“We had our wedding at the Barley Room in October and it was wonderful! Beautiful venue and the price point especially for the area is great. The bridal suite was perfect to get ready in. We loved being able to choose all of our vendors and make the space our own. Clai and Ann are very easy to work with. We are so happy we chose to have our wedding here :)”

“From the moment we toured Mercantile Hall I knew this was the venue for us. The brick, outdoor garden, and overall industrial vibe was exactly what I was looking for. Then, meeting the team solidified that this was our venue because they are all so knowledgeable, supportive, and positive. They are exactly who you want in your corner on the busiest day of your life. Beth was my coordinator (I highly recommend the luxe coordinator package) and she was AMAZING! She helped me with planning, getting organized, setting up a timeline, and supported me through the whole process. Then, once wedding day came I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Beth took care of everything and executed my vision perfectly. Additionally I used Merc Sound their DJ service and have to give a shoutout to DJ Terry! He was SO organized, detailed, and brought the energy. Having both DJ Terry and Beth running the most important day of my life kept me sane, relaxed, and able to live in the moment. Another aspect I love about this venue was the location. Downtown Burlington has everything you need for your weekend. When I booked Mercantile Hall it was primarily for the beautiful venue itself, but the staff and coordination blew my expectations out of the water. There is so much that goes on behind the seens and it is so important you have trustworthy, organized, and professional people working for you that day. I truly can’t thank or recommend Mercantile Hall & staff enough!!”
