Mercantile Magic!

We could not recommend Mercantile Hall enough!! This venue is our favorite place. We toured the venue before we were even engaged, knowing the craziness of the wedding industry right now, and we fell in love the moment we walked through the doors. Every staff member we met was welcoming and warm, clearly loving the work they do. We booked immediately, and our wedding planning journey would not have been as smooth as it was without their help. We also had the upstairs Bridal Suite, which was the perfect getting ready place for me and my girls. We went with the middle level coordinator package, and I would absolutely recommend this as well. We worked with Stephanie, and she ensured every detail was curated to perfection. She knew our entire bridal party and parents (20 people) by name, made sure there was never an empty glass amongst us all, kept my husband and I fed and clear from any hiccups, and made us feel like the most special people with her love and attention. On our wedding day, the entire staff gave this same energy. They were warm and kind to our guests, and had the perfect mix of blending into the background while also enjoying themselves and the party. Our day was PERFECT, and it would not have been possible without Mercantile and their staff. We love you, Merc!

We went with Merc Sound because we trusted the Mercantile Hall staff, and we were SO happy with this decision!! We met with DJ Terry first, who spent time getting to know us as a couple, our vision for the day, and the soundtrack to all our important moments. We filled out a detailed workbook, and then he matched us with one of their DJs who fit our vision best. We were matched with DJ Levi, who was super upbeat and really understood our vision of the day. We knew we were in good hands! On the morning of our wedding, we got the news that DJ Levi had a family emergency, but DJ Gray (Nathan) would be stepping in. The DJs had met and spent time going over everything to make our day happen, and the transition couldn’t have been smoother. Nathan checked in with us often to make sure everything was right and key details were being hit. When the dance floor opened, he had a perfect blend of our wants and his creative and professional input. As the bride, he really let me run the show, and we came up with hand signals I could give him from the dance floor so he knew if I wanted a song skipped, to move on, or keep it going longer than the minute thirty timestamp rule we had given. Our dance floor was full all night, and we have Merc Sound to thank for that!

Exactly what I wanted!!

Mercantile Hall had the best service and we had an amazing experience overall. We purchased the bundle for the additional bridal suite due to the size of our wedding party and it was a gorgeous space and absolutely perfect. Our wedding planner Jess was so responsive, kind, and helpful with everything we needed. She brought our vision to life and it was everything we wanted!

Loved the venue and the Merc Team!

We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/24/2024! We can’t recommend them enough! They made our wedding day the best day ever!

The Merc Team has been so supportive from the beginning to the end! We had some hard times getting back to wedding planning after my husband’s mother passed earlier in the year and the Merc Team was right there supporting us with whatever we needed. They helped us create a beautiful memorial for her on the wedding day. ❤️

I cannot recommend their coordinator packages enough! The coordinator packages are worth every penny, and Stephanie, who stepped in as our coordinator within the last month or so, was a true dream to work with! She answered all of the questions I had and made my wedding vision come true. The in person meetings we had were always filled with laughter and definitely put my mind at ease through the planning process. It was nice to be able to discuss my vision and have their input on things. Stephanie did so much for us not just during the planning process but also the day of. She helped come up with a way to hang one of our pictures that was heavier than expected, made beautiful arrangements with extra items we had and even became a spontaneous seamstress when I needed her most!

My bridesmaids and I loved the getting ready suite upstairs! It is a beautiful space, especially to take pictures and has tons of natural lighting! It was also very convenient to get ready there and have a big space to put all of our belongings and hang our dresses. Mercantile also has other add ons and in-house services that just make the day even more magnificent! We had the fire pit and s’mores and the hot chocolate! It was all so wonderful and made the day even better!

The day of team was also a wonder to work with! I went down the morning of to thank them all for helping on the day and they were all so kind calling me a beautiful bride and congratulating us on our joyous day! They really helped make our vision a dream come true! We also used Merc Sound for our DJ, and Preston (DJ Alto) delivered a fun experience for all!

In general, Mercantile Hall is a beautiful venue that we keep getting compliments on. It’s spacious but also gives an intimate vibe as well. The Merc Team made us feel like family and we are so happy we went with this venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
