Mercantile Hall is such a beautiful wedding venue and we loved getting married there! We were able to get married outside but they were so flexible about the changing weather which really helped my anxiety that day. Our coordinator, Racheal, wa...
s the best I could imagine and she made the whole day so smooth and was always a step ahead in dealing with all of our other vendors. Mercantile has so many unique features and all our guests were commenting how beautiful everything was. I am so happy we were able to have our wedding there!

Hi Becky,
Thanks so much for your kind words! The staff loved celebrating with you, and we're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your special day at Mercantile Hall. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
From the moment we set foot in Mercantile Hall, we knew it was the place we were meant to be married. The team was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our endless questions and requests. They work well as a team to cover each...
other to ensure all of our questions were answers and our needs were met. We got married in October at Mercantile hall and had our ceremony outside. The venue was the perfect size and aesthetic for our 150 guest wedding and the day went perfectly. The Mercantile Team has weddings down to a science! Once we gave a set up plan to the team, they were incredibly efficient in getting it done without needing my guidance and they utilized their knowledge and skill to set up in the most aesthetic and efficient way possible. We did not have to take down our decorations after the wedding and everything was packed neatly and efficiently for us to pick up the following morning. Our wedding coordinator Amy, went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect and she felt like family by the time the day came. She collaborated with all of our vendors to take a lot of the work off of our plates and was incredibly knowledgeable in all the processes involved in planning a wedding. The experience was absolutely perfect and there wasn't a single moment I felt stressed. Mercantile was worth every penny, and we also fell in love wit Downtown Burlington and visit frequently! The only thing I feel like I missed out on is the bridal sweet that just opened upstairs! I would have loved to utilize that extra perk and think its such a great idea that they created it! Mercantile Was the best venue we could have asked for and we felt like family through the whole process of planning our wedding!

We just loved this venue and everyone who helped us out with our big day! Our wedding coordinator, Destiny, was fantastic! She made sure we got to have our ceremony outdoors (which was huge for us), always made sure we had fresh drinks, and mad...

Hi Alexander,
Thank you so much! We're happy to hear you enjoyed celebrating with us!
Mercantile Hall was everything and more that we wanted for our wedding! Ended up having to have our ceremony moved inside at the last minute but the staff at Mercantile made it special. We worked with Lindsey to help bring our day all together ...
and she had it run so smoothly. Such a beautiful space and so easy to work with. Should 100% consider Mercantile Hall to be your wedding venue!!

Hi Breann,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad that we got to celebrate your big day with you!
I knew this was our venue after we had our tour! It was the perfect place for us to get married. I worked with Stephanie, and she is so amazing! She makes you feel so cared for and every detail is taken care of. She was so easy to work with. We...

Hi Colleen,
Thanks so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you loved everything about Mercantile Hall!
We are so happy that we picked Mercantile Hall for our wedding venue! We started wedding planning right when the pandemic started and did a tour of the space via zoom and LOVED it! Even over the computer screen we could tell how special this sp...
ace was. The day of the wedding our coordinator Stephanie made sure everything ran as smooth as possible. We also loved that they had a bar package and an in-house DJ (Merc Sound) which made planning so much easier. It was a one-stop shop for all our wedding needs! We had our ceremony outside in the urb garden and used Susanna for cocktail hour, which our guests loved. It was the perfect space to celebrate our love and would recommend this venue to anyone getting married!
We loved working with Mercantile Hall while planning our wedding! From the second we stepped foot in the venue, the staff made us feel SO special and important. They asked us what we wanted, how we envisioned our wedding day, and provided us wi...
th time to get a feel for the environment while touring.
All the logistics were spelled out, crystal clear. There were no hidden fees or extra costs. Communication was via email with reminders as to when payments were due. Merc has an online account that is used to help organize all payments, layout of the venue, guest lists, etc. which I LOVED, as a type A bride! Throughout our year of planning, I knew no matter what I could call Nicole, our coordinator, and she would happily answer my questions.
On our big day, Nicole was there to help with everything. It made us both feel so confident knowing the coordinator we planned our day with would also be there on our wedding day. She helped with the decorations, the schedule, and extra details going above and beyond!
Mercantile Hall made our wedding day so magical. From the first consultation to the last song on our wedding night - the mercantile hall team made us feel so special, almost like family! They made planning a wedding so fun and easy!
I can't say enough about Mercantile Hall! We got engaged in August of 2019 and picked our date of August 2021. Throughout all of the craziness of COVID, when I'm sure that they had a million other issues/things to think about, Mercantile kept i...
n contact with us and ensured that we felt comfortable with any questions that we had. From the beginning, Stephanie and her team were the obvious choice for us - their energy, their support, and the overall style of the venue were a no brainer for us. I am so glad we made that choice. Our guests were so impressed by the intimate feeling of the space, the romantic vibe of the reception, and the service that Stephanie provided as our coordinator (we did opt in for the coordinator package - so worth it in my opinion!). Stephanie seamlessly corralled our large wedding party, rolled with the punches on the day of, and made the day essentially stress-free. The whole experience made me want to get married again and again! :)
Mercantile Hall is a beautiful venue that perfectly fit our style of modern and industrial. The staff is wonderful to work with, and remained flexible even through our COVID postponement. We had both our ceremony and reception here, and are ver...
y glad we made the decision of Mercantile Hall as our venue, and highly recommend it to others!
We truly cannot say enough positive things! Mercantile Hall is such an incredible venue. They have stunning outdoor and indoor options for weddings, and have the most accommodating and professional staff members. Stephanie made our dreams co...
me true and eased any questions we had before and during our wedding day. We continue to get compliments from our guests how responsive the staff was throughout our event and how beautiful the venue is. We would undoubtedly recommend Merc to any prospective couples. It’s so good that we truly hope to host a milestone anniversary there in the future!
Mercantile was the most beautiful venue I have ever seen! When we stepped foot in the hall I knew I had to have my wedding there. Stephanie was so great to work with, she was so helpful and really pulled everything together for us the day of th...
e wedding. She made the day feel seamless and easy. This small town, industrial chic venue was everything I could wanted and the vibe of Mercantile is unmatchable.
We made the decision to alter our wedding plans after postponing our wedding date twice already. I stumbled on Mercantile Hall online and they had the date we needed available. It was very serendipitous as the look & feel of the venue was what ...
I always dreamed: light & airy, exposed brick, industrial lighting, outdoor space. The staff was super accommodating, especially the day of. They made everything go so smoothly. I truly never felt like there were any problems or hiccups throughout the entire day and night. I would recommend this venue to any bride looking for an elegant loft style venue in the middle of a charming small town!
Getting married at Mercantile Hall was an absolute dream come true. The second I stepped through Mercantile Hall's doors (and met our coordinator Stephanie) I knew I was right at home! The venue was absolutely stunning, and Stephanie was the sw...
eetest, most calming coordinator a bride could ask for! In just 3 months, Stephanie helped us plan our entire wedding from start to finish; we could not have pulled it off without her!
On wedding day, we moved our ceremony inside due to weather, and yet again, Stephanie and the Mercantile Team handled the transition effortlessly. Our indoor ceremony was so personal and intimate; our guests couldn't believe that wasn't the plan all along! The entire night went better than we could have ever imagined. I cannot thank Mercantile Hall enough for giving us the most perfect wedding day!
We moved our venue from West Loop Chicago to Burlington. This venue knocked it out of the park. The small town feel made the location feel way more intimate. You could walk with your formal clothes on to the venue. It was that close. The cute c...
offee houses and bakery's were walking distance also. We used the park behind the hotel on the river for a farewell party the day after. That was walking distance also. The staff at the venue was incredible. They helped us replan our wedding so quickly. Meghan went above and beyond to help us. Andrew the owner also did. It was the best decision ever to move it out of Chicago. We would have had to pay $65 overnight parking. Also a lodging and a city tax. You need to figure all that in. It adds about $100 a night more to your room tax. The mock tail drinks were actually pretty. The Urb garden was so cute with the camper bar. I could go on and on.
Even through all the craziness of COVID, Mercantile Hall helped us pull off the most perfect reception. We worked with Meghan and she went above and beyond. She was so so helpful and always so positive. I literally cannot say enough positive th...
ings about Merc. The venue is incredible and the staff is fantastic. All of our guests raved about how neat of a place it is. Such a great experience. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Amazing!!!! We had to change our venue at the last minute and Mercantile Hall came through!!! Everything was beautiful! Meghan was amazing to work with and took care of every detail. They treated us like family. I can't say enough about how gr...
eat they are to work with and what a beautiful venue it is. Highly, highly recommend!!!
I was fortunate enough to get married at Mercantile this past January and in was an absolute dream come true! I fell in love when I saw it online and knew it was going to be my venue. When I saw it in person it took my breath away, it’s gorgeou...
s with such a warm and inviting feeling. The city of Burlington is such a cute town and will forever hold a place in my heart. Meghan was my saving grace so many times throughout the planning process, she was always so reassuring when responding to my multiple, overlapping emails. She’s also so fun to be around and hilarious to boot! Everyone at Mercantile is amazing, they will go above and beyond to make your day everything you’ve ever wanted, including shoveling The Urb Garden hours before the ceremony. I love this place so much I only wish I could get married every weekend, I would not have changed a thing!
I can't say enough good things about Mercantile Hall. All of the people we worked with made us feel like family. Megan and Stephanie and the rest of the staff made our day absolutely perfect, it was literally everything we dreamed of! The venue...
is so beautiful and we received SO many compliments on how wonderful the night was! We are SO happy we chose Mercantile Hall for our wedding.
What can I say about the Mercantile Hall, except that is it the most gorgeous venue with an amazing staff. My (now) husband and I had a short engagement, 7 months, and we were so excited that the Mercantile was available. As soon we walked into...
the venue, we looked at each other and knew that this was the place that we wanted to get married. The Urb garden was not even built yet, but as Stephanie described what it would look like upon completion, we knew that it was going to be spectacular and it was! Stephanie Heft was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! She worked so closely with us to ensure that the vision of our wedding came to life. You always have an idea of what your wedding day will look like, and my wedding at the Mercantile was even better than what that picture looked like! I cannot tell you how many compliments that we have received about how beautiful our wedding was as well as the space.
Just had my wedding here last weekend and 10/10 would recommend! The place is so unique and pretty. It gives off a warm, welcoming vibe. It rained on the wedding day so we didn’t get to have our ceremony outside in the new Urb Garden they built...
, but the ceremony was just as intimate and gorgeous inside the venue. The new urb garden is really pretty and they have a little mobile bar out there that is adorable. Working with the coordinators Stephanie and Meghan made planning less stressful. They helped me the day of my wedding so smooth. Everything was executed perfectly and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue, better day, better team.
The staff were amazing and the venue is just stunning. They provided us with a wedding planner who made the day go smoothly and absolutely took our breath away!
I had my wedding here is April! And omg was is not beautiful! The team at the mercantile is so accommodating and makes your day go absolutely perfect! They felt like family! The venue itself is amazing! So many unique touches that you don’t rea...
lly have to do a ton decor wise if you don’t want to! I highly recommend them!
Picking this venue for our wedding was absolutely the best. Stephanie and Wendy were exceptionally easy to work with and worked their butts off - they are worth every penny. The exposed brick and amazing chandeliers lead to GREAT pictures. Our...
wedding wouldn't have been quite as special if we did not have it at Mercantile Hall.
I can't say enough about the Mercantile Hall, mainly because of Stephanie and the rest of the staff. The hall itself is unspeakably beautiful--it's enough of a blank canvas to do what you want, but it's so pretty on it's own that you could get ...
away with really light decor. From our first tour all the way through the wedding day, Stephanie and the staff walked us through each step of planning and provided so much useful information and guidance. When we had a crazy April blizzard the day of the wedding, Stephanie gave us an extra day to come back and pick up our stuff rather than have anyone drive in the weather. Our friends and family still cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and I am so glad we chose the Mercantile Hall for our Wedding.
Mercantile Hall & their staff are amazing!! Stephanie was so wonderful and patient in helping us plan our day, and it couldn't have gone any better. Merc Hall is such a fun location + they add in extra touches like a gallery wall where you can ...
hang your engagement photos, a handwritten menu, cool signs by the bar, and fun lighting! Our guests raved about the space and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out!
Mercantile Hall was absolutely amazing! All of the staff was unbelievably helpful, especially Stephanie. If you have an idea or a vision they will help you make it happen. The venue is absolutely beautiful and you can set up the layout however ...
you'd like. It is a new and exciting venue that is different than the standard wedding venue.
Our experience at Mercantile Hall was wonderful! We came to them with a mission to have our wedding in a little over two months and they didn’t bat an eye. We worked with Stephanie, Mercantile’s Events Director, to prepare for the wedding and s...
he served as our onsite coordinator the day of as well. She was personable, professional and friendly every step of the way. We were able to relax and know that everything would be perfect! Not to mention, the venue is a gorgeous, modern gem.
My husband and I were the 2nd wedding at Mercantile Hall. Wendy, Stephanie, Rachel and Laurel were amazing!! We couldn’t have asked for our wedding to go better!! From the moment we met Wendy and Stephanie in empty building to the wedding day w...

My wedding (Oct 2017) was absolutely perfect because of the beautiful venue at Mercantile Hall, and the absolutely outstanding and thoughtful customer service from Stephanie and the rest of the staff. We received so many compliments on how stu...
nning the venue is. I am so proud and happy to be one of the first brides that booked at Mercantile Hall. Highly recommended!
The venue is so gorgeous, even before bringing in any extra decorations! They also had a lot of cute extra touches such as the option for a slideshow or photos projected and framed photos along the hallway walls as the guests enter, which made ...
it really unique. Stephanie was an awesome resource when it came to planning our wedding, and everyone there was so helpful! We got so many compliments on our venue, I couldn't ask for a better spot.
My husband Jordan and I were married here in July of this year after our previous venue pulled out on us just 4 months from our wedding day. When we first went to look at Mercantile, they were in the middle of construction, which made us a bit ...
hesitant but they made sure that we were updated as progress was made and helped to ease any worries and concerns we had right away. The staff was so great as we worked through our engagement period and planned our wedding and accommodated us in so many different ways. When the place was done it was even more beautiful than we had expected! They did such a great job at making it come to life and putting it all together. After they were finished up with construction they were always doing fun events and having different giveaways to participate in. The staff was such a pleasure to work with, especially their coordinator Stephanie was extremely helpful in our planning, and made us feel so well taken care of. They had great pricing over all, although we had some very minor expenses we didn't realize we were being charged for i.e. extra tables, and table cloths. However overall everything was very reasonable and they worked with us so much. We would absolutely recommend the mercantile hall as they really made our wedding day everything we had planned for and so much more!
Mercantile Hall- you are a dream come true! I am so thankful that we took a chance in choosing Mercantile Hall as our wedding reception venue, although the space was still under construction. (We were only the 3rd wedding in the space!) We love...
& cherish the history of the building and what the owners are doing for the city of Burlington. In a nutshell, Mercantile Hall exceeded our vision for the space. Stephanie, the event planner, was amazing to work with! She was extremely responsive and supportive in the planning process. Her team blew us away on the wedding day- they were SO professional, kind, and thoughtful! They really kept everything together :) I don't know what we would have done without them. Here is a perfect example, we planned to have a popcorn bar and brought all the decorations in the night before. Believe it or not, I (bride) forgot to pick up the gourmet popcorn we ordered! When Stephanie realized that, her team went out (8 pm) and got popcorn for us!! They will go above and beyond for you! Finally, our guests had an amazing time! Everyone was extremely complimentary of the space & no one wanted to leave at the end of the night! Merc Hall, thank you SO MUCH for making our wedding such a spectacular day! I have no doubt that your venue will become a highly sought-after location.
