We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!

She was great at communicating with us, took time to get to know us and understand what kind of vibe we were going for, and most importantly, she managed every little detail on the wedding day to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our guests are still talking about the food (From the venue), the laid back outdoor beer garden for cocktail hour, and how nice it was that the team flipped the room so quickly that people didn't even notice it was happening!

The venue itself looks very deceiving and small from the outside. However, the cocktail room and reception room are beautiful and elegant. Gabrielle, our day of coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made our day go so smoothly, and we never had to worry about anything going wrong. She truly cares about her job and clients, and it shows in her beautiful work. The food was very good, and I am a harsh critic when it comes to wedding food. Multiple guests have came up to us stating that the venue was beautiful and food great. We could have not asked for a better place to host our special day.

We had our wedding here in October 2025, and it was fantastic! From my initial tour July of 2024, to the food tasting, and communication beforehand, all top tier! Once we had dinner at The Great Debate downstairs, we knew the catering would be perfect for a wedding for two foodies. Savanna was a saving grace, and was a calming presence to ensure everything went smoothly. All of our guests RAVED about the venue all night long! It is such a unique spot that is hidden within Freeport. The party went all night thanks to fantastic energy from the bartender, Wes! This venue was a dream for me, and checked every single box. Highly recommend!
