How BRICK’s flexible approach to vendors gives you freedom, creativity, and total control in planning your San Diego wedding.
When planning a wedding, one of the most exciting parts is choosing your vendor team; the people who will bring your day to life. But at many venues, you’re limited to a short list of “preferred” or “required” vendors, which can make the planning process feel a little boxed in. That’s why so many couples are actively searching for an open vendor wedding venue in San Diego—and why BRICK proudly offers one of the most flexible policies in town.
Let’s explore what our open vendor policy actually means, how it benefits your big day, and what to expect when hosting your wedding at BRICK in Liberty Station.
What is an Open Vendor Policy?
An open vendor policy means you’re free to hire the vendors you want—not just the ones the venue chooses for you. While some wedding venues in San Diego require you to use in-house catering or a pre-approved DJ list, open vendor venues like BRICK give you the freedom to curate your dream team.
Here’s what couples can typically choose when working with an open vendor venue: caterer or food truck, wedding planner or day-of coordinator, florist or floral designer, DJ or live band, cake designer or dessert vendor, photographer and videographer, and more.
No package constraints. No forced partnerships. Just your event, your way.
Why Couples Love This Flexibility
Today’s couples want to design a wedding that feels like them—not a carbon copy of every other event. An open vendor policy allows you to build your day from the ground up, reflecting your unique personalities, values, and budget.
Here’s why open vendor venues like BRICK are such a hit: Freedom to personalize every element, from food service to ceremony flow. Budget flexibility—you get to choose where to splurge and where to save. The ability to bring in culturally specific or meaningful vendors. And the opportunity to support local businesses or hire people you already know and trust.
BRICK’s Open Vendor Policy: What You Need to Know
At BRICK, vendor flexibility is more than just a policy—it’s part of who we are. We believe your wedding should reflect you, and that starts with giving you the freedom to choose your team.
Here’s how it works: You can hire any professional vendor you’d like. Food trucks and pop-ups are welcome. Outside bartending services are allowed through our BYOB program. Unique setups and creative floor plans are encouraged. All vendors must be licensed and insured for safety and compliance. Need help navigating logistics or finding trusted options?
