Where do we begin, we were supposed to have our wedding in April of 2020 but then Covid happened, the team at Factoria (Sarah, Megan, and Brie) were very responsive and understanding of the situation so we postponed everything. Anyone who has planned a wedding can imagine how difficult it was to reschedule a wedding with all the moving parts associated with it (venue, vendors, guest count, etc.). We cannot thank them enough for their flexibility during this time, they were always responsive and helped make it as painless as possible. We finally picked a day for 2021 and when that day came the team did an amazing job to make sure the day was perfect for us. Chef Mike is most definitely one of the best chefs around and he did not disappoint the day of the wedding. The people are what make this venue what it is, the views are great and the space is beautiful but without Chef Mike, Megan, Brie and Sarah our wedding day would not have been what it was. It was a bumpy ride due to the pandemic but we can't say enough about how great our experience was with Factoria! We could probably write a couple more paragraphs but I’ll just finish by saying that I would highly recommend this team/venue to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

Factoria is a hidden gemstone on the Hudson River. Its ambiance cannot be matched. We immediately fell in love with the view and atmosphere during our first visit. The Space is such a unique venue, the exposed brick, industrial black piping and retro bar are not to be overlooked. The restaurant, brewery, and arcade are a huge bonus. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at River Outpost and our bridal party LOVED it! We all played games and had an absolute blast. To us it was an easy decision to choose to have our wedding here. The vibe was right up our alley and we knew our guests would find this place just as magical. Aside from its proximity to the Hudson River, it is also close to a few hotels which made accommodations for our guests even easier! Factoria also only hosts one wedding per day, which made us feel even more special because we weren’t sharing our Chef or Coordinator with anyone else on our big day.
Speaking of Coordinators, Megan is an absolute ROCKSTAR! She is also one of the major factors on why we chose to get married at Factoria. She was so organized and thorough from start to finish. She would answer all of our questions promptly, made herself available to meet either in person or by phone and worked with us to make our day perfect. On our wedding day she was calm, collected and kept everything moving and under control seamlessly. If we were stressed, she was fixing it. There was never a problem she couldn’t solve or a family dynamic she couldn’t navigate. The best part is you never saw her sweat it, she’s the greatest. The entire staff at Factoria made us feel so welcomed and cared for the day of our wedding. Everyone was so friendly and if you needed something didn’t hesitate to assist in any way they could.
THE FOOD. THE FOOD. THE FOOD. I think we’ll hear about how good the food was at our wedding for the rest of our lives. It’s the best feeling ever. Chef Mike is a master at his craft. We had come to eat at River Outpost prior but once we had our food tasting in March we KNEW our wedding was going to be out of this world. If we had to choose a third reason why we booked Factoria, it’s Chef Mike. The way he and his team care about the food and drinks being made and served here is top tier. Not to mention, he is the most kind and down to earth dude who just loves to have a good time. It was so important to us for our guests to love our food at our wedding, and they delivered a million times over.
Our guests kept asking us how we found this place and we kept just saying, ‘Google?’ We hope other couples read this review and feel inspired to visit Factoria. This venue has EVERYTHING, beautiful location, exceptional staff and out of this world food. We can’t wait to visit as a married couple and reminisce about our wedding with the people who helped make it happen.

Megan Pomarico and her staff of highly skilled professionals were perfection. I can’t say anything else. Megan anticipated every need, every possible glitch and graciously handled our suggestions ( some nutty ) with largesse! The food was top rate- I had heard that the chef was wonderful and he really pulled through. Hors d'oeuvres and delicious wines were served generously and constantly.
Her staff was first rate. They worked hard, were fun and personable and kept everyone happy all night long.
I was a nervous wreck and should’ve just relaxed, because Megan made everything work seamlessly.
A top-notch venue.
