The BRIX on the Fox is a industrial / rustic-style wedding venue in Carpentersville, Illinois. This historic building, built in the late 1800s, was restored in 2018, and provides couples a blank canvas to plan, decorate, and bring their wedding dreams to life. The BRIX provides 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 flagship Two-Sixty, provides ample room for up to 320 guests and the recently introduced Industria, for up to 200 guests. Both venues overlook the graceful Fox River. Both 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.

The Brix on the Fox was the perfect wedding venue for our wedding. I came across The Brix on The Knot in September 2019 when the venue was just about to open. Finding a warehouse venue with enough space to house a 300+ wedding in one room is nearly impossible outside of the city of Chicago. I fell in love with the pictures and the huge open space and knew I wanted to have our wedding there. We scheduled an appointment with Rob and Tone and had a walk through of the venue while the bar was being completed. Even with all the construction we felt completely at ease with how the final product would look through talking with Rob and Tone. They are very knowledgeable and have a real passion for the venue and type of experience they want their couples to have - Your Life Your Style. No truer words could be spoken! We had the luxury of bringing in our own caterer, design team, florist, bartender, you name it! Typically venues have a strict list of preferred vendors that restricts your choices and limits your ability to reduce costs. Not the case at the Brix. Leading up to the wedding we heard from Rob, Tone and their son almost weekly to make sure we were on track with vendors and timeline. They provided us with an easy to use questionnaire that gave them our timeline, vendor information and any other pertinent information. On the day of the wedding Rob and Tone went above and beyond. They both were there when our cocktail hour began and stayed until we had cleared out at the end of the night. Rob helped to unlock our envelope box that had filled up quicker than expected, they cleaned up wine that spilled on the dance floor, handled questions from vendors, and helped us clear out at the end of the night. They made our wedding reception go smoothly so that me and my husband could enjoy our night. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was. Choosing to have our wedding reception at the Brix was the best decision we made. It is a gorgeous venue with truly wonderful owners who made our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Best. Venue. Ever.
I first found The Brix on instagram a few months before I even got engaged; it was just being built and only had a few images to show the beauty of it. Fast forward a few months later and the only venue I wanted to look at or even looked at was The Brix - I brought both of our families and everyone fell in love with it - we put the hold on it that next day!
The owners, Rob and Tone, have become friends more than a wedding vendor, and blew our expectations out of the water. They have a venue that can be morphed into any brides dream and looks like a different venue depending on the wedding aesthetic. We ended up using a vendor they suggested from almost every category and we're not once disappointed with our choice. They were professional every step of the way but also treated your wedding as their own; they made sure every element of your day was perfect and that you had a good time.
The Brix is perfect for ANY event you hold and you will not be disappointed if you choose this venue for your big day. They are THE BEST in the Midwest.

The most beautiful venue with the most amazing owners!
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I can’t describe how INCREDIBLE the Brix family is. We live out of town, so they were always extremely accommodating when we wanted to come to stop in to see the venue! They also have been very responsive to any and every question we had and always gave us their honest opinion. When our wedding was up in the air due to covid, they were so accommodating and informed us every step of the way. We booked The Brix almost 3 years ago now and are on our 3rd wedding date due to covid, but The Brix family has consistently stayed patient and informative throughout the entire process. Rob, Tone, and Robbie have each taken time to speak with me any time I have questions or even just planned out loud with me when I was anxious about postponing again -- they truly are the most incredible family to work with and they make sure your wedding is exactly how you imagine it to be -- I can not recommend this incredibly beautiful venue enough!
