The Ostreum
BRIK Opened its Doors
BRIK Venue opened its doors in April 2016, after sitting vacant for years. Lynsie Blau saw the potential of this 100 year-old former textile mill and set her vision into motion. During renovations, many of the charming characteristics were preserved, including the original hardwood floors and old scale. Today, BRIK is one of the first established businesses in the 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.
Lynsie Blau is the owner and sole founder of BRIK Special Event Venue located just south of downtown Fort Worth, TX. She opened the doors at BRIK in spring of 2016 and hasn’t slowed down since. Her second venue, The Ostreum, opened in 2019 where she serves as co-owner and CEO. The amazing team she has curated ensures that all clients and guests have a stellar experience. which launched in early 2020. Lynsie happily lives in the Near Southside neighborhood in Fort Worth.

Christy was one of our first BRIK brides to book her wedding in 2016! By 2017, she was hired to work part-time on the weekends as an event liaison. After 20 years teaching high school English, she decided it was time for a change and came on full time as the Director of Events, a role that expanded over to The Ostreum when it opened in 2019. She oversees everything from emails, contracts, invoices, final meetings and everything in between. Have a question - ask Christy! Nothing happens in the venues with her knowing. She and her husband live in the Ryan Place neighborhood in Fort Worth.
