BRICK Reviews

Our wedding at The Brick was everything we could have asked for and then some! From the start, Lindsay and her team made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. Lindsay’s “homework” documents were an incredible tool to organize all of our ideas and get on the same page about our vision for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. She broke everything down into actionable steps, making sure nothing was overlooked. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and her ability to work within our budget constraints while delivering the wedding of our dreams was nothing short of impressive.

The Brick is a blank canvas venue, which means you get to customize every detail—but it also means renting everything and outsourcing most of your vendors. Thankfully, they offer a bar service and a package for purchasing your own alcohol, which was a total game-changer for us. We loved working with their team to craft signature cocktails and budget our alcohol purchases. They helped us achieve a fun and generous open bar without breaking the bank. (Pro tip: We ended up overbuying alcohol, but it worked out perfectly as we used the extras as thank-you gifts and shared them with family the next day!)

The service on the day of was phenomenal. We were never without a cocktail in hand, and the team made sure we—and all our guests—were comfortable and cared for. They worked seamlessly with our wedding party liaison to ensure everything ran smoothly, so we could just focus on enjoying the day.

While The Brick doesn’t have a formal dressing area or green room, we used their office as “command central.” For two men and our FOUR outfit changes, it worked perfectly! For those with gowns, it might feel a bit snug since the space is shared with staff and their storage, but it’s definitely manageable.

One feature we didn’t expect to love as much as we did was their camera system, which monitors the inside and outside of the venue. It gave us a fun behind-the-scenes look at everything happening while we were hiding in the office before the ceremony. We loved watching our guests arrive and even got to monitor the dance floor hype level while taking quick breaks from the party!

From start to finish, The Brick’s team made us feel supported and valued. Their flexibility, vendor connections, and accommodating nature (including letting us visit the venue multiple times, even unannounced) made planning our wedding a dream. If I had one minor critique, it’s that they let us take the reins a bit more than we expected—sometimes I wished they’d stepped in to pull us back—but it’s clear they just wanted to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.
If you’re looking for a venue where you can truly make your wedding your own, with a team that cares about every detail, The Brick is it. Highly recommend!

My wife and I are from the Bay Area and celebrated our wedding at BRICK in November 2024. The first thing that caught our attention were the stunning photos on their Instagram. I instantly fell in love with the vibe of the venue—the intimacy, the dim lighting, and the sleek, modern design. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Our first meeting with Victoria over Zoom sealed the deal. She was warm, approachable, and easy to work with. She painted such a vivid picture of how our wedding could look that we booked the venue without even seeing it in person.

Then came Lindsay, the best wedding planner we could have asked for! She made the entire planning process stress-free, fun, and enjoyable. Lindsay was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly brought our vision to life. She created a mood board that perfectly captured our personalities and wedding goals. On the big day, she exceeded every expectation—she was everywhere, ensuring every detail was perfect and that we felt completely taken care of. Even our guests loved her energy and attentiveness.

Sabrina, the beverage manager, was also a joy to work with. She provided a detailed, straightforward contract and helped us estimate the perfect amount of alcohol to purchase. Her guidance was spot-on, and our guests raved about the bartenders. They were outgoing, fun, and clearly enjoyed being part of the celebration.

Overall, I can’t recommend BRICK enough. The experience was flawless, and our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. Zero complaints!

BRICK was the most perfect place to hold my wedding ceremony and reception. It was absolutely beautiful, reasonable pricing, and reliable/ hard working staff. We also hired Lindsay from the brick as a partial planner and coordinator and she CRUSHED IT. The best day of my life and I am so glad we chose to have it at Brick.

Our Experience was great! San Diego was a destination wedding and we decided to use Brick due to its great location and pricing. We hired their wedding planner Lyndsay and she did a great time planning, organizing, and coordinating everything for us. We couldn't have done it without her. The venue is in a great area, we comfortably fit 100 guests inside with a DJ and plenty of space to dance. Overall we had a great experience.

Lindsay and the BRICK team, with the help of our florist from Whimsy Blooms, transformed our charming brick venue into a stunning space that exceeded our expectations. Lindsay’s seamless handling of everything relieved our stress and allowed us to fully enjoy the day. BRICK and their team truly went above and beyond.

tl;dr: for folks who want to customize their special day/experience for themselves, and who want to work with the best professionals in the business, BRICK is the place for you!

For the folks who are looking at the positive reviews, trying to figure out whether they're legit or not--BRICK is the absolute BEST. My fianceé and I chose BRICK because of its flexibility in terms of hosting a large crowd (160+ people), its flexibility in terms of pretty much any preference we had, and a setup we thought would maximize the amount of fun we could have at our wedding (you could dance all night, no noise ordinance, multiple areas to hang out, etc., etc.). We got all of that in spades.

For the cost-minded: we chose this venue because we were frustrated by going to a bunch of wedding venues that charged a bunch for food and drinks, with a limited amount of flexibility in the layout, and would end up closing at ~10:00PM. We wanted somewhere that we could fill out the way we wanted it to look, while making sure that we didn't feel overcharged or undercut in any one aspect of the services we were paying for. We spent approximately ~40K in total on the venue, food, alcohol, photography, floral arrangements, furniture rentals, until just about midnight. Given that most other venues in the area cost around there for their base package, we were SUPER happy with this. Plus, we had the added benefit of seeing where every single dollar went.

The staff was nothing short of exceptional. We chose the "one month out" option for wedding planning, and were more than pleasantly surprised with that option. Lindsay was phenomenal. My fianceé and I were planning this wedding from the East Coast--Lindsay made our ideas and our vision come to life. She helped coordinate everything we could have asked for. She was at the dang church when we were getting married, helping coordinate! It was like having our own personalized special ops squad. The bartenders were fantastic--we had requested some specialized "His" & "Hers" drinks, and they went above and beyond on them. They're just wonderful people, whose good energy made the evening that much better.

The preferred vendors were also incredible--everything they did was exceptionally punctual, professional, and went without any hitch that anyone could have noticed. It's worth mentioning that BRICK's preferred vendors are folks they have longstanding relationships with, and as a result, the vendors know how to operate with one another, and in the venue, seamlessly. They also won't try to nickel-and-dime you; in fact, our florist Mike went so far as to last-minute help us out with beautiful arrangements for our bridesmaids when we realized we had mis-counted the number of bridesmaids that needed a bouquet! This is just one of the many examples of the vendors and staff at BRICK going above and beyond to help us out.

Just a wonderful, wonderful experience overall...can't recommend BRICK and the folks there enough!

Our wedding at the BRICK was the best day of our lives! We got married this past summer on July 11th and we worked with Lindsay their wedding planner for the year leading up to the wedding. Lindsay is highly organized and positive. We chose the BRICK's "part-time" wedding planning option which was perfect for us since we wanted to be involved in the planning while still receiving guidance from the expert. We chose lots of the BRICKS preferred vendors but also branched out and chose some that we found so that the day was still a reflection of us. We also loved that we were allowed to choose food trucks instead of catering companies because it saved us a lot of money. Thirdly, the BRICK is very much a blank canvas. The brick walls and natural light are stunning on their own and it doesn't take much to amplify the venue with whatever decor you decide on. Our candle light and wild flowers were the touch we decided on and it was absolutely stunning when it all came together. We would recommend the BRICK to anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue with kind staff and the amazing Lindsay to help make their vision a reality!

BRICK is an excellent blank canvas with plenty of open space to customize and decorate! They have a wonderful staff who were very helpful and informative throughout the entire process. We chose BRICK because we did not want to be constrained with our vendor choices, but we wanted to have plenty of options that BRICK and their staff were very willing to share.

BRICK's 24-hour rental was another selling point for us as we wanted the option to extend the hours of our reception (which we extended until 1am) and extra flexibility to pick up our items in the morning (which was nicely put together for us to grab and go).

We went with their partial planning services and got paired with Lindsay, who was incredible in managing our expectations and extremely valuable in the planning process. She was responsive to all our requests and was quick to provide feedback on what was possible. She was well-versed and experienced with all the BRICK vendors, which made communication feel very seamless.

The venue was everything that we wanted! We went for a modern tropical/boho aesthetic that was easy to apply with the interiors of BRICK. Lindsay connected us with a wide array of vendors that included (but not limited to): furniture, florals, signage, catering and desserts.

We had plenty of freedom with our layout. With 165ish guests, we were able to fit in a large dance area, a place to lounge, a bar, an ice cream cart, a photobooth and a fry bar. We still had plenty of space to fit in more if we really wanted to.

BRICK is BYOB, so you have full control of the type of alcohol and drinks you want to serve your guests. They provide garnishes and extra ingredients needed for the right cocktail, you just need to bring the alcohol. BRICK prohibits serving "shots" of alcohol, which was bittersweet for our heavy-drinking crowd. We avoided a lot unnecessary drinking which is what we wanted for our event.

BRICK only has 2 bathrooms, which did create some lengthy queues for our own liking. But Lindsay did give us a fair warning that might happen and even provided a vendor to rent out a portable restroom. Unfortunately it was out of our budget, so we dealt with the repercussions. BRICK is conveniently located in an area where there are public restrooms across the street as an alternative option.

Overall the process in booking with BRICK was very fulfilling and if we were to do it all over again, we absolutely would do it at BRICK.

The Brick was the best place we could have held our wedding. You can completely customize the venue to suit your needs/wants, and the staff ensures everything goes off without a hitch! Lindsay was the absolute best throughout the entire planning process. We felt completely taken care of, and had no worries day of!
The Brick truly wants you to have your best day, and they could not have done a better job. All our guests complimented the food, the DJ (both preferred vendors of Brick) and said we should throw a wedding every year because of how much fun it was.
One thing to add, we are not from the SD area, so planning from afar was an initial concern for us. Lindsay made it all run smoothly, helped keep us on schedule and even made adjustments to the day of schedule as needed to ensure the day was perfect for us! If we ever do a party for vow renewals in the coming decades, we will 100% be revisiting the Brick to do so.

If you’re looking for a blank canvas that you can design any way you wish, BRICK is for you! The entire team at BRICK is professional, communicative, organized, and a pleasure to work with. Our guests loved the venue location, the venue itself, and the bartenders. We honestly don’t think that we could have found a better venue for the price that we paid.

We definitely recommend paying to have Lindsay as your wedding planner because she made the entire process stress-free! We worked with Lindsay for about 1 year and she was the absolute best to work with! We were iffy on getting a wedding planner at first, but it ended up being the best investment we made. We planned everything through virtual means (Zoom, email) which means we didn’t have to physically be in San Diego, which is huge for us since we live 2 hours away! Lindsay is like the fairy godmother that magically makes all of your wishes come true! 10/10 would recommend :)

In planning our wedding we were blessed to have met and worked with Lindsay. From the get go, her communication was top notch in making sure she understood what we were looking for as a couple, and made sure to offer sound advice when asked. She took away so much stress regarding the planning and execution, we often would use the line "Lindsay has it taken care of" with our nosy family. We like to be detail-oriented and appreciated her fastidious approach. Ultimately our wedding day came and we could not have asked for more from her, she was wonderful and made it go off without (or with rather) a hitch. Thanks so much Lindsay!

Recently had my wedding at Brick and it was nothing less than the perfect day. My husband and I had the best day and our guests loved the venue. Work with Lindsay if you need help organizing everything and vendor contracts etc. it will literally make your experience so much better and less stressful. We also love Victoria!! She initially showed us the space and helped us make the decision on Brick vs other venues in the area. They have a great open bar option- make sure to go over all the rules and details because there were a couple things I might have made clear before the wedding as far as drinks (doubles, triples, etc.) I think Luke was one of our bartenders and he was great! Overall I’m going to say 10/10 you should book with Brick for your next event!

I cannot begin to say how beautiful and unique BRICK is and how amazing of an experience it was to have our wedding reception there. At first, bringing in all vendors seemed like a daunting task but Lindsay was able to keep us organized and on track throughout the whole process. She went out of her way many times to accommodate us and make sure we got exactly what we envisioned and we cannot thank her enough! All of the vendors that were suggested to us, including our catering company were incredible. We truly got to see how amazing the relationship between BRICK and their vendors were so everything was truly planned seamlessly. Highly recommend BRICK for any event!

I could talk about how amazing BRICK is all day long! We had such a fun and easy experience working with the staff from start to finish. Our coordinator, Lindsay, was an absolute dream to work with! She was so patient with all my back and forth decisions, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to deliver my vision on my wedding day. I was so nervous going into wedding planning, but the amount of stress I did not feel was so shocking to me. BRICK and their staff made wedding planning so easy. I cannot recommend them enough!

My wife and I can’t say enough positive things about our experience at Brick! We held our wedding reception there in September 2023 and were thrilled with all aspects of the day! The venue is beautiful and we loved that we were able to utilize the outdoor lawn area for our cocktail hour. Lindsay McClure was our planner and could not have been a better fit for all of our planning/organizing needs. She had fantastic recommendations for vendors, took care of so many stressful ins-and-outs, and executed it all perfectly on our big day! We were thrilled to find a venue that was so LGBTQ+ affirming as well! We would choose Brick all over again in a heartbeat and could not recommend it more highly!

Brick and our amazing wedding coordinator Lindsay made our dream wedding come true. The venue is a beautiful blank canvas that allows you to create the most unique wedding you could ever imagine! The entire Brick staff was so accommodating. Lindsay goes above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect down to every little detail. It was truly the best day of our lives and if we could do it again, we would choose Brick every single time to be our wedding venue!

We absolutely loved our experience at BRICK. A 24 hour venue, what is better than that?!? But the experience at BRICK just kept getting better and better. Friendly staff, great vendors, helpful and quick responses, great vision execution and wonderful day of set up and easy and quick next day clean up. With that all said our wedding was everything we could ask for and more. Even the plains overhead became a fun drinking game we kept going all weekend long and you didn't notice once the music got going. Our wonderful coordinator Lindsay was worth every penny and we know she was a big reason why everything went so smoothly. The whole staff at BRICK was extremely helpful and nice and we were introduced to most of our awesome vendors because we participated in a BRICK open house event, such a great option if you get the opportunity. I would definitely recommend hosting any kind of event at BRICK, especially your wedding!

So much to say about this amazing venue. My brother and my sister-in-law recently got married here in September and it was an absolute dream. Our family had an amazing time and all of the vendors were absolutely fabulous to work with. The entire BRICK staff including their bartenders were awesome and so sweet! Lindsay helped us with the planning and her assistants Bella and Cassidy were on top of everything and so easy to work with!

I planned my sister's wedding here and it was amazing! Lindsey and her assistants were awesome! They were not only helpful but were always quick to return all calls and emails quickly to answer all questions and concerns we had. It was nice that you can bring your own vendors and have a little fun with it. Everything came out beautiful!

I LOVED this venue. I looked at a few other venues in San Diego and BRICK was by far my favorite. The location was great, right next to a lot of great restaurants and shops. I was able to have all of my own vendors and food, which was very important to me! I also used Lindsay, their event coordinator who was awesome and helped the day run so smoothly.

My husband and I had our big wedding in June and when it came to finding a venue, it was a no brainer when we saw BRICK! We wanted something different that we can make our own, so knowing we were working with a blank canvas made our decision for us. Lindsay was extremely helpful and made the planning so smooth! As someone who gets easily anxious, I was calm and excited the entire time! Communication was easy and they were so quick to respond. Everyone who attended our wedding, from our wedding party to our guests, all loved the venue and Lindsay’s attention to detail with our vision!
Coordinating the layout, vendors, rehearsal, and set up were only possible because of the team. I highly recommend this venue for any couple no matter their vision!

We got married in May 2023 here and couldn't have made a better choice! From the first day on, Lindsay and her team were super attentive and helped us however they could. Everyone was so kind and friendly and we don't have any regrets at all. Especially having Lindsay and her team there on our wedding day was a huge help - they think of everything! Thank you!!!

My wife and I decided on BRICK when we went to San Diego at the beginning of last year and we had looked at BRICK and one other venue, but everything at BRICK stood out. We met with Victoria for a tour and she was very great at explaining everything. We picked the venue, my wife planned the whole thing, and towards the end we hired Lindsay who is the planning coordinator and BRICK and she did an amazing job taking over everything that my wife had planned. I sat in on some meetings and Lindsay was very attentive to my wife, responded promptly, and always answered any questions we had. When we walked into the venue it was everything my wife could have wanted and more. Lindsay did an amazing job, everything looked beautiful. Thank you Lindsay.

I also want to thank Sabrina who was the beverage manager, her bartenders were AWESOME and we got a lot of compliments on the drinks, the venue, and everyone's overall experience with everything.

This venue. The staff. The location.
Everything about this venue was bliss.
When we first went to San Diego we met with Victoria, extremely knowledgeable about the venue, the vendors, and every possible question we could’ve had. We had seen one other vendor after BRICK, but something about BRICK was special to me from the start. We ended up booking with BRICK for our wedding. We were looking for a coordinator and since we had already been in communication with Lindsay, she had to be the perfect choice so we went with her. From the moment we booked Lindsay to the final moment of closing out the venue she was pure perfection. She communicated, she was efficient, she got the job done, and not to mention has the sweetest heart and constantly made time to video chat me, call me, and email me. Sabrina & her bartenders were GOLD. The drinks were great, they were SO MUCH FUN and they did an absolutely amazing job. I have absolutely no regrets on this venue. From LA County to San Diego County, i’d do this again and i’d pick this venue over and over. Thank you to all of you at BRICK.
