About This Vendor

Unique Unexpected Venue

Situated in Mt. Sterling, OH, The Mercantile is a historic wedding venue that has been open since 2017 for events. Located on a property spanning three acres, the barn offers welcoming spaces for a couple to celebrate their love. Soon-to-be newlyweds can easily transform the venue to suit their personality and style. Constructed by The Ohio Farm Bureau in the 1960s, The Mercantile now features a vintage charm. Between the string lights and the ornate chandeliers, there is a sense of sophistication found throughout the rustic space. The passionate employees strive to ensure that your wedding is orchestrated with ease. The team staffs each event as well, providing you and your guests with high standards of customer service. The Mercantile’s team is enthusiastic about assisting couples to make their day successful and memorable. The venue's design professionals can create centerpieces, arrange tablescapes, and decorate the ceremony area. They can also create installations and floral arrangements to breathe life into your wedding ideas. The team offers setup and breakdown services for your convenience. Before you walk down the aisle, you and your wedding party can prepare in the climate-controlled dressing room which features a kitchenette. An additional dressing room is also available for your partner and their wedding entourage. The warehouse itself features multiple areas for the celebrations and catering to take place. One area, the 90-foot Veranda, is covered which is ideal in case of inclement weather. Adjacent to this space, there is the Courtyard with fire pits for roasting camping treats and enjoying beverages. The team provides tables and chairs for up to 180 guests and can arrange additional seating if needed.

I can't say enough positive things about The Mercantile. Through the entire planning process and day of was seamless & all went off without a hitch! I am so grateful that Barb & Dan made our day SOSOSO easy not only for us and for our other v...

We absolutely loved this venue. They provide all the decorations and Barb- the owner, decorator, and day of wedding coordinator- is absolutely AMAZING. The decorations she put together were perfect and everything looked wonderful. She has an en...
tire warehouse of decorations, fake flower, arch ways and tons of other options and clearly is very experienced in decorating. The arch and flowers she put together looked incredible and all the little touches with mirrors and frames etc made every inch of the venue look beautiful. She was so accommodating and responsive in the planning process as we planned from out of state, she even let us ship some things to her house for the venue. The venue itself is constantly being updated too and looked even better day of than the year before when we saw it! Barb and her staff also helped make sure everything ran smoothly day of and made it a great experience for us. You can also bring your own caterer and alcohol which was perfect for us. The price is pretty all inclusive of everything and really SO worth every penny! I would say the only issue we had were that the Wi-Fi was not working well which gave us issues with our photo booth set up, the ceremony started late because they didn’t get people seated in time, and they really don’t want any cars left because you can’t come back to the venue Sunday so we had to really coordinate travel and ensure we got everything out night of the event. Honestly though, all of these were small details and everything ended up working out great! I wish the night could have went even longer!

I fell in love with this venue the first time I stepped foot on their property. Dan and Barb made things so much easier from answering all my questions to ensuring me that everything would be okay to helping us with the details that we did not ...
think of. Dan and Barb went over and beyond in many ways for us. The staff that was there the day of our wedding (I am really bad with names) was absolutely amazing, they jumped right in when ever needed and made sure that we had everything we needed. They kept us moving and kept us on schedule. They were amazing and very friendly. My husband and I's wedding was amazing and we have received multiple compliments on our big day! The Bridal Suite is absolutely amazing as well and was super user friendly. The Groom Suite was set up for the guys to hang out and just have a good time getting ready which my husband said was nice. The kitchen/prep area was amazing for the caterer that we had. Overall we had an amazing experience with Dan and Barb and definitely recommend them.

This is by far the best venue in Central Ohio. If you are a bride looking for an elegantly rustic venue, you have found your match. To start off, the barn and outdoor space is absolutely breathtaking. This venue is so well maintained, and it of...
fered so many options for how we could design our big day. The best part about this venue is that it comes equipped with an entire inventory of decor and furnishings that you can choose from. It really is the venue that allows you to "make it your own" in the easiest, most convienent way possible. However, it doesn't hurt that this venue is the best bang for your buck. It is so affordable and well worth every penny. Along with this, the owners Barb & Dan (who are so helpful along the entire process, from booking to setting up) are genuinely kind and gracious people who will make sure your big day is absolutely perfect and stress free. My wedding was seriously perfect because of this place, and I highly recommend it to every bride!
