I don’t even know where to start with how phenomenal the Brix was- it was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From an aesthetic perspective, the Brix is such a gorgeous venue and a great canvas to decorate no matter what look you're going for. Planning the wedding was super smooth- the Brix provided so many documents and guides for planning along with which vendors they recommend and have worked with so I felt like I didn’t have to search around like crazy to find vendors. Because we chose vendors recommended by the Brix, the day of the wedding went so smoothly because the vendors were familiar with the venue. The staff at the Brix were all fantastic- they answered all of our many questions during the planning process and during the wedding made us feel really taken care of and ensured everything went smoothly. The transformation from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to dinner was seamless and really wowed our guests (and us!). We have received so many compliments about how gorgeous the Brix was and because the sound/acoustics in the Brix are so great, guests were able to chat and not have to yell to hear each other by the tables, while the music was louder on the dance floor. Our wedding was almost a month ago and we are still in awe at how perfectly the day went, and a huge reason is because of the Brix and their incredible staff. Thank you so much!

If you’re still looking for wedding venues, you can stop looking now. Have your wedding at the BRIX. Their team is amazing, their sound system is stellar, and their recommended vendors are absolutely top notch. You will be blown away by the simplistic beauty of this venue, and while it is “build your own” they make it so easy. It is worth every single penny, and you and your guests will be absolutely blown away.

The Brix was the 2nd venue we toured, and we were sold from the moment we walked in - nothing else could compare! Not only were the owners personable, but they helped answer our questions throughout the entire process. The Brix does a wonderful job of providing vendor recommendations that they trust to ensure that you have the best team on your day. We particularly enjoyed attending their open house to get a feel for the venue and meet potential vendors as well. The Brix Team are also extremely prompt in addressing any questions or concerns that you may have amidst wedding planning, I appreciated their use of an online wedding portal which allowed us to organize all of our day-of info and vendor information in one place. On the big day, The Brix coordinators were extremely helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wedding at The Brix!

There are not enough good things to say about the Brix on the Fox. The Brix was the first venue that my wife and I visited, and it was obvious after we walked out that we wanted to get married her. The staff, the space, the accommodations, the vendor recommendations were all amazing, and truly made a stressful experience and enjoyable one. We look forward to recommending The Brix to all friends and family we know that are getting married.

The Brix made all of our wedding dreams come true! The venue space is beautiful and their curtain system for transforming the room between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception is flawless. They also make sure that all of your timing for your ceremony entrances is perfect. They are seasoned pros at this! The Brix also has a built in sound system and lighting that is amazing. They also have a photo booth included! Prior to our event, they were extremely fast with replies and did not make any question feel like one too many. They welcome you to come back and see the space as often as you would like during the planning process. I didn't know how it would be with having two weddings at the same time (ours in the Two-Sixty and another one in the Industria), but you truly didn't even know another one was going on! Parking was not an issue and sound did not carry. Our wedding at the Brix was a dream and I would pick them over and over again!

We LOVED The BRIX!!!! I cannot recommend this venue enough!! The staff there is so kind and helpful and truly want everything to go smoothly. It might be a little overwhelming when you first book at The Brix because you need to outsource all of your vendors. But the Brix makes it so easy by having information for you to use of referred vendors. All the vendors we chose from their referred list were incredible!! Also since the preferred vendors have been to the bricks, multiple times, most of them knew each other which made the day run smoothly. We decided not to get a day of planner due to the price, but in hindsight, after the wedding, it would’ve been a huge help to have. Although all of the vendors worked together and there is a Brix staff there, we still had a few small issues with timing. Each vendor was trying to make sure their own job was done correctly, but it would’ve been helpful to have one person in charge of everything to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew what to expect during the day. We love the Brix!!!!

The Brix was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! As soon as we toured we knew it was the venue for us. Rob and the whole team were very responsive through our whole planning process and made it as easy as possible. Whether it was a question about easels or who were good partners for DJ/food/etc. they had all the answers! We had about 200 people and the space was the perfect size so that everyone had space to dance/drink/chat without being too on top of each other or feeling too spaced out. You couldn't ask for a better venue or team to support you on your wedding day, if you're questioning it - DO IT!!

The Brix was the perfect venue for our October 2022 wedding. Rob, Tone, and the Brix Team do everything to help make your wedding day as stress free as possible. From the very beginning when we went to see the venue, things were just easy. The vendor list they provide is obviously thought out, because everyone we booked off the list was fabulous. The team is very responsive to emails which is so important. They took the time to troubleshoot our wedding slideshow during the day of when there were technical difficulties. They worked seamlessly with all of the other vendors. On top of that, the venue is absolutely beautiful and a perfect blank canvas to make your wedding dreams come true. There is plenty of parking and multiple hotels nearby. The bridal suite is small but makes for beautiful photos and did the trick for holding all of our stuff. The venue is perfect for people wanting to have flexibility to use different vendors and use their own creative touch on their wedding day. Make sure to take photos by the trees outside if you choose the Brix, they are a beautiful backdrop.

The BRIX is AMAZING! The best choice for a wedding venue and would recommend to everyone to use for their wedding! We looked at multiple venues and ended up choosing The BRIX because we thought the owners (Rob and Tone) truly cared about all of the work they put into the venue and simply how beautiful it was too. Once you book your wedding at The Brix they will tell you that you can use any vendor you would like but will still give you a list of vendors that go to The BRIX frequently. I highly recommend to someone having their wedding there that they use that list; I had the BEST vendors from catering, DJ, decor, liquor, hair and make up, and bartending services because of this list and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. This also helped me not have to use a day of coordinator because the vendors work together so much that everything went smooth on my wedding from start to finish. Rob, Tone, Robbie, and their other staff were very accommodating, nice, and easy to work with. The lights they used for the dance floor, the sound system in the venue, and photo booths were all amazing and without those details and the amazing vendors we used I don’t think our wedding would have gone as smooth as it did or been as fun. There’s a reason most of their 2023 and 2024 dates are booked, so if you’re questioning whether or not to book your wedding there I would say DO IT! You won’t regret your choice :)

We had our wedding at the Brix October of 2022 and it was absolutely the perfect venue for our special day. The location is easy to get to from the suburbs, and our guests had a breeze parking or arriving via shuttle. The owners Rob & Tone were so kind, and from the moment we viewed the venue we had a great feeling about the space and their company. Their vendor recommendations made our planning process incredibly smooth, and they were so responsive over email which really helped us stay relaxed and organized while planning our big day.The space itself is just beautiful. We used the Industria for our 60-person event, which had absolutely plenty of space. We could have easily fit many more people if we had wanted. Their wooden tables are beautiful, so we skipped the linen rental headache and left them bare. The ceremony space was simple and elegant, their bridal suite is very nice, and their event staff is incredibly helpful and easy to work with during the event itself. We loved that there was a bit of outdoor space for bag toss and cooling off throughout the evening. The photobooth was a great added bonus too. We love their one-and-done pricing style, and that you can use any vendor you want without having to pay extra fees- plus the ability to provide your own alcohol instead of going with a caterer can really save a ton of money.It’s been a bit over two weeks since our wedding, and we’re still hearing so many compliments from friends and family about how much they loved the venue. Everything came together perfectly for our wedding, and the Brix was absolutely key to everything. I’d go on and on, but all I’ll say is if you are bored of bland banquet halls and don’t want to take out another mortgage to afford your wedding, look no further.

We were planning this wedding from across the country, and they could not have made the process any easier. Any time we had a question, they were quick to respond with their expertise. We didn't have many questions, though, as we stuck to their recommended vendor lists which is full of the best of the best. The entire building is stunning- you truly don't need much to make your wedding look perfect! To top it off, we had a large sentimental item accidently left at the venue the night of the wedding, and Rob went above and beyond to get it back to us all the way in Texas.

Not only was Rob, Tone, and The BRIX staff great to work with (and we really appreciated having them there the day of), but the wedding toolkit they provided, including a long list of recommended vendors, floorplans, and more, was incredibly helpful during the wedding planning process.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful Rob, Tone and the rest of the brix staff is. We have rescheulded not once, not twice but three times and each time they were patient and understanding and were there every step of the way. We got married at the Two-Sixty (the larger venue) and it was still everything and more from when we first viewed it. The wooden beams and the large bar area is why we chose the two-sixty over the industry(which is just as beautiful). The wonderful thing about this venue is less is more! We had bud vases, candles and a runner and it was more then enough! (Rented through their kids company mortar designs) Everything went beautifully, Rob & Tone were both there behind the curtain helping everybody get in line and give words of advice and encouragement! Don’t even think of looking elsewhere. Everything was perfect. All their vendors they recommended were also amazing! We used mostly all vendors who have been here! Once you view this gorgeous venue, there will be no question in your mind that you’ll get married here.

We got married at the Brix on the Industria side and what a gorgeous venue this is! We were planning everything from out of state and in the middle of the pandemic so we were being extra careful with the vendor selection, but they were perfect! The venue is elevated and spacious with an intimate feeling and the team! We loved that they are so transparent about everything, excellent communication, and they give the freedom and time to make decisions about other vendors unlike other venues we had contacted. They also provide a list of highly recommended vendors which made remote planning so much easier - we ended up finding most of our vendors from it.Overall, we cannot recommend it enough. The Brix provides a beautiful blank canvas for you to do as much or as little personalization as you want for your special day, and it will turn out perfect. Everyone we talked to about getting married there only had good things to say about the place, and so do we. Also, a huge plus: the photobooth was such a hit! The guests loved it and we received the digital photos the day immediately after the wedding. The photos were of such high quality and it was a great way to appreciate the wedding day a bit longer.

Robby was absolutely amazing to work with - he was responsive, professional, and super knowledgeable whenever we needed advice or a suggestion.

The first and only venue I looked at.Stunning venue that speaks for itself. If there’s one thing I knew I wanted at the start of planning, it was that I didn’t want your typical wedding banquet. I had found a couple potential venues during my search, but none that really stood out. It wasn’t until my mom mentioned The Brix, that I instantly fell in love. We immediately booked an appointment to view the venue in person, and I was sold. It was everything I had envisioned. The industrial ceiling, the exposed brick, absolutely STUNNING! They are also true to how they promote themselves as an ‘all in one’ venue. The photo booth, farm tables, chairs, sound system, and lighting are all included in one fixed price. Not to mention, the owners - Rob, Tone, and Robbie are the sweetest and most helpful people to work with. From the moment we booked the venue, they provided us with us list of vendors they’ve worked with/recommend, helpful table layouts for seating, and just helpful tips in general. We ended up booking all of our vendors from their list, and they too were all wonderful to work with! Leading up to the wedding, I was able to book a visit to finalize my seating layout, and get a feel for how things would look. Not sure of the layout I had made, Robbie quickly came to the rescue and offered his input. I could not have been happier with how it turned out. As if that wasn’t enough, the day before our wedding, I reached out to Robbie once more and asked if there was any way I could drop some things off to keep overnight in the bridal suite. Once again he was very accommodating, and even offered to help me unload the car when I arrived. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that their clients are happy! Thank you for everything!!

We had our wedding at the Brix this past June and we could not say enough amazing things about the venue and the support we received. Rob and Tone truly helped our dream wedding come together, especially through all of the heartaches we had to go through planning around COVID. In the end, they gave us all the support we needed, were always very fast to respond, and had endless contacts and recommendations to make sure our day turned out exactly the way we envisioned. They even reached out to vendors for us when we were panicking about whether or not certain things would work out. They went above and beyond for us as their clients, and when the day finally came, it was so nice to have them there and involved to make sure everything went smoothly. You will not find a better venue this beautiful and unique, nor will you find support like this anywhere else. We originally backed out of another venue in the very beginning and were willing to take the loss because the Brix was so amazing. The customization options are what really made the day unique to us as a couple. We are so grateful for this family-run business and everything the entire family has done for us. THANK YOU for making our day so special!

If you're looking for a venue that isn't your typical banquet hall, then look no further! The Brix is absolutely stunning and gives that rustic chic we were looking for. Many family members were so impressed at how beautiful the venue was and we loved that we could have both our ceremony and reception in one place! My mother especially loved the sound system they have within the building. It allows people to jam on the dance floor while also being able to talk at your table and by the bar area without having to yell. Very well thought out. Rob, Tone, and the rest of the team are so helpful. I was so overwhelmed about the thought of \"do it yourself\" but they have an amazing list of vendors from caterers, djs, florists, coordinators and even though we went through our own vendors on a couple of things, everyone works together flawlessly thanks to the system that the Brix set up. We had a little hiccup when it came to our alcohol that we pre-mixed, but overall it didn't impact our night too much.

Beautiful venue, big space, huge bar, great bridal suite, a ton of natural lighting, flexible with opening the doors, amazing sound system, beautiful farm tables, your wedding your way! The owners are super involved which helps so much! Being fully transparent they did not handle the COVID pandemic situation and having to reschedule the best way, however, no one really knew how to handle such situation. All of that being said I’m happy we stayed with them because they truly handled our wedding day with such grace and we’re so helpful in assuring that our day ran smoothly. The fact that they have cameras so I could see the ceremony processional, as I hid behind the cameras was one of a kind experience, something you probably didn’t think of, but they did! They have a whole portal with honest vendor recommendations and that itself helps you plan out your whole wedding! If you want a beautiful venue that lets you pick your vendors and helps guide you through the vendor process the Brix is the way to go!

I can’t say enough positive words about this venue! My husband and I had to book a venue in the midst of COVID-19 last summer and weren’t able to do in-person tours of venues at the time. Rob gave us a phenomenal virtual tour and it was evident how involved and passionate he was about his business. Through all the planning process Rob, Tone, and their son, Robbie, were so great at responding to emails quickly and suggesting things that have worked well for previous clients in the past. They also provide a Google folder with all the vendors that they work with on a regular basis, floor plans, and other helpful event planning information. We ended up booking with a majority of their preferred vendors and it honestly made our wedding day so seamless! Our guests couldn’t get over how amazing the venue was and how great it was to have such an open space. There was next to no wait at the bar for the entire wedding due to it being so large for guests to quickly order a drink. The owners are super accommodating and flexible to your needs as well, which decreases stress throughout the planning process. You will NOT regret booking your wedding or event with the BRIX, it truly is one of the best venues in the Chicagoland area!

We had the absolute best experience at The BRIX with Rob, Tone, Robbie, and JiHee. We booked this venue about a year and a half before our wedding date. As soon as we booked, Rob and Tone provided us with many different resources and vendors in the area to help with the wedding planning process, which was a huge time saver for us (especially because I am not a planner)! It was great knowing that we had chosen reliable vendors who had previous experience at The BRIX. We chose the Industria room, which was the perfect size for our guests. I was a little nervous about the dance floor being in a different space than the reception tables (mainly for the first dances), but it worked out beautifully, just as I was told that it would! I do not have a single complaint about the venue. I saw that some people mentioned the music being too loud, but we did not have that experience at all. I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a stress free planning process and stress free wedding day! I am so happy we got married here!

(even having to postpone due to covid) They were always just an email away, and always had an answer to whatever questions I had. They made the set up process so easy, and took care of all the small details. The photo book was so fun, and I love that we got a copy of all the pictures, via Google docs. Overall we had an amazing experience at the Brix and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

Other than being able to finally tie the knot together, the Brix was the best part of our special celebration!! They were BEYOND accommodating during the COVID19 pandemic and were so helpful in making sure we were able to get a date that worked with our schedule that we could still have the best celebration possible. There is nothing the BRIX won't do for it's clients, which including answering all of the questions at all times of the day when those slight panic attacks set in. They are truly a world class venue and the way they were able to make the place so special for us was more than we could have ever imagined. The pictures in the perfect layout and industrial environment make not only the visuals of the day pop, but also the acoustics while we boogied on the dance floor. The BRIX was also extremely patient with our needy parents and welcomed ALL of their questions with open arms. 100/10 recommend to any and all couples looking to relieve any of the stresses that come with planning a wedding (especially during these times)!

I’ve waited a while to write this review because I am not even sure where to start. Having the BRIX as our wedding venue was one of the highlights of the entire wedding process! We booked them after only being engaged a week and before the Industria was even remotely finished. The entire team, Rob, Tone and Robbie, were the most wonderful people to work with. Even during COVID when I would call for updates constantly, they were calm and compassionate and ever the professionals trying to do whatever they could to make our wedding still be the day we had always wanted it to be. All our guests were amazed at how beautiful the venue is and how romantic and warm and inviting it was. The entire venue, outside and in, created places for us to take beautiful pictures that we will be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives. During a crazy year, The BRIX (Rob, Tone, and Robbie) were a highlight and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better venue or team to work with to make our wedding day dreams come true.

Choosing the BRIX was easily one of the best decision we could have made in planning our wedding! I honestly cannot say enough good things about the BRIX or the staff. The venue is gorgeous and the location couldn't get much better! Having the sunset over the river made for some incredibly beautiful pictures. The sound system is perfect for people who want to have a good time dancing but still want their guests to be able to hear one another talking if they're not out on the dance floor. The photobooth was super cute and we loved being able to have a copy of all of the pictures our guests took! The BYOB concept was definitely the cheapest route for us, especially because we knew not all of our guests would drink. Rob, Tone, and Robbie were extremely responsive and went above and beyond to help us plan our event. When everything seemed to be getting ruined due to COVID, they were ready and more than willing to help us make our dream day still be possible. I would recommend the BRIX to anyone and everyone - especially anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue, staff who go above and beyond, an amazing sound system, and a picture-perfect wedding.

THE BRIX IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST VENUE IN THE MIDWEST... Maybe in USA.. In my opinion world! :) We started our venue search over two years ago and The Brix was the first venue we saw. It was love at first sight for my HUSBAND and I. We have had such a wonderful experience with Rob, Tone, and their entire family. Not only is the venue perfect in every way, but the people running it are even more amazing. They have poured their heart and soul into the space and it shows. It gives you the gorgeous chicago industrial boho charm you’d find in the city, in a location with endless parking and hotels for guest. They are always responsive, flexible with the ever changing Pandemic rules, organized, and will help you pull off a memorable wedding! They really think of everything. They gave us a list of preferred vendors after booking, we used almost 90% of them and our day in our eyes was flawless because of all involved. It was a huge help! We pulled off a “mini wedding” there this August 2020 amongst the pandemic and quiet honestly it exceeded our hopes and dreams. Yes we had to get creative, be patient, and it was at times stressful, but the people at The Brix will help you through and make a memorable wedding day for you without a doubt. If you have seen photos or are interested please set up a time to view the space, you will fall in love like we did. Its crazy times during COVID wedding planning but IT IS POSSIBLE and will be amazing. All our family and friends who attended tell us constantly how beautiful and wonderful our day was. We cant wait to share the memories, stories, photos, and video for the rest of our lives with those who were there and those who celebrated afar. Rob and Tone thanks for creating the most dreamy space to start our chapter as husband and wife. We are forever thankful for your help through this process.

They have a venue that can be morphed into any brides dream and looks like a different venue depending on the wedding aesthetic. We ended up using a vendor they suggested from almost every category and we're not once disappointed with our choice. They were professional every step of the way but also treated your wedding as their own; they made sure every element of your day was perfect and that you had a good time.The Brix is perfect for ANY event you hold and you will not be disappointed if you choose this venue for your big day.

The Brix on the Fox was the perfect wedding venue for our wedding. I came across The Brix on The Knot in September 2019 when the venue was just about to open. Finding a warehouse venue with enough space to house a 300+ wedding in one room is nearly impossible outside of the city of Chicago. I fell in love with the pictures and the huge open space and knew I wanted to have our wedding there. We scheduled an appointment with Rob and Tone and had a walk through of the venue while the bar was being completed. Even with all the construction we felt completely at ease with how the final product would look through talking with Rob and Tone. They are very knowledgeable and have a real passion for the venue and type of experience they want their couples to have - Your Life Your Style. No truer words could be spoken! We had the luxury of bringing in our own caterer, design team, florist, bartender, you name it! Typically venues have a strict list of preferred vendors that restricts your choices and limits your ability to reduce costs. Not the case at the Brix. Leading up to the wedding we heard from Rob, Tone and their son almost weekly to make sure we were on track with vendors and timeline. They provided us with an easy to use questionnaire that gave them our timeline, vendor information and any other pertinent information. On the day of the wedding Rob and Tone went above and beyond. They both were there when our cocktail hour began and stayed until we had cleared out at the end of the night. Rob helped to unlock our envelope box that had filled up quicker than expected, they cleaned up wine that spilled on the dance floor, handled questions from vendors, and helped us clear out at the end of the night. They made our wedding reception go smoothly so that me and my husband could enjoy our night. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was. Choosing to have our wedding reception at the Brix was the best decision we made. It is a gorgeous venue with truly wonderful owners who made our wedding day the best day of our lives.

We are so happy that we chose to get married at the Brix! We loved the venue and owners so much that booked our wedding there before the floor was laid and before they had hosted a single wedding! There are numerous things we loved about having our wedding there, but most importantly we felt the Brix enabled us to have the wedding WE wanted. We feel the venue speaks for itself...exposed brick, beautiful long wooden tables, lots of natural light, tons of spots outside to take photos etc. For us, the more remarkable and impactful thing about the Brix is their true dedication to their couples that comes through in their policies and in every interaction. Some highlights: Brix worked with us to coordinate early entrance to the bridal suite so my bridesmaids and I could relax in the morning, they allowed us to honor our traditions by bringing in home made cookies and desserts, they allowed our alcohol pick up to be the next day when the supplier announced on our wedding day that they couldn’t make it out that evening as promised, they were always quick to respond to every email and made us feel very comfortable leading up to and on the day of our wedding. The list could go on! We recommend the Brix to any couple who wants a gorgeous venue and a partner invested in their happiness!

Rob and Tone were so great to work with. They answered all of our questions and gave us a couple of tours of the venue as the construction on the space progressed. They eased our nerves about booking a space before it was done and the finished space blew us away. One of the things we loved about them was that there were no hidden fees or upgrades we had to account for. Everything is upfront and there isn’t anything snuck in. The space is beautiful. Everything from the exposed bricks, the tables, the chairs, the bridal suite, and more was beyond our expectations.The Brix is so beautiful on its own it doesn't need much decorations to be a stunning wedding. The Industria specifically has beautiful architectural components that we loved. The huge arch is stunning. Being at the Brix was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend using them.

At that time, we didn't even need the venue to be completed yet to know that this is where we wanted to get married. The exposed brick has the rustic, industrial feel and it being on the Fox River puts the icing on the cake of making the venue even more perfect! We were and still are obsessed with the place. Beyond the beauty of the venue, Tone and Rob are so great to work with and are so sweet. After signing your contract they provide a checklist to you through email which provides suggested vendors. This really helped because we had no idea where to start when it came to vendors. We knew what kind of theme and food we wanted, we just didn't know where to start in finding them! Besides that, Rob and Tone are literally there with you throughout the way which was greatly appreciated. If you have a question, they're there to answer your email within a few hours or less of you emailing them. They definitely helped make the process smoother for us and helped us stay calm.

Rob and Tone not only accommodated all of our questions and needs throughout the planning process, but were around on the big day to help everything run smoothly.

The day of our wedding Rob and Tone were out of town so their son Robby took over and he was also so wonderful! I absolutely love this venue and would recommend it to anyone looking for unique spot for their wedding!

Venue of my dreams!This venue is beyond amazing and made my wedding dreams come true from the start! It has a great atmosphere with touches of rustic, touches of modern, touches of elegant and they all blend so well together to fit everyones styles! We booked with them just after the floors were poured and only the original walls were up; no bathroom no bar no bridal suite no kitchen were yet constructed. But Rob and Tone were so descriptive and confident in what the venue was going to be that i took full trust in them to give the venue the full potential it had to be an amazing venue and they did that and more! They are so great to work with and were there any time i had a crazy question or any of the thousands of times i asked to drive up there just to see the venue as it was getting finished or to show another person the amazing venue we were going to get married at. 100% highly recommend this amazing beyond beautiful unique venue to anyone looking for a place giving you freedom to make your wedding dreams come true!

Absolutely loved the BRIX. The communication and helpfulness of the staff was wonderful. I enjoyed that I was able to bring in my own vendors and customize our day the way we wanted it. The venue itself is beautiful and was big enough for our wedding of 280 people.

Wow! I don't even know where to start.From the moment we stepped into The Brix, we knew this was it. The venue is stunning. We didn't have to decorate much because it's beautiful on it's own. Rob and Tone were a dream to work with. The first time we met them, it was clear that they were going to make everything as easy as possible. They're incredibly kind and they really are there for you every single step of the way.- The venue allows you to hire any vendors of your choice (which is a HUGE plus).- The bar is awesome and makes for an easy set up.- The kitchen is huge and has everything that any caterer would need.- The transition from ceremony to reception was SO fast and seamless.- Their tables are stunning. One of my biggest things when looking at venues was that I did not want linens and circle tables. The Brix provides beautiful, wooden handmade tables.- There are multiple hotels about 5 minutes away. Once of which provides a shuttle to and from the venue.All of our vendors loved The Brix as much as we did and all said they hope to work there again!We looked at 20+ venues in the Chicagoland area. Nothing compares to The Brix. The uniqueness, the price, the flexibility, the freedom of vendor choices, the owners - I can't recommend it enough.Thank you, Rob & Tone, for making our day perfect. I'd throw a party here any day!

The Brix is the best! It combined all the best parts of other venues we looked at - beautiful exposed brick, onsite ceremony location, BYO bar, comfortable bridal suite w/private bathroom, gorgeous photo spots along the river, plenty of space for our 215 guests, tables-chairs-lighting-sound-photo booth all included, free parking, the flexibility to bring in your vendors without being stuck to a list - and all for much cheaper than similar venues in the city. Plus, Rob and Tone are fantastic to work with and really help to make the wedding planning process as easy as possible through responsive emails, great FAQs, \"Brix Talks\" that allow couple to ask questions and hear best practices from other weddings, and providing their own recommendations for tried-and-true vendors. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the space was and everything ran so smoothly on our wedding day. Highly, highly recommend :)

Having our wedding at the Brix was a dream come true! We found and booked the venue right away because it was exactly what we wanted. When we showed up on the day of the wedding we had all the freedom to set it up the way we wanted. It was such a blessing to have the freedom to bring in our own catering and bar. Rob, Tone and their son helped make our day stress free and fun! We are so thankful for this family! They helped bring us the wedding of our dreams.

If you’re able to book a date with The Brix - do it!!! I am so incredibly thankful that I was able to have my wedding at The Brix. Rob and Tone are so passionate about their venue and it really shows. We received a ton of complements about how beautiful our venue was and how smoothly our wedding went. Their “Brix Talks” sessions are available to help couples with FAQ’s, they’re very responsive to questions as you plan your day, and they provided countless helpful suggestions throughout the process. Thank you so much, Rob and Tone, for making our dream wedding come true!

Rob and Tone are the best! They are such down-to-earth owners who love what they do. They are very responsive and accommodating to requests. Whenever I had a question, they would respond to my inquiries right away regardless of what time it was.The first time I saw The Brix, it was still in construction. It did not take me long to book it after seeing other venues. I already knew it was my venue the first time I saw it but I had to reassure myself by checking others. Rest assured, the other venues did not even stand a chance. The Brix is gorgeous and seeing it when it was completed was a unique experience that not everyone is lucky to have. For that, I'm grateful.All of our guests were in awe with how gorgeous the venue was. I could not stop hearing compliments. As a bride who went down to crazy spreadsheet details for this wedding, it felt great to hear nothing but nice things about my special day.Having a unique space for yourself all day, customized to your own liking, while getting the attention and accommodation from the owners are pretty much the top things a bride needs. If you're looking for a wedding venue, stop by The Brix and/or talk to Tone/Rob. You'll know right away. Bride-to-bride, trust me. I had my fairytale wedding thanks to my wedding vendors. Together, they all made my dreams come true and The Brix is where it all happened. Needless to say, I was a very happy bride.

The BRIX and the entire staff was more than we could have asked or dreamed about. Not only is the space stunning in itself, almost no need for decorations, but they allowed us the freedom to choose our own caterer, a huge way for us to save money. Their staff went above and beyond, they reached out to me repeatedly throughout the entire wedding planning process to ensure that my wedding day would go by smoothly. They were very detail oriented and helpful along the way. They truly care about each couple and want to make their day perfect.

We got married on May 10, 2019 and working with The Brix was the best decision we could have made! We toured the venue while it was still under construction but even then knew it was the perfect place for us to host our wedding reception. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating and just all around easy to work with. It's so awesome to have such a unique venue so close by. It was awesome to have heard so many guests gushing compliments about the space. We are still more than thrilled with our decision to use this venue!

We highly recommend the BRIX as a wedding venue, you will not be disappointed in the least! At first it was intimidating thinking we had to bring in all the vendors and decor and what not but in reality it saved us a TON of money and let us choose what was important to us and what we didn't need. It was also SUPER easy and cheap to decorate such a large place because the venue is already BEAUTIFUL and super trendy, all of our guests were raving about how cool the venue was and we did not need a ton of decor! Also, Rob and Tone are great to work with and very responsive! They truly care about making the wedding of your dreams possible and will help in any way they can! The bridal suite was perfect for me and my 7 bridesmaids to get ready in all day and we were even able to do the rehearsal dinner at the venue and set up the night before which was great. They provide vendor lists which are very helpful and host informative sessions to better understand the wedding process which helped a TON! Lastly, the venue makes for incredible pictures, just check out their instagram!

The Brix is such a beautiful, unique venue but where I truly believe the Brix stands out amongst the other Chicagoland wedding venues is in the way you're able to do your wedding your way and in return save money. They also do everything they can to make your day special for you. You’re able to create a wedding within your budget because of the Brix being BYO. Being able to pick our own vendors in the alcohol and food department in particular saved us thousands. We had a guest count of 200 and because we were able to bring in our own alcohol, we paid nowhere near what we were quoted at other venues. You can do minimal decor to save even more because the venue is just so gorgeous on it’s own! You don’t have to spend money on transportation to get the couple and bridal party to a different location for pictures, all you have to do is step outside the venue. Just outside of the Brix is the Fox River with nature surrounding it in all it’s glory. If you have your ceremony at the Brix (highly recommend), take advantage of the bridal suite! Saved us money on having to rent a space for the bridesmaids and I to get ready in. The big long windows in the Brix make it prime for photography since there’s plenty of natural light. My favorite pictures were taken inside of the Brix so if by chance your wedding day rains, don't panic! The venue is so gorgeous, you'll be sure to love your photos. It’s small things like this you wouldn’t even think of that makes the Brix so special. Even down to the sound system and dance floor lighting that comes with the Brix! There are so many ways to save and get the wedding of your dreams. I had so many guest rave about the venue saying they’ve never been to a place like that before. Rob and Tone are always timely when getting back to any questions we had and helpful when we were in need of different things for our wedding. I cannot recommend the Brix enough! You will love it!

Beautiful space for a picture perfect wedding or event! We booked the Brix before they were done renovating and we are incredibly impressed with how Rob and Tone's vision came to life. Their attention to detail is obvious and their commitment to their clients is amazing. You can bring in any vendor you'd like but they also provide a great vendor list to give you some options and a place to start. They answered any and every question and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. If you want a gorgeous space, flexibility in vendors, and great partners in planning, look no further than The BRIX!

Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the space was and how seamless everything transitioned from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. We also appreciated being able to bring in our own vendors for catering, DJ, flowers, etc. to really make our wedding exactly what we wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend the BRIX to anyone!

My son's wedding was at the Brix this weekend and it was outstanding. We had the ceremony and the reception there and it was just all so beautiful. The venue is stunning with beautiful lighting, tables, windows, and brickwork.The Photo Booth was fun for everyone! Everything moved from ceremony to cocktails, to dinner seamlessly. The owners were onsite the entire time making sure everything ran smoothly - they are so welcoming, easy to work with, and kind. We saved money on everything by not having to use certain caterers, DJ's, or bartenders (though we did go with the bartenders the Brix recommended and they were wonderful) We received so many compliments on the venue and how beautiful it was. If you have a chance to have your wedding or event here - go for it! You will not regret it!

As wedding photographers ourselves, finding a venue that fit our personalities and vision was really important to us. When we came across The Brix online, we knew we had found something really cool. When we saw the venue for the first time, it was still being finished and, even then, it was beautiful and we could tell by hearing their vision for the space that it was going to be incredible. Our family and guests raved about how beautiful everything was and that they had never been to a wedding space like it. Aside from the gorgeous venue space, Rob and Tone are two of the coolest people we have met in the wedding industry. They care so much about their couples and the other vendors there for the day. Tone is seriously the sweetest and was such a big help and calming presence the day of. Rob was always so quick to respond to absolutely any question we had throughout the entire process, and was always very thorough in his responses. We couldn't have imagined a better team to help make our day happen. Words can't explain our gratitude towards Rob and Tone. Would highly, highly recommend The Brix to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful venue with staff who cares about the couples, families, and guests.

Rob and Tone were SOOO helpful and accommodating, I felt like they were personally invested in making our wedding day perfect. They were always easy to communicate with and were extremely flexible with letting us stop by the venue for various reasons during the planning phase. Have your wedding at the Brix!

This venue made our wedding much less stressful. We did minimal decor because the whole venue was beautiful at every angle. Rob and his wife went above and beyond. It was so easy for guests to have the ceremony/cocktails/reception at one place. We received many compliments in the weeks following the wedding of how great the venue was. I 100% recommend.
