I seriously squealed when I saw her two different times on wedding day. My bridesmaids were obsessed with the bartender, Lorenzo, and I found the bar packages to be very fairly priced especially considering that it included the staff and the glassware. I cannot say enough good things about Brick and Mortar Events and if you choose them for your wedding venue you will NOT regret it, trust me!!

Highly Recommend!
If you're looking for a venue to host your celebration, you can stop looking and choose Brick & Mortar. We celebrated our wedding here and it was everything I could have imagined and more. My husband & I toured many venues and nothing felt right until we made our last stop at Brick & Mortar. Immediately we knew it was the place for our wedding, it's gorgeous, classic, and welcoming. Then when we spoke to Bernadette & Jerry and it only reinforced our decision to move forward. They are experts at what they do and are so kind & helpful. I didn't feel overwhelmed wedding planning because they give great advice & know how to run the day of schedule.
- The venue is beautiful. It's simple and easy. The ceremony happens on the first floor, cocktail hour on the 2nd floor, & the reception back on the first floor. It's such easy transitions & the team does a great job.
- The food is amazing!! All our guests raved about the food. We wish we could have Jerry's food all the time. We will definitely use their catering services for future events.
- The staff are friendly and professional. They took care of our guests and us as if we were family. Special shout-out to Ms. Patti!
- Bernadette & Jerry know what they are doing. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming but don't worry, Brick & Mortar will make it a seamless day
- They own McWades Inn which is a 5 minute walk from the venue. We and our families stayed there and it was incredible. Our families loved spending time together in such a beautiful home. Truly that Inn is so beautiful and spacious. We took our getting ready photos there
I can go on and on about Brick & Mortar. We had the most perfect wedding there. I'm so grateful to their team. Our friends say we threw the wedding of the year but truly, we didn't do much! Jerry, Bernadette, & their team made it happen.

High-Quality Service & Wonderful to Work With
My husband and I got married at Brick & Mortar Events – highly recommend! I fell in love with the venue from the first time that I visited, as it is truly stunning. The event space is very elegant, spacious, and cozy. Jerry and Bernadette did an amazing job of designing the space, such that it is beautiful on its own and requires minimal decoration. They also deeply care for their venue and clients, such that they provide a high quality of service. There are many smaller details that make such a significant difference and set them apart from other event spaces. For instance, the packages include tables, chairs, linens, tableware, etc., which allows you to focus on more important aspects of the event.
Truly, it was so easy to work with them throughout the entire planning process. Jerry and Bernadette were very organized, responsive, flexible, and patient. They are genuinely kind and trustworthy people that have your best interests in mind. Jerry is such a talented chef – our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious each dish was! He was very helpful in designing our menu and pairing certain items together. We also really appreciated the Brick & Mortar staff: all of them were polite, organized, and professional! Again, I would absolutely recommend Brick & Mortar Events (:

A very great experience!
The owners were nice and flexible when we changed our wedding date! They were always willing to work with us and being able to make sure all changes were what we wanted. The venue it self was amazing and so was the food and drinks. The wedding wouldn't have been so magical without them
Would recommend!!

Perfect venue for our dream wedding!
There are not enough good things that we can say about working with Jerry and Bernadette at Brick and Mortar Events to make our dream wedding come true. Our original date was impacted by the uncertainty of the COVID-19 closures. Jerry and Bernadette were so flexible and understanding and truly collaborated with us to move our wedding to a new date. Their venue is beautiful. We held our ceremony and reception there and they were quick with setup and flipping the space while the cocktail hour was held upstairs. It was so nice to have the bridal suite to get ready in, the outdoor deck space with fire pits and having the bar in a central location to keep everyone part of the party. Their staff was so fun, kind and accommodating. They kept the buffet organized, were quick to clean up and were always checking in on us and our guests. And the food, we cannot say enough about the food! It was so much fun having a food tasting with Jerry and Bernadette to decide what we would be serving at the wedding. There were so many great options that it was difficult to choose! The food is so delicious and we received many compliments on it. They were also accommodating for a few of our guests who had dietary restrictions. We are so thankful to have had our wedding at Brick and Mortar Events and we would highly recommend everyone to consider holding your big day here, you will not be disappointed!
