We got married in April 2023 and the Brickyard was a DREAM VENUE. We got endless compliments on our choice in venue, from the convenience of the location to the aesthetics of the s...pace. We fell in love with the history of the building, the brick walls and wood floors, and the variety of ways we could use the space for our unique vision. And all of that at one of the most affordable prices we could find!
STAFF - After working in the industry for the last few years, I knew the importance of great venue staff. We loved the Brickyard's flexible tour times, quick communication, and that we were able to come visit and plan multiple times. BY staff are all amazing and set great expectations for us. From our first tour with Kennedy and working with Casey for months leading up to our big day, to our rehearsal and day-of managers, they were the kindest, hardest working, and most accommodating group of people. They were with us every step of the way, answered every single one of our questions, and felt so personable. They helped our vision come to life, were so flexible, and involved us in every decision.
SPACE - We loved that we were able to get ready and have both our ceremony and reception in the same place - so convenient for us and our guests! All of the nearby public parking was so helpful, too. There are so many beautiful spots for photos inside the venue and around downtown Marion. The venue was so clean + pristine when we came in to setup, which I was so grateful for. Only downside I can even think of - no real candles. I was pretty bummed about this at first but honestly, I wasn't even thinking about it during the day-of and I don't think it really affected the vibe of our decor at all.
ALCOHOL - We were worried about choosing a venue that managed the alcohol because it tends to run way more expensive, but looking back that was the BEST PART. The prices were so affordable and so many different packages/options gave us the option to pick one that was right for us without having to worry about ordering alcohol, hiring bartenders, and managing consumption during our event. Huge huge huge weight off of our shoulders and such a win!
Overall, we are so glad we chose the Brickyard for our wedding day and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone else looking for their own venue!!
