BRIX on the Fox is the perfect venue! It has a great, modern-industrial feel, which fit the aesthetic we were looking for. We loved being able to source our own vendors. The BRIX team provides you with all the resources and support you need to help make your one-of-a-kind vision come to life! The venue’s event staff made sure that all our needs were met (both before and during the wedding) to ensure a smooth and stress free wedding we will never forget!

Beautiful venue owned by a wonderful family. We knew the minute we did our walkthrough of The Industria that this was our perfect place. The staff communicated with us throughout the entire planning process and made us feel very comfortable that we were in great hands. The beautiful views of the river didn't hurt either!

Everyone at The Brix made our day (and all of the planning leading up to our day) so easy. They were available to answer questions via phone or email. They provided feedback and suggestions when needed on all things - from additional vendors to table layouts. The venue itself is beautiful and so versatile, allowing couples to make it their own. Would recommend The Brix and their staff a million times over!

The Brix on the Fox was amazing! My husband and I got married at the Two-Sixty venue in October and we received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and comfortable it was. We especially loved how accommodating the team was throughout the planning process, providing recommendations but still having the flexibility of choosing our own vendors. The team was readily available to answer any questions we had via email and webchat. Day of- Ji Hee was onsite helping us. She went above and beyond working to make sure it was as seamless as possible and sending photos afterwards of special moments to me from the day. Highly recommend The Brix!

June 15, 2024 was our wedding at The Brix, this is such an amazing venue. They make everything so easy. Arranging all your own vendors can be overwhelming, but they provide you a list of recommendations that just made everything so simple. I believe because of them I really did have the wedding of my dreams and would have not have change a single thing. Highly highly highlyyyyy recommend booking your wedding at The Brix!

My husband & I had our wedding here a few weeks ago and it was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day. The Brix was my dream venue and it exceeded all of my expectations. It is truly so so beautiful, pictures don't do it justice. The entire staff is SO friendly, helpful and always super responsive the entire planning process. They offer a ton of helpful resources and vendor recommendations who were all so great as well. If you are interested in having your wedding here, you definitely should!!

The Brix is the best! The owners and staff are very responsive to questions (either through email, phone calls or in-person tours) and truly wants to help each couple have their wedding vision come to life. The Brix hosts an annual vendor open house that is super helpful. We found majority of our vendors – DJ, Photographer, Catering, Bartenders, etc. – from the open house. All our guests complimented how beautiful the venue was and had a great time dancing. The venue was more expensive than what we wanted to pay, but the cost was worth it.

We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Brix. They book up super fast, and for a good reason! Our experience from start to finish was a breeze. Everyone we worked with was incredibly communicative, transparent, and well-organized. They provided us with copious amounts of resources, and we always felt supported throughout the entire process. They have great relationships with so many different vendors, and we found nearly all of our vendors through their recommendations. The price is an absolute steal when you take into account how beautiful the space is, the amenities, accessibility, parking availability, resources provided, and their amazing staff - I truly cannot emphasize enough how lovely their staff is. Highly recommend!

B-E-A-UTIFUL is just one word that describes this venue. Best decision you could make when it comes to your ceremony + reception. The team is attentive, organized, and knows EXACTLY what they're doing - ready to make your special day perfect. Our wedding went off without a hitch. I would recommend this venue to anyone; people are still talking about our wedding and it's already been 2+ months since the big day. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without a doubt one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process was selecting The BRIX as our venue. From start to finish, The Brix was so attentive and responsive as we navigated each detail of our wedding day. Rob, Tune, Robbie, as well as every other person on staff at The BRIX, were each so genuine and intentional in each conversation we had with them. I trusted that our wedding day would go smoothly because I knew it was in good hands. It was easy to set up visits and meet with the staff as well. My family and I were so happy with the venue and many of our guests have contacted us to tell us how amazing The BRIX was. One of our groomsmen and his fiancee actually scheduled their wedding to be at The BRIX shortly after our wedding! If you want a much smoother wedding planning process, trusted staff assisting you on the day of, and a gorgeous backdrop to your special day...book with The BRIX!

If you’re still looking for wedding venues, you can stop looking now. Have your wedding at the BRIX. Their team is amazing, their sound system is stellar, and their recommended vendors are absolutely top notch. You will be blown away by the simplistic beauty of this venue, and while it is “build your own” they make it so easy. It is worth every single penny, and you and your guests will be absolutely blown away.

The Brix was the 2nd venue we toured, and we were sold from the moment we walked in - nothing else could compare! Not only were the owners personable, but they helped answer our questions throughout the entire process. The Brix does a wonderful job of providing vendor recommendations that they trust to ensure that you have the best team on your day. We particularly enjoyed attending their open house to get a feel for the venue and meet potential vendors as well. The Brix Team are also extremely prompt in addressing any questions or concerns that you may have amidst wedding planning, I appreciated their use of an online wedding portal which allowed us to organize all of our day-of info and vendor information in one place. On the big day, The Brix coordinators were extremely helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wedding at The Brix!

There are not enough good things to say about the Brix on the Fox. The Brix was the first venue that my wife and I visited, and it was obvious after we walked out that we wanted to get married her. The staff, the space, the accommodations, the vendor recommendations were all amazing, and truly made a stressful experience and enjoyable one. We look forward to recommending The Brix to all friends and family we know that are getting married.

The Brix made all of our wedding dreams come true! The venue space is beautiful and their curtain system for transforming the room between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception is flawless. They also make sure that all of your timing for your ceremony entrances is perfect. They are seasoned pros at this! The Brix also has a built in sound system and lighting that is amazing. They also have a photo booth included!
Prior to our event, they were extremely fast with replies and did not make any question feel like one too many. They welcome you to come back and see the space as often as you would like during the planning process.
I didn't know how it would be with having two weddings at the same time (ours in the Two-Sixty and another one in the Industria), but you truly didn't even know another one was going on! Parking was not an issue and sound did not carry. Our wedding at the Brix was a dream and I would pick them over and over again!

We LOVED The BRIX!!!! I cannot recommend this venue enough!! The staff there is so kind and helpful and truly want everything to go smoothly. It might be a little overwhelming when you first book at The Brix because you need to outsource all of your vendors. But the Brix makes it so easy by having information for you to use of referred vendors. All the vendors we chose from their referred list were incredible!! Also since the preferred vendors have been to the bricks, multiple times, most of them knew each other which made the day run smoothly. We decided not to get a day of planner due to the price, but in hindsight, after the wedding, it would’ve been a huge help to have. Although all of the vendors worked together and there is a Brix staff there, we still had a few small issues with timing. Each vendor was trying to make sure their own job was done correctly, but it would’ve been helpful to have one person in charge of everything to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew what to expect during the day. We love the Brix!!!!

The Brix was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! As soon as we toured we knew it was the venue for us. Rob and the whole team were very responsive through our whole planning process and made it as easy as possible. Whether it was a question about easels or who were good partners for DJ/food/etc. they had all the answers! We had about 200 people and the space was the perfect size so that everyone had space to dance/drink/chat without being too on top of each other or feeling too spaced out. You couldn't ask for a better venue or team to support you on your wedding day, if you're questioning it - DO IT!!

The Brix was the perfect venue for our October 2022 wedding. Rob, Tone, and the Brix Team do everything to help make your wedding day as stress free as possible. From the very beginning when we went to see the venue, things were just easy. The vendor list they provide is obviously thought out, because everyone we booked off the list was fabulous. The team is very responsive to emails which is so important. They took the time to troubleshoot our wedding slideshow during the day of when there were technical difficulties. They worked seamlessly with all of the other vendors.
On top of that, the venue is absolutely beautiful and a perfect blank canvas to make your wedding dreams come true. There is plenty of parking and multiple hotels nearby. The bridal suite is small but makes for beautiful photos and did the trick for holding all of our stuff.
The venue is perfect for people wanting to have flexibility to use different vendors and use their own creative touch on their wedding day.
Make sure to take photos by the trees outside if you choose the Brix, they are a beautiful backdrop.

The BRIX is AMAZING! The best choice for a wedding venue and would recommend to everyone to use for their wedding! We looked at multiple venues and ended up choosing The BRIX because we thought the owners (Rob and Tone) truly cared about all of the work they put into the venue and simply how beautiful it was too. Once you book your wedding at The Brix they will tell you that you can use any vendor you would like but will still give you a list of vendors that go to The BRIX frequently. I highly recommend to someone having their wedding there that they use that list; I had the BEST vendors from catering, DJ, decor, liquor, hair and make up, and bartending services because of this list and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. This also helped me not have to use a day of coordinator because the vendors work together so much that everything went smooth on my wedding from start to finish. Rob, Tone, Robbie, and their other staff were very accommodating, nice, and easy to work with. The lights they used for the dance floor, the sound system in the venue, and photo booths were all amazing and without those details and the amazing vendors we used I don’t think our wedding would have gone as smooth as it did or been as fun. There’s a reason most of their 2023 and 2024 dates are booked, so if you’re questioning whether or not to book your wedding there I would say DO IT! You won’t regret your choice :)

We had our wedding at the Brix October of 2022 and it was absolutely the perfect venue for our special day. The location is easy to get to from the suburbs, and our guests had a breeze parking or arriving via shuttle. The owners Rob & Tone were so kind, and from the moment we viewed the venue we had a great feeling about the space and their company. Their vendor recommendations made our planning process incredibly smooth, and they were so responsive over email which really helped us stay relaxed and organized while planning our big day.
The space itself is just beautiful. We used the Industria for our 60-person event, which had absolutely plenty of space. We could have easily fit many more people if we had wanted. Their wooden tables are beautiful, so we skipped the linen rental headache and left them bare. The ceremony space was simple and elegant, their bridal suite is very nice, and their event staff is incredibly helpful and easy to work with during the event itself. We loved that there was a bit of outdoor space for bag toss and cooling off throughout the evening. The photobooth was a great added bonus too. We love their one-and-done pricing style, and that you can use any vendor you want without having to pay extra fees- plus the ability to provide your own alcohol instead of going with a caterer can really save a ton of money.
It’s been a bit over two weeks since our wedding, and we’re still hearing so many compliments from friends and family about how much they loved the venue. Everything came together perfectly for our wedding, and the Brix was absolutely key to everything. I’d go on and on, but all I’ll say is if you are bored of bland banquet halls and don’t want to take out another mortgage to afford your wedding, look no further.

I don’t even know where to start with how phenomenal the Brix was- it was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From an aesthetic perspective, the Brix is such a gorgeous venue and a great canvas to decorate no matter what look you're going for. Planning the wedding was super smooth- the Brix provided so many documents and guides for planning along with which vendors they recommend and have worked with so I felt like I didn’t have to search around like crazy to find vendors. Because we chose vendors recommended by the Brix, the day of the wedding went so smoothly because the vendors were familiar with the venue. The staff at the Brix were all fantastic- they answered all of our many questions during the planning process and during the wedding made us feel really taken care of and ensured everything went smoothly. The transformation from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to dinner was seamless and really wowed our guests (and us!). We have received so many compliments about how gorgeous the Brix was and because the sound/acoustics in the Brix are so great, guests were able to chat and not have to yell to hear each other by the tables, while the music was louder on the dance floor. Our wedding was almost a month ago and we are still in awe at how perfectly the day went, and a huge reason is because of the Brix and their incredible staff. Thank you so much!

Their vendor list was the most helpful thing I could have asked for and took so much stress off of my planning and on the day of. Thank you guys SO MUCH for taking care of us. Wouldn’t have had it any other way.

We are so thrilled with our experience at the Brix! The whole Brix team is so knowledgeable about the wedding industry and planning process. Most of our vendors were recommended by the Brix and we are so glad we went with all of them! We were nervous about not having a wedding planner or day or coordinator but the Brix staff made the entire day go so smoothly! The venue is also so beautiful by itself and doesn’t require a ton of extra decor which made setup/cleanup super easy! We 10/10 recommend!

They were always responsive, engaged, and had the best enthusiasm. We had our ceremony and reception on the Industria side and it was better than I imagined - the space is so beautiful. The customization options really help make the venue your own. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Cannot say enough great things about having our wedding at The BRIX this summer! From the time of our first visit, Rob, Tone, and the entire team were helpful and responsive. We were planning this wedding from across the country, and they could not have made the process any easier. Any time we had a question, they were quick to respond with their expertise. We didn't have many questions, though, as we stuck to their recommended vendor lists which is full of the best of the best. The entire building is stunning- you truly don't need much to make your wedding look perfect! To top it off, we had a large sentimental item accidently left at the venue the night of the wedding, and Rob went above and beyond to get it back to us all the way in Texas. Thank you to The BRIX for helping us have our PERFECT wedding!

We're so happy that we discovered The BRIX! We had our wedding on the Two-Sixty side of the venue and it was the perfect space for our special day. The BRIX is stunning and brought a taste of the city with its exposed brick, wooden beams and more to the suburbs - exactly what we were looking for! Not only was Rob, Tone, and The BRIX staff great to work with (and we really appreciated having them there the day of), but the wedding toolkit they provided, including a long list of recommended vendors, floorplans, and more, was incredibly helpful during the wedding planning process. We discovered the majority of our vendors through their list, and we couldn't be more thankful that they helped simplify the process. We received so many compliments from family + friends on how beautiful the venue was. We HIGHLY recommend putting The BRIX on your must-see list!!

We had our wedding at the Brix on 6/25/22. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the outdoor area by the river is amazing as well. They have their sound system set up in a way that makes music loud on the dance floor but you are still able to talk at the tables. The team at the Brix was amazing the day of as well as leading up to our wedding. Whenever we had a question we got a quick response. They also have an extensive list of recommended vendors. Every single one of the vendors we used that they recommended exceeded our expectations. At times it felt overwhelming planning, but I knew I could always turn to the team at the Brix to help with anything and everything I needed. I can not recommend this beautiful space and team enough!

I honestly cannot recommend the Brix enough. The venue is absolutely gorgeous which you can see upon your first visit, but the Brix stands out beyond the beauty. The entire team is communicative and provides excellent advice as you plan for the big day. As for day of coordination, I was blown away at the assistance they provided at every turn. They made sure we knew who to turn to with questions prior to the wedding started. They jumped in at every turn to make sure any hiccups were avoided and we could enjoy the entire wedding day. Seriously, book with the Brix, you won’t regret it!

I cannot stress enough how wonderful Rob, Tone and the rest of the brix staff is. We have rescheulded not once, not twice but three times and each time they were patient and understanding and were there every step of the way. We got married at the Two-Sixty (the larger venue) and it was still everything and more from when we first viewed it. The wooden beams and the large bar area is why we chose the two-sixty over the industry(which is just as beautiful). The wonderful thing about this venue is less is more! We had bud vases, candles and a runner and it was more then enough! (Rented through their kids company mortar designs) Everything went beautifully, Rob & Tone were both there behind the curtain helping everybody get in line and give words of advice and encouragement! Don’t even think of looking elsewhere. Everything was perfect. All their vendors they recommended were also amazing! We used mostly all vendors who have been here!
Once you view this gorgeous venue, there will be no question in your mind that you’ll get married here.

Truly, the best venue!
As soon as my husband and I stepped into The Brix we both knew it was the one!
I was a little nervous about having a venue where we would need to find all our vendors.. but it ended up being the best decision. The staff made it SUPER easy with their preferred vendor list.
Not to mention.. the venue is BEAUTIFUL (we were in the two-sixty). Many of our guests talk about how stunning everything was and how it was the most beautiful venue they’ve been to! Don’t have big budget for decor? With the character and beauty The Brix has.. it’s truly all you need!
Lastly & most importantly.. the staff. Wow - it was such a pleasure working with everyone :) we couldn’t have done it without you guys! They definitely make sure that your day is special and perfect. From answering questions leading up to the big day and all the help and guidance they gave on our wedding day, everyone was so helpful and just a joy to work with!

We got married at the Brix on the Industria side and what a gorgeous venue this is! We were planning everything from out of state and in the middle of the pandemic so we were being extra careful with the vendor selection, but they were perfect! The venue is elevated and spacious with an intimate feeling and the team! We loved that they are so transparent about everything, excellent communication, and they give the freedom and time to make decisions about other vendors unlike other venues we had contacted. They also provide a list of highly recommended vendors which made remote planning so much easier - we ended up finding most of our vendors from it.
Overall, we cannot recommend it enough. The Brix provides a beautiful blank canvas for you to do as much or as little personalization as you want for your special day, and it will turn out perfect. Everyone we talked to about getting married there only had good things to say about the place, and so do we.
Also, a huge plus: the photobooth was such a hit! The guests loved it and we received the digital photos the day immediately after the wedding. The photos were of such high quality and it was a great way to appreciate the wedding day a bit longer.

My husband and I are extremely happy that we decided to have our wedding reception at The Brix on 2.25.22. Robbie, Tone, and the rest of the Brix family were really accommodating and helpful. I would always email Robbie whenever I had questions, and he never fails to respond promptly. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to everyone at The Brix! Look at how dreamy & magical it turned out in our photos; whenever I watch our wedding Instagram stories from guests, I can't help but smile because everyone sounded and looked so happy. My family from New Jersey couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the Brix was and how it wasn't the typical wedding reception style. We can't say enough about how much we love The Brix! So grateful!

Our wedding was 3 weeks ago at the Brix and there just aren't enough words to describe how incredible and beautiful the day was thanks to the Brix. The venue is just STUNNING! We have received so many compliments from all of our guests on how spectacular the venue is (we were in the Two Sixty). Rob, Tonne and Robbie are always quick to respond, very accommodating (especially since we had to bump our wedding a year due to the pandemic) and helpful to answer questions and bounce ideas off of them throughout the process. From the moment you book with them they provide you a detailed rundown of what you will need, suggested vendors, ideas, etc. And thanks to their suggestions we landed on some amazing and incredible vendors!
It really is a no brainer! The Brix is the perfect mix of make it your own and venue provided amenities. Given that we were married the week before Christmas, we were able to bring in 7 Christmas trees and bourbon barrels and turn the room into a beautiful, cozy Christmas affair! Robbie and Gihi were so attentive and accommodating the day of the wedding. The day went off perfectly. Rob, Tone and Robbie - thank you from the bottom of our heart for such an incredible day and phenomenal venue!! The Brix is THE venue to book!

It has been a month since our wedding and we are still constantly getting compliments from family and friends about how gorgeous our venue was! The Brix truly is a beautiful blank slate that every couple can put their own spin on. I really loved that The Brix allowed us to choose our own vendors and also appreciated that they suggested some of their favorites that they have worked with in the past. It is also so amazing that a photo booth is included and you receive all of your guests’ photos on a Google Photos drive literally the night of the wedding.
Robby was absolutely amazing to work with - he was responsive, professional, and super knowledgeable whenever we needed advice or a suggestion. Helping our rehearsal run super smoothly the night before our wedding made him a familiar face on our big day that we knew we could trust to ensure the day went smoothly. Gihi was also so sweet on the day of the event - we can’t thank her enough for all of her help!
If you are considering choosing The Brix as your wedding venue I highly recommend that you book a tour - once you see how beautiful it is in person you will have no doubt that it is the perfect venue!

Rob, Tone, and their team are absolutely amazing and I could not recommend the Brix enough! The stunning venue, the option to DIY/BYOB is so helpful to making your day unique, and Rob & Tone are there to support you every step of the way. They also have recommended vendors whom they have vetted, which allows for you to feel like you are making an informed decision. Literally not one detail is overlooked when it comes to using this venue!
Thank you to the Brix team for making our day so special!!

The Brix was absolutely amazing!! We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and they were so understanding and allowed us to move our date to November 2021. The day of the wedding the staff helped with so many things and someone was always there if you needed anything. The venue is beautiful and has everything you need to make your special day so amazing. Thank you!!

We booked the Brix shortly after they opened and we were lucky we did! The team at the Brix is amazing. We were planning our wedding from out of state, and the team on site was very helpful in assisting whenever we had questions about layouts or other things in the venue we weren't physically able to go check out and get a sense for. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid, and they were beyond accommodating throughout the process; they were so helpful in keeping us up to date on any changes we needed to know about, and were quick with communicating throughout the process. The Brix allows couples to choose their own vendors, allowing us to make the day our own but also were able to provide guidance on vendors that they have previously worked with at the venue and liked. Everything day of ran so smoothly thanks to the staff at the Brix! We could not have been happier with our day and received so many compliments on how amazing and gorgeous the venue is!

AMAZING VENUE & STAFF! We could not have had a better team with the Brix. We originally planned to have a reception in April of 2020 but had to postpone our reception until October of 2021. The Brix was extremely understanding and willing to work with us throughout. Their staff was always friendly, patient, organized, compassionate and professional and very responsive throughout the planning process. Everything the day of the reception went splendidly, and we could not recommend them enough!

We used the Brix as our venue for our wedding on 10/16 and WOW. The Brix is an amazing venue and the owners, Rob and Tone, were awesome to work with! We could not have imagined a more perfect day for our wedding and the guests were absolute thrilled with the venue .

Look no further for an amazing venue! The Brix is not only beautiful, but the whole team is there to make sure your day is amazing. They helped us nail down our floor plan, gave us amazing vendors (that did not disappoint) to hire, and did I mention the venue is beautiful? There was a wedding the night before ours and you would of never guessed there was a giant party right before us. The venue is so clean and easy access as its not too far from the expressway. 10/10 recommend.

My husband and I got married on the Industria side of Brix 2 weeks ago and it was perfect! We had looked at a few other venues with similar vibes but we are so glad we chose Brix. The venue is so pretty and everyone who came loved it. Rob and everyone we spoke and worked with were so helpful and accommodating and answered all of my legit and crazy questions. I could not have asked for a better venue to get married at. Even with Covid, everything was perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

The first and only venue I looked at.
Stunning venue that speaks for itself. If there’s one thing I knew I wanted at the start of planning, it was that I didn’t want your typical wedding banquet. I had found a couple potential venues during my search, but none that really stood out. It wasn’t until my mom mentioned The Brix, that I instantly fell in love. We immediately booked an appointment to view the venue in person, and I was sold. It was everything I had envisioned. The industrial ceiling, the exposed brick, absolutely STUNNING! They are also true to how they promote themselves as an ‘all in one’ venue. The photo booth, farm tables, chairs, sound system, and lighting are all included in one fixed price. Not to mention, the owners - Rob, Tone, and Robbie are the sweetest and most helpful people to work with. From the moment we booked the venue, they provided us with us list of vendors they’ve worked with/recommend, helpful table layouts for seating, and just helpful tips in general. We ended up booking all of our vendors from their list, and they too were all wonderful to work with! Leading up to the wedding, I was able to book a visit to finalize my seating layout, and get a feel for how things would look. Not sure of the layout I had made, Robbie quickly came to the rescue and offered his input. I could not have been happier with how it turned out. As if that wasn’t enough, the day before our wedding, I reached out to Robbie once more and asked if there was any way I could drop some things off to keep overnight in the bridal suite. Once again he was very accommodating, and even offered to help me unload the car when I arrived. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that their clients are happy! Thank you for everything!!

We had our wedding at the Brix this past June and we could not say enough amazing things about the venue and the support we received. Rob and Tone truly helped our dream wedding come together, especially through all of the heartaches we had to go through planning around COVID. In the end, they gave us all the support we needed, were always very fast to respond, and had endless contacts and recommendations to make sure our day turned out exactly the way we envisioned. They even reached out to vendors for us when we were panicking about whether or not certain things would work out. They went above and beyond for us as their clients, and when the day finally came, it was so nice to have them there and involved to make sure everything went smoothly. You will not find a better venue this beautiful and unique, nor will you find support like this anywhere else. We originally backed out of another venue in the very beginning and were willing to take the loss because the Brix was so amazing. The customization options are what really made the day unique to us as a couple. We are so grateful for this family-run business and everything the entire family has done for us. THANK YOU for making our day so special!

If you're looking for a venue that isn't your typical banquet hall, then look no further! The Brix is absolutely stunning and gives that rustic chic we were looking for. Many family members were so impressed at how beautiful the venue was and we loved that we could have both our ceremony and reception in one place! My mother especially loved the sound system they have within the building. It allows people to jam on the dance floor while also being able to talk at your table and by the bar area without having to yell. Very well thought out. Rob, Tone, and the rest of the team are so helpful. I was so overwhelmed about the thought of "do it yourself" but they have an amazing list of vendors from caterers, djs, florists, coordinators and even though we went through our own vendors on a couple of things, everyone works together flawlessly thanks to the system that the Brix set up. We had a little hiccup when it came to our alcohol that we pre-mixed, but overall it didn't impact our night too much.

Beautiful venue, big space, huge bar, great bridal suite, a ton of natural lighting, flexible with opening the doors, amazing sound system, beautiful farm tables, your wedding your way! The owners are super involved which helps so much! Being fully transparent they did not handle the COVID pandemic situation and having to reschedule the best way, however, no one really knew how to handle such situation. All of that being said I’m happy we stayed with them because they truly handled our wedding day with such grace and we’re so helpful in assuring that our day ran smoothly. The fact that they have cameras so I could see the ceremony processional, as I hid behind the cameras was one of a kind experience, something you probably didn’t think of, but they did! They have a whole portal with honest vendor recommendations and that itself helps you plan out your whole wedding! If you want a beautiful venue that lets you pick your vendors and helps guide you through the vendor process the Brix is the way to go!

I can’t say enough positive words about this venue! My husband and I had to book a venue in the midst of COVID-19 last summer and weren’t able to do in-person tours of venues at the time. Rob gave us a phenomenal virtual tour and it was evident how involved and passionate he was about his business. Through all the planning process Rob, Tone, and their son, Robbie, were so great at responding to emails quickly and suggesting things that have worked well for previous clients in the past. They also provide a Google folder with all the vendors that they work with on a regular basis, floor plans, and other helpful event planning information. We ended up booking with a majority of their preferred vendors and it honestly made our wedding day so seamless! Our guests couldn’t get over how amazing the venue was and how great it was to have such an open space. There was next to no wait at the bar for the entire wedding due to it being so large for guests to quickly order a drink. The owners are super accommodating and flexible to your needs as well, which decreases stress throughout the planning process. You will NOT regret booking your wedding or event with the BRIX, it truly is one of the best venues in the Chicagoland area!

We had the absolute best experience at The BRIX with Rob, Tone, Robbie, and JiHee. We booked this venue about a year and a half before our wedding date. As soon as we booked, Rob and Tone provided us with many different resources and vendors in the area to help with the wedding planning process, which was a huge time saver for us (especially because I am not a planner)! It was great knowing that we had chosen reliable vendors who had previous experience at The BRIX. We chose the Industria room, which was the perfect size for our guests. I was a little nervous about the dance floor being in a different space than the reception tables (mainly for the first dances), but it worked out beautifully, just as I was told that it would! I do not have a single complaint about the venue. I saw that some people mentioned the music being too loud, but we did not have that experience at all. I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a stress free planning process and stress free wedding day! I am so happy we got married here!

The Brix is an absolutely beautiful venue, and was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Rob, Tone, and Robbie were so helpfully during the entire wedding planning process. (even having to postpone due to covid) They were always just an email away, and always had an answer to whatever questions I had. They made the set up process so easy, and took care of all the small details. The photo book was so fun, and I love that we got a copy of all the pictures, via Google docs. Overall we had an amazing experience at the Brix and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

Moved my wedding to The Brix due to covid and they made the switch so easy! They shared an entire list of amazing recommended vendors that they have personally worked with and have a great relationship with. They were so helpful and flexible and had so many things that were included in the venue including a photobooth station, an amazing sound and light system, and gorgeous rustic tables and chairs. They ended up being better than my original venue and I'm so glad that we ended up having to switch!

Other than being able to finally tie the knot together, the Brix was the best part of our special celebration!! They were BEYOND accommodating during the COVID19 pandemic and were so helpful in making sure we were able to get a date that worked with our schedule that we could still have the best celebration possible. There is nothing the BRIX won't do for it's clients, which including answering all of the questions at all times of the day when those slight panic attacks set in. They are truly a world class venue and the way they were able to make the place so special for us was more than we could have ever imagined. The pictures in the perfect layout and industrial environment make not only the visuals of the day pop, but also the acoustics while we boogied on the dance floor. The BRIX was also extremely patient with our needy parents and welcomed ALL of their questions with open arms.
100/10 recommend to any and all couples looking to relieve any of the stresses that come with planning a wedding (especially during these times)!

I’ve waited a while to write this review because I am not even sure where to start. Having the BRIX as our wedding venue was one of the highlights of the entire wedding process! We booked them after only being engaged a week and before the Industria was even remotely finished. The entire team, Rob, Tone and Robbie, were the most wonderful people to work with. Even during COVID when I would call for updates constantly, they were calm and compassionate and ever the professionals trying to do whatever they could to make our wedding still be the day we had always wanted it to be. All our guests were amazed at how beautiful the venue is and how romantic and warm and inviting it was. The entire venue, outside and in, created places for us to take beautiful pictures that we will be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives. During a crazy year, The BRIX (Rob, Tone, and Robbie) were a highlight and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better venue or team to work with to make our wedding day dreams come true.

I wish I could give them 10 stars! I can’t describe how INCREDIBLE the brix family is. We live out of town, so they were always incredibly accommodating when we wanted to come stop in to see the venue! They also have been extremely responsive to any and every question we had and always gave us their honest opinion. When our wedding was up in the air due to covid, they were SO accommodating and informed us every step of the way. Our wedding did need to be postponed multiple times now and they have been so helpful each time and also helped make our original wedding day perfect! Can not recommend this incredibly beautiful venue enough!

Choosing the BRIX was easily one of the best decision we could have made in planning our wedding! I honestly cannot say enough good things about the BRIX or the staff. The venue is gorgeous and the location couldn't get much better! Having the sunset over the river made for some incredibly beautiful pictures. The sound system is perfect for people who want to have a good time dancing but still want their guests to be able to hear one another talking if they're not out on the dance floor. The photobooth was super cute and we loved being able to have a copy of all of the pictures our guests took! The BYOB concept was definitely the cheapest route for us, especially because we knew not all of our guests would drink. Rob, Tone, and Robbie were extremely responsive and went above and beyond to help us plan our event. When everything seemed to be getting ruined due to COVID, they were ready and more than willing to help us make our dream day still be possible. I would recommend the BRIX to anyone and everyone - especially anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue, staff who go above and beyond, an amazing sound system, and a picture-perfect wedding.

THE BRIX IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST VENUE IN THE MIDWEST... Maybe in USA.. In my opinion world! :) We started our venue search over two years ago and The Brix was the first venue we saw. It was love at first sight for my HUSBAND and I. We have had such a wonderful experience with Rob, Tone, and their entire family. Not only is the venue perfect in every way, but the people running it are even more amazing. They have poured their heart and soul into the spac
