I had my wedding at Brass 16823 on NYE this year 12/31/24. First off i would like to say it was the best day of my life. None of this would have been able to happen if it wasnt for Brass 16823. The industrial open canvas of a place allows you to paint your own picture no matter what the theme or event. It was perfect for a NYE theme. Words cannot express how amazing Jason is, the man who makes the magic happen. He is the most kind, patient, hard working, thoughtful, and creative, and professional guy i have ever worked with! Me and my husband were so surprised on how smooth our wedding went over and that's all because of him! From setting up, the event, and tearing down, he was there for it all. He supplied so many of the many things that made our ceremony and reception so fun and beautiful. He went completely out of his way to make sure my wedding was everything i wanted it to be. There wasnt anything i asked that he couldnt do. We had getting ready rooms, lounge areas, picture booths, a bus come to pick guests up, etc. My husband and I and many guests stayed until midnight for the countdown and Jason was still there after we all left cleaning up and organizing for me to come pick my stuff up the next day. He took time away from his family to make this all happen. I couldnt be more appreciative for all of this and i will forever be so grateful for him and his Venue. This place is not just made for weddings but so many more events!! It is the perfect place. Do yourself a favor, book this place, dont look back, and thank me later!!!!!!!!

We had our wedding ceremony at Brass 16823 on January 13th, 2024! We agreed to use the space knowing that it may not be fully completed by the date of our wedding. Despite the construction, our wedding looked absolutely beautiful and was all we dreamed of & more! Jason went above and beyond to meet our needs and to ensure that we had everything we possibly could, and he was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. Our favorite thing about the space is the large windows and the views. When you are in the space, all you can see is the natural elements outside and a stunning wall they have built. Despite the road, parking lot, and several other businesses so close by, you really feel like you are in your own little world once you are inside the building. We also loved how versatile the space was. We were able to pick our own chairs, decor, set-up style, etc. This allowed us to have a wedding that felt true to us, and adjust things based on our budget and priorities. Lastly, we love the industrial aesthetic, and they are doing an amazing job of also creating chicness in the space. Trying to find a venue space in the area that was not barn-style or a hotel was extremely difficult, and this space is truly one-of-a-kind. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding venue in Centre County to use Brass 16823!
