I was attending a wedding at The armory in South Bend, Indiana, and the wedding party was provided with a complimentary happy hour drink. Around 7:30 PM, I went to the bar to receive mine, but the bartender acted as though giving me the drink was coming out of her own pocket. She told me that someone else should have already gotten it for me instead of simply honoring what was included for the wedding guests. As a member of the wedding party, I should have received the same complimentary drink as everyone else. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and it left a poor impression of the customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend using this venue if this is how guests are treated. Customer service is an important part of any event, especially a wedding, and unfortunately this experience fell well below expectations. read more

The Brick is a great venue for hosting events. I've been here several times for several occasions like wedding ceremonies and proms. If you plan on hosting over 100+ people, space might become an issue, as it's a little smaller than other venues. There's plenty of staff on duty and it's a beautiful atmosphere. It's costly to book, but it's worth it. It's located right off the St. Joseph river! read more

We had our wedding ceremony (in the loft area) and reception (main floor & bar) here on January 1, 2016. We planned our wedding from Los Angeles and Keith was amazing throughout the whole process. We rented the tables, chairs, and linens from The Brick--it was all beautiful! The venue was a reasonable price. Everything was laid out very clearly in the contract and the FAQs. Anything I needed help with, Keith was available by e-mail and responded very quickly. Our vendors were easily able to access the venue to set up catering (The Landing) and the cake (C'est La Vie). It was a stress free and beautiful day. I couldn't ask for anything better! Thank you for such a great day/night! read more

Venue was fine but also not in the best part of town.(it's "up and coming") My car window was smashed out while at an event here the other night. If you're going to have a venue in a not so good part of town, you should have security working the parking lot so that things like this do not happen in the future.(after research, we apparently declined security, so I guess that's my bad there) Please note: DO NOT turn down their security for an extra charge, it is needed! I've heard through the grapevine that my experience is actually not uncommon at this venue too. Will not be returning or recommending The Brick ever again. It's actually quite ironic that a brick is what was used to break the window in of my car. To add to this, if you're looking for a similar type venue in South Bend, but much nicer, check out The Armory. read more

I attended a music night here, all jazz. Staff was friendly, drinks were awesome, they had a food truck (Waffles) and the venue was awesome. we had a great time. read more

The Brick - we had a great night - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Attended a beautiful wedding here. It is an empty "industrial" space upon which to build an event. Classy lighting for darkened events. Fancy lady's restroom was "fun". We did not use the two loft areas. Parking was okay but a long walk to front doors. Nice outdoor cafe area for smokers. Floors are cement. I did not like the clear "bamboo" plastic chairs which I'm sure make clean-up a breeze but don't feel very sturdy for the "sitters". The bar was a bit of a walk away from the hall/dance floor--would have been nice to have it moved into and a part of the festivities. (but also kept the cash bar stuff OUT of the event so it's a preference thing). I would highly recommend this venue--it's a non-churchy, non-hotely "neutral" space for a good time. I was an attendee, not a planner so can't speak to those details. read more

Nice hall to rent for parties. I went there for a benefit that my friend threw. It had ample space and a nice bar off to the side. They also have outdoor seating for the colder months. read more

Great venue for music. Not nearly enough seating however. Seems like they could do more with the space. Love the open jams! Played there a few times. Good listening crowd. read more

The absolute BEST and most beautiful venue in South Bend not just because of the space but the people!! KEITH and DAVE are a gift!! I can not thank them enough for the service and kindness of these two that exceeds the highest levels. It can get stressful trying to plan, maintain and enjoy a big event such as the one I had but these two definitely relieved much of it with their service, responsiveness, and overall good hearts and reminders to just relax and enjoy myself. Keith and Dave, THANK YOU! I recommend this place and people to any and everyone who not only need a amazing space but also the best and excellent customer service in business!! read more

We have had the opportunity to work with both Corey & Keith at the Brick and every time has been a great experience!

The Brick was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. My husband and I planned our wedding from Upstate New York and the manager, Keith, was so helpful and patient. The gorgeous industrial design on the building's interior and exterior made decorating a breeze and really reflects my personal style. Our friends and family traveled from all over the country and adored the space as well. I loved the flexibility of getting to pick our own vendors for our wedding, the affordability of the rental, and we used the in house speaker system to play Spotify and it worked very well! The Brick made our wedding dreams come true and 2 months later we are still day dreaming about how gorgeous it was! read more

This is a beautiful venue, just beautiful. When there are not events at The Brick they open the bar up for drinking. I was here on one of these nights. Sitting on the patio, drinking with friends is a real treat. read more

We just had my daughter's wedding there this weekend and cannot say enough about the Brick and Keith, the owner. It was such an amazing venue, and everyone commented on how great the bartenders were and how amazing the venue was. You will not be disappointed if you have your event here. Keith is amazing to work with. read more

Word of mouth is getting around, great venue, but the manager is not good at his job. He is very rude, can't communicate, not suited to work with people. He will be the black mark on your special day. read more

My granddaughter, Suellen Zebell, and her husband, Jonathan, had their wedding reception here on Nov. 23rd...what a wonderful site! Plenty of space for a reception, and reasonably priced to boot! Everyone commented on how beautiful and spacious this facility was, and I would highly recommend this place for any big event in your life! read more

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Brick a few weeks ago. The first time I walked into The Brick, I knew that it was going to be where I wanted to have my wedding. I contacted Keith at the Brick, and he responded right away. Throughout the entire planning process of the wedding, Keith was just an email away to answer any questions I had. The best part is that on Monday's they are open to the public. Which means I was able to go in weekly and measure the space, look around, and take my wedding planners there so they could see the space. In addition to Keith, there was also Dave( the best bartender in the world). Dave was at the Brick every time I was there. He walked us around the space, explained the history of the building, let me see the event chairs, and was just all around helpful. Keith and Dave take great care of the building, and we definitely recommend booking an event there! read more

My husband and I did not look at any other venues; we both knew we wanted our ceremony and reception at The Brick. We got married this past weekend and the venue was absolutely perfect, and I feel like that's even an understatement. Everything was beautiful. Throughout the whole night, and even after, we received countless compliments on our choice of venue. Keith was so easy to work with. He answered all of my questions promptly and never once made me feel like I was bothering him. The bartenders for the wedding were incredibly kind and accommodating. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you for helping make our day perfect! read more
