Located just minutes south of downtown Fort Worth, BRIK offers clients a versatile space with all the amenities. The charms of this old brick warehouse can be customized to almost any style – vintage, industrial, rustic, modern, simplistic or elaborate. With separate ceremony and reception areas, an outdoor courtyard, and gorgeous dressing rooms, clients can check off all of their venue needs in one space. This 100 year-old building was once a textile mill. During renovations, many of the charming characteristics were preserved, including the original hardwood floors and old scale. The building sat vacant for years until late 2015 when Lynsie acquired the space and set her vision in motion. Today, BRIK is one of the first established businesses in the up and coming neighborhood of Near Southside. This Fort Worth venue offers clients a clean, open space with historic charm and modern amenities, perfect for your wedding and reception or any celebration.
