Bride and groom in the courtyard at Brickyard on Main in downtown Marion, Ohio

You don't have to drive to Columbus to get married somewhere that looks like this.

Exposed brick, a real bar and a courtyard with a fire feature — in downtown Marion, for what the barn down the road charges for a room and a folding table.

  • Nothing hidden — the rental is the rental

Prices are the venue rental. Catering is yours to choose, which is where most couples save the most. Every number goes in writing before you book.

The barn down the road charges the same. You just get less.

Exposed brick, a real bar, a courtyard with a fire feature, dressing rooms with backlit mirrors, and a downtown your guests can walk. For what a field, a hall, or a lodge asks for a room and a folding table.

Bring your own caterer

This is where the money actually is.

Most venues lock you into their in-house caterer at $80 to $120 per guest. At 120 guests that is $9,600 to $14,400, and you have no say in it.

We do not do that. Bring any licensed, insured caterer — Bucci's Italian Scratch Kitchen right here in Marion, a barbecue truck, your aunt's favorite restaurant. Couples routinely land in the $25 to $45 per guest range. On a 120-guest wedding that is several thousand dollars that stays yours.

Owner-operated, not catering-operated. That is the whole reason the price works.

The Venues

Two urban-style venues in a region full of barns.

Brickyard on Main

A single floor that flows.

Choose this one if you have a bigger guest list and you want the courtyard, the fire feature and the alley photos.

A historic brick building where the entire wedding day moves between connected spaces without ever changing floors. The ceremony happens in the courtyard around the fire feature, with brick walls, turf, and bistro lights strung overhead. The glass garage door lifts to open the main room into the courtyard, so cocktail hour flows between the bar and the courtyard without anyone being asked to move. The reception and dance floor live in the main room, steps from the bar and the courtyard. The alley off the courtyard turns into its own photo set after dark: string lights, sparklers, the guest moments couples actually frame for their walls.

This is the venue for the wedding where everyone you love is close enough to find at any moment.

Urban501

A wedding that unfolds across two floors.

Choose this one if you are under 125 guests and you want a bar, a ballroom and a courtyard that feel like three different worlds.

A two-floor historic building where the day reveals itself as guests move through the space. Cocktail hour happens downstairs in Passenger + Rail Co., around a dark wood bar, bookcase-lined walls, and a courtyard with black rail cars and a neon sign that reads "Long Live The Love". The ceremony and reception move upstairs to a ballroom with woodwork and natural light from the second-floor windows, or the whole day can live downstairs if you want it to. Every photo lives in one of three worlds: the courtyard, Passenger + Rail Co., and the ballroom.

This is the venue for the wedding where you want the day to feel like a place you discovered, not a room you booked.

Getting Here

Closer than the barn you were considering.

Downtown Marion, not a gravel road forty minutes past the last gas station. Your guests type one address into their phone, park for free, and walk to everything — the venue, dinner the night before, the bar afterward, their hotel.

Urban501 has a free onsite lot. Brickyard uses the public lot diagonally behind the building — 249 free spaces within two blocks. Hotels, Airbnbs and restaurants are all walkable, and there is a discounted block at My Place Hotel less than five miles out.

Casey, venue manager at Brickyard on Main and Urban501

The Person

I'm Casey. I run the venues.

I'm your go-to person at Brickyard on Main and Urban501, which means I am the one who writes you back, shows you around, and is your point of contact. My goal is to make the planning process easy so the wedding day can be the fun part.

I am not a coordinator from a catering company. I am not a booking agent. I am the manager, the host, and the person who will remember that you wanted your grandmother to have a chair near the fire feature because she gets cold.

If you tour with me, we will have coffee. Or a beer. Hey, maybe both. I will tell you what is and is not included before you ask. I will tell you what other brides have done in each space and what worked. And if it is not the right venue for you, I will say so, because you do not need me to sell you a venue that doesn't fit.

My guess is you came here looking for a beautiful space, the right price, and a venue with real urban character that feels unique. That's the whole reason these venues exist. And yes, you found it in Marion.

If any of this sounds like the kind of venue you have been looking for, come tour with me.

Real weddings. Real brides. Real reviews.
