About

On WeddingWire since 2016

Mercantile Hall

Mercantile Hall is an urban-chic wedding venue located in the historic heart of Burlington, WI, and can accommodate up to 220 guests. With 15′ ceilings, original brick walls, and honey-toned wood floors, Mercantile Hall’s main event space offers a blank-slate backdrop that’s suitable for every style – from dreamy and romantic, to bold and edgy. After all, your wedding celebration should be as unique as your one-of-a-kind love!

The Urb Garden

Nestled next to Mercantile Hall, The Urb Garden offers the ideal setting for outdoor ceremonies, photo ops, and unique guest experiences. A custom-made iron garden gate, 60’ cedar pergola, and cream-colored brick walls adorned with lush vines create an “urban garden” vibe. Choose between two ceremony set-ups – make a grand entrance through the gates for a moment that will leave everyone breathless, or use the gate and its lantern-adorned arch as a stunning backdrop for your nuptials. Similar to the venue’s blank-slate interior, this heavenly space offers the versatility you need to bring your unique vision to life.

Your guests are sure to love their experience in The Urb Garden. Enjoy cocktail hour with Suesanna, our vintage camper bar, yard games under the pergola after dinner, or a cozy firepit and s’more experience after sunset.

Team & Services

The team at Mercantile Hall celebrates love of all kinds and takes pride in the exceptional service they provide to each unique couple on their special day. Thanks to their close connections with local businesses, they can provide you with a long list of talented photographers, entertainers, caterers, designers, and more for your wedding day. In-house bar services, coordination services, and DJ services are also available. Schedule a tour to see this gorgeous space in person, meet our incredible team, and fall in love with your wedding venue!

History

Our building was constructed before the end of the 19th century, serving as a mercantile (a retailer), a department store, and a furniture store throughout the years. A massive 5-alarm fire swept through the building in 2014, but there was an incredible discovery made in the cleanup - the original hardwood floors had survived, protected beneath a fireproof polyester covering. This and the stunning original brick walls inspired a new chapter in the story of the building, turning it into an authentically unique setting for special events.

We Loved the Mercantile Hall!

We had an amazing experience with Mercantile Hall and are so happy we decided to have our wedding here! The venue itself is stunning and has so much character. We loved that it was indoor/outdoor and the new upstairs bridal suite was perfect for getting ready. The price-point is very fair and we loved the a la carte nature of the pricing and add-ons because you can really build out the wedding that makes the most sense for you. The staff was caring, thoughtful, attentive, and helpful at every step of the planning process. We decided to take advantage of their Coordinator package, which made everything so easy. Racheal did an amazing job helping us to bring our vision to life and answered every little question and email quickly and thoroughly. The Merc Team did all of the set up and tear down for us, so we got to just show up and enjoy the entirety of our day. They gave us super helpful tools to plan on what needed to be done and when. They sent reminders throughout the process. We also took advantage of their assigned in-house DJ, which felt like a gamble at first, but they took the time to answer all of our questions and make us feel comfortable with the process. Finally, we loved that all of our vendors knew each other and were able to refer each other making us trust our team wholeheartedly. We had our dream wedding and would 100% recommend booking your wedding at the Mercantile Hall!

A magical and perfect day!

The Mercantile Hall was amazing to work through during my wedding planning process. I decided to pay extra for a coordinator package and would highly recommend. Destiney was so amazing to work with and helped answer all my questions through the planning process. On the day of she and the rest of the mercantile staff helped set up all the decor and truly made my vision come to life and create the most perfect and magical day. The wedding day went smoothly and everything came together perfectly and the Mercantile was the perfect place to have such an important day,

Amazing experience at Mercantile Hall!

Mercantile Hall is the perfect place to get married. It is unique, has so much character, and affordable compared to surrounding areas. The venue itself is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures online. But what really made our experience incredible was our Event Manager Destiny. I can’t tell you how easy she made the wedding planning process for us. My favorite part about working with Destiny was her extremely fast communication and organization. She responds to your questions quickly so you’re not sitting around waiting on answers. The planning process was straight forward, easy to follow, and clear. We are still getting compliments to this day about how beautiful our venue was. I would recommend Mercantile Hall to everyone! 10/10 experience.
