About

The BRIX on the Fox is an industrial, rustic-style wedding venue in Carpentersville, Illinois. This historic building, built in the late 1800s, was restored in 2018 and provides couples with a blank canvas to plan, decorate, and bring their wedding dreams to life. The BRIX offers something for everyone: an open floor plan that can be completely customized, a rustic, semi-industrial outer shell that can suit any wedding theme, and all-in-one venue packages that make your budget planning so much simpler. When you choose The BRIX, you get to put your style and visions right into the venue. Your Life. Your Style!

Facilities and Capacity

The BRIX on the Fox represents two venues. The Two-Sixty provides ample room for up to 320 guests, and the Industria for up to 200 guests. Both venues overlook the graceful Fox River. The Two-Sixty and The Industria are separate event venues. Each venue is divided into your main reception and bar area, prep kitchen, bridal suite, restrooms, and coat check. Its 19th-century restored architecture provides a beautiful backdrop for any style of wedding decor, and its completely open floor plan allows you to create your own layout, seating arrangements, and space that tailors to your wedding precisely. Some let the brick walls and custom reclaimed barnwood tables speak for themselves, while others choose more elaborate approaches. The decor and layout style is up to you.

Services Offered

The BRIX is available for 12 hours. We provide a one-price approach, with price depending on the day of the week. Our approach allows you to choose your own caterer and bar service, as well as any other vendor you wish to include. We don’t require you to select from a preferred vendor list, encouraging you to make your wedding your own without all the red tape and add-on venue services. The all-inclusive BRIX package includes:

  • Exclusive use on the day of your wedding.
  • Custom wood tables and Tolix chairs.
  • Ceremony area and curtain system for the ceremony.
  • Large bar with BYO alcohol - it will cost you about $20 per person and takes only two phone calls.
  • Bridal suite with private bathroom
  • World-class sound system - your DJ just plugs in and is ready to go!
  • Downlights and DJ lights
  • Photo booth!

The brix 260

Two of our daughters weddings in 16 weeks…our most recent event was at the BRIX on Nov 7th!

Outstanding  experience with the BRIX!
Ample parking, no downtown traffic jams…Rob and Team cover every detail!

Open vendor options, I had no issues with any vendors and highly recommend: 11th hour bartending, drapery by SNP and mortar design for China rental. Service was provided by Twin2Me me and catering by Francesca’s in Barrington.

A wedding for 220, never felt crowded; we reserved the evening prior, which assisted with DIY decor and rehearsal. A huge plus!

The entire team at the BRIX was amazing, professional, pleasant to work with.  
So many compliments on the venue! 

The ceremony space was converted from ceremony to appetizer hour in minutes. The Photo Booth was tons of fun, guests loved! The sound system amazing and after dinner lighting a lovely touch!
A nice inclusion is an ice machine!

Rob, my only suggestion would be the purchase of a food warmer in the chef prep kitchen space:)

Sincerely,
Mother of the Bride

The BRIX Wedding Venue

The BRIX was a great venue to personalize our wedding day. We got to choose each vendor and their staff helped tie everything together and keep us on track planning for the big day. Thank you all!

Just book it.

My (now) husband and i, along with our 220 guests could NOT speak more highly of the BRIX. From the moment we walked in for our tour, we KNEW this was our venue. The staff was so warm and welcoming and they truly made it feel like i was dealing with a family member. Fast responses, multiple on multiple guides for you, lists of preferred vendors, the list goes ON.

I will admit, for a moment in time i became nervous about finances and that most everything with the BRIX is “a la carte” so to speak, but hearing other people who are planning a wedding talk about how they love the venue, but hate the food, or have limitations on their bar, etc, let me know i made the absolute right decision. I would get married at the BRIX again in a heartbeat and have received SO MANY compliments on how upscale and gorgeous the venue was. I was in awe when i walked in the two-sixty when it wasn’t even decorated and our guests were absolutely taken back when the reception curtain opened.

Stop reading and set up your tour now, pick your date, BOOK IT. You do not want to let this venue slip between your fingers!

Amazing Day!

The Brix on the Fox was amazing! My husband and I got married at the Two-Sixty venue in October and we received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and comfortable it was. We especially loved how accommodating the team was throughout the planning process, providing recommendations but still having the flexibility of choosing our own vendors. The team was readily available to answer any questions we had via email and webchat. Day of- Ji Hee was onsite helping us. She went above and beyond working to make sure it was as seamless as possible and sending photos afterwards of special moments to me from the day. Highly recommend The Brix!

The Brix is a must!

The Brix made all of our wedding dreams come true! The venue space is beautiful and their curtain system for transforming the room between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception is flawless. They also make sure that all of your timing for your ceremony entrances is perfect. They are seasoned pros at this! The Brix also has a built in sound system and lighting that is amazing. They also have a photo booth included!

Prior to our event, they were extremely fast with replies and did not make any question feel like one too many. They welcome you to come back and see the space as often as you would like during the planning process.

I didn't know how it would be with having two weddings at the same time (ours in the Two-Sixty and another one in the Industria), but you truly didn't even know another one was going on! Parking was not an issue and sound did not carry. Our wedding at the Brix was a dream and I would pick them over and over again!

Beautiful Venue!

We are so thrilled with our experience at the Brix! The whole Brix team is so knowledgeable about the wedding industry and planning process. Most of our vendors were recommended by the Brix and we are so glad we went with all of them! We were nervous about not having a wedding planner or day or coordinator but the Brix staff made the entire day go so smoothly! The venue is also so beautiful by itself and doesn’t require a ton of extra decor which made setup/cleanup super easy! We 10/10 recommend!

The perfect wedding venue

Cannot say enough great things about having our wedding at The BRIX this summer! From the time of our first visit, Rob, Tone, and the entire team were helpful and responsive. We were planning this wedding from across the country, and they could not have made the process any easier. Any time we had a question, they were quick to respond with their expertise. We didn't have many questions, though, as we stuck to their recommended vendor lists which is full of the best of the best. The entire building is stunning- you truly don't need much to make your wedding look perfect! To top it off, we had a large sentimental item accidently left at the venue the night of the wedding, and Rob went above and beyond to get it back to us all the way in Texas. Thank you to The BRIX for helping us have our PERFECT wedding!

Book the Brix!

I honestly cannot recommend the Brix enough. The venue is absolutely gorgeous which you can see upon your first visit, but the Brix stands out beyond the beauty. The entire team is communicative and provides excellent advice as you plan for the big day. As for day of coordination, I was blown away at the assistance they provided at every turn. They made sure we knew who to turn to with questions prior to the wedding started. They jumped in at every turn to make sure any hiccups were avoided and we could enjoy the entire wedding day. Seriously, book with the Brix, you won’t regret it!

The best venue!!!

The Brix on the Fox is an amazing venue. First and foremost it’s a family run business. Rob, Tone & Robbie will help ensure anything the venue can provide is taken care of. A real carte blanche, you’re able to dress up the venue as you see fit. Plenty of large wood tables will help you comfortably fit 200+ for dinner. They have a great set up to change over the room and a built in audio system for the DJ of your choice. The venue also has photo-booth and after your wedding you’ll get a drive folder with digital copies of every picture taken that night. We had an absolute blast! We highly recommend The Brix on the Fox!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
