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!
