The Rustbelt Market was the perfect venue for both our ceremony and reception. It was a pleasure working with Christina. She was always responsive and very helpful in answering any questions that we had. Overall, the experience was a breeze and relatively stress free.

An upside of this venue: the gathering space, for the most part, is already decorated! The couch cove is a unique place to take pictures. You can get away with minimal DIY decorations (save money).
Additionally, they have an in-house bar (with a cocktail hour offering) and an table and chair rental. Instead of having to search for separate vendors to come in, these services are offered by the venue itself.
We would highly recommend this space to anyone looking to have a memorable day.

Awesome venue!
We hosted our annual company holiday party at The Rust Belt and we were very pleased. The space itself is gorgeous on it's own and Christina was awesome and very easy to work with. We got so many compliments on how unique and comfortable the space was. Thanks again Christina!

Venue Perfection
My experience with The Rust Belt Market was perfect. This venue is unique, beautiful & so easy to work with. The service was great, and I highly recommend using Holiday Market - who is one of their preferred catering vendors. If you are looking for a setting out of the ordinary, this is the place for you.
