The Price

No, the price is not a typo.

The average wedding here, $7,000 to $15,000 all in. That is the entire wedding. Venue, ceremony, linens, bar package, catering, DJ, florals, the whole thing. You will not find that in many other places, and you do not have to leave town to get it.

Your wedding could be lower or higher depending on what you add on and the vendors you choose. We will tell you exactly what our venue costs, in writing, before you book.

Three reasons the math works.

01

We are downtown, not in a city we are not.

Marion has lower real estate, labor, and operating costs than the markets that price weddings into the high five figures. We do not pretend to be somewhere we are not, and we do not mark up the rental to chase numbers from a different zip code. The price is the price.

02

We are owner-operated, not catering-operated.

Most wedding venues are run by large catering companies that build their margins into mandatory food and beverage minimums. We are run by the people who own the building, which means our pricing is not engineered to subsidize anyone else's business model.

03

You can bring your own caterer.

Most venues lock you into one caterer with a minimum spend of $80 to $120 per guest. We let you choose. Our partner restaurant Bucci's Italian Scratch Kitchen, right here in Marion, is one option. Bringing in any licensed caterer of your choice is another. That single decision is often where the biggest savings come from.

The Town

Get married in your own downtown.

The coffee shop where you take your morning walk. The streets you grew up on. The brick buildings you have watched come back to life. Your wedding day belongs in the place that is already yours. Hair and makeup at home, photos on the streets you know by heart, the reception ten minutes from your front door, and an after-party at the bar around the corner. No hotels for you. No long drive home. No wedding weekend spent away from the dog.

And for your out-of-town guests, downtown Marion has everything they need within walking distance. Hotels, Airbnbs, restaurants, and rehearsal-dinner spots, all close to the venue.

The venue you have been hoping someone would open here is already open.

The Venues

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

Brickyard on Main

A single floor that flows.

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. The whole day breathes together on one floor, with the courtyard as the heart of it.

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.

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 in Passenger + Rail Co. if the bride wants it to. The architecture gives the day natural acts. 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.

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.
