If anyone is interested in visiting The Mercantile to have your wedding there, save yourself time and do not look elsewhere! Barb and Dan are incredible to say the least. The venue itself is stunning but what makes a venue even more special are the owners and their team. We did not worry about a thing! It was so perfectly coordinated so if you’re a bride with a touch of OCD, let it go! You are in excellent hands. I told Barb that she and her husband, Dan did the right thing by opening a wedding venue as they make bride and groom’s wedding day dreams come true! Barb also has a love for decorating and has gorgeous decor to choose from! Other venues barely give you tables for your guests. It rained on our day, but they brought the ceremony inside and made it even more magical than we ever could have imagined! They have a true passion, and it showed. I do not have a single, negative thing to say! Barb, Dan, Chase, Gavin, Amy, Amanda, Ashley, and Kylie thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 🥰
This is by far the best venue you could possibly reserve. They are WELL worth the investment. They are great at communicating and organized throughout the entire process. We had 2 consulting meetings after booking before the "big day". They also have a list of recommended vendors that they've worked with in the past (affordable and fantastic) To top it all off they are perfect on the wedding day! They have an extensive staff and day of coordinators to make the day absolutely perfect. I would recommended them again and again. All of our guests noticed how unique, clean and organized the venue was. They will do anything to make your day perfect!
The Mercantile staff are amazing! We were married on 9/25/22. The owners Barb and Dan are wonderful and their sincere commitment to making our wedding day perfect was top knotch!
The entire staff's commitment made the morning of our wedding a breeze and throughout the rest of they day.
The venue and grounds are beautiful and the planning process is a fun and easy. The Mercantile is without a doubt a hidden gem!
Thanks for making our day great!
Barb and her team at The Mercantile were absolutely amazing! Not only is the venue stunning, but the care, and attention, they show to their clients is outstanding. We had a vision for our wedding and Barb executed it beyond anything we could’ve imagined. From the rehearsal, to the day-of coordination, The Mercantile team takes care of it all! I would recommend the venue to any bride-to-be!!
I could say so many positive qualities about Barb, Dan, and how they make the Mercantile a dream venue for all weddings!! They made my dream come true for a perfect wedding, and I highly recommend them to any future bride.
They worked with me to create my dream wedding and relieved me of any stress that I may have planning a wedding. Bard has a beautiful array of decor you can use for your wedding. She has an eye for design and will bring your vision to fruition.
I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue and kinder people to work with. There staff waited on me hand foot and made sure I didn’t need anything. They were so kind and kept me calm and happy the whole entire time. You would not get this kind of service anywhere else!!
You will continue to get complements on the venue way after it’s said and done! My family and friends raved about the Mercantile and countless family members said I want this venue for my wedding next!!
Please choose them!! 🤍
Our daughter was married at the Mercantile on 10/02/22 her wedding was absolutely beautiful ! Everything from start to finish went perfect ! Thanks to Barb the owner. All of the flowers and all of the others things she added was so beautiful ! By the time she got finished decorating the venue it was so amazing ! All of her staff was very helpful with everything involved !
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 vendors. They were attentive to every need and SOSOSO flexible when we had an off the wall request.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an AMAZING staff, this is it.
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 entire 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!
Amazing venue for an outdoor wedding! Barb and her team were awesome, helped my husband and I through the entire planning process; were excellent on the day of the wedding making sure everything ran smoothly and on time; and did an excellent job decorating! They completely exceeded my expectations and I can't recommend them enough!
Had to rearrange everything for the wedding due to COVID, and I couldn’t be happier with everything Barb has done for us! I love this place!
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.
Our wedding was a huge success! The Mercantile helped our wedding dreams come true! Everything and every moment was perfect, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Barb, Dan, and their staff! Our guests were so impressed with the venue, the space is absolutely perfect and feels so comfortable and welcoming! We are still beaming from our wedding day, thank you for allowing us to celebrate at your beautiful venue and for all your patience and help along the way.
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 offered 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!
The Mercantile was the perfect venue for our reception for so many reasons. The variety of choices for customization of decor and just the setting itself truly helped to make our experience unique. Barb and Dan's flexibility and their willingness to help us any way they could was above and beyond and minimized what could have been hectic schedules; very much appreciated. Absolutely loved the experience there and had so many compliments, we cannot recommend The Mercantile enough!
The Mercantile is a beautiful place for your wedding! The venue comes prepared with decorations that are available to use with venue rental. The staff is so helpful and accommodating. Barb is with you every step of the way to make sure your big day is amazing! All of our guests loved the venue and stated that one day when they get married they want to get married there! The Mercantile made our day absolutely perfect.
