We had a fantastic wedding reception at The Brick with Navarre Catering. We loved the event space at The Brick and we knew Navarre would be great with the food but what really made...

our wedding amazing was the venue coordinator, DeAsarae. She went above and beyond for everything! Anything we had a question on, she gave us an answer immediately and was very patient. She was our “yes girl” and she followed through with everything. Our wedding would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for DeAsarae. She made the whole planning process run so smoothly and effortlessly

We had our wedding reception at The Brick in March 2025 and it was PERFECT! The coordinator, DeA, was so lovely to work with as we planned our reception. She was super responsive...

to all of our questions, emails, and calls. During our reception she was there to make sure everything went smoothly. All of waiters, staff, bartenders, etc at The Brick were very professional as well. Also, the food at The Brick was amazing! We got a ton of compliments from our guests. The space is beautiful and we are so happy with how our reception turned out! We would highly recommend The Brick!

t. The gorgeous industrial design on the building’s interior and exterior made decorating a breeze and really reflects my personal style. Our friends and family traveled from all over the country and adored the space as well. I loved the flexibility of getting to pick our own vendors for our wedding, the affordability of the rental, and we used the in house speaker system to play Spotify and it worked very well! The Brick made our wedding dreams come true and 2 months later we are still day dreaming about how gorgeous it was!

The most gorgeous venue in all of South Bend. I give them four stars because of this. We were so happy with the natural elegance and cool features of the brick. The rustic nature o...

f the old factory with a modern bar and cool patio/deck area. A few things: Do not consider the Brick unless you either hire a wedding planner, or else have a large family with DIY skills. The Brick is BARE BONES. You rent and bring in and set up everything. They do offer table rental, but you have to set up. We ended up going over our initial budget due to not taking a lot into consideration-- for instance rentals and set up/tear down/delivery costs. Definitely something to consider. Also, They say they can hold 300... we had 200 at our wedding and it was the perfect size for a buffet, tables and a dance floor. We did not have extra space. I would say about 215 is the max your want to seat, especially if a dance floor is important to you or you plan on having a band. Our DJ set up shop in the upper mezzanine to save space. Their bar is pricey and you have to use it. Overall, it was totally worth it.

Gorgeous space. While the venue pricing just covers the space, that means you are free to decorate to fit your individual needs. If you need suggestions with vendors or simply had ...

questions, Keith was readily available to answer them. Just make sure you have either a wedding planner or people who are able to help you set up and tear down since that is not included.

rom the outset that they provide the space and run the bar but they are not involved in your planning and setup/cleanup... you will need to hire a wedding planner or recruit some trusted friends for your day-of setup. Keith and crew were very easy to work with and the bar was expertly run. Just about any question you have will be answered on their website, or you can stop by when the bar is open on Mondays or Tuesdays to check out the space and ask any lingering questions. Overall, we had a great experience.

ike working with them because they pretty much let the vendors come in and do their thing. The bartenders are extremely chill and were wonderful hosts, and the venue looked absolutely gorgeous with all of the Edison bulbs hanging from the ceiling - which actually looked wonderful in all of photos! I wasn't sure how the lighting would work when someone took a picture with an iPhone but it looked pretty awesome. I can't say enough great things about the bartenders and Keith!!
