About

On WeddingWire since 2018

The Cracker Factory is a beautifully renovated industrial factory located in Geneva, New York. Built in the early 1900s, the factory was the first home to cutlery manufacturer Geneva Forge. Since 2010, the second-floor gallery event space has been used for glamorous art shows, concerts, weddings, and more. Couples have the opportunity to add to the building's esteemed history and create a once-in-a-lifetime memory that can be cherished for many years to come.

Facilities and Capacity

The 6,000-square-foot gallery space is ideal for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsal dinners. Having been refurbished to highlight the structure's industrial beauty, the gallery features glossy hardwood flooring, grand whitewashed columns, overhead wooden beams, and more. During daytime celebrations, the gallery's large windows fill the space with natural light and cast sweeping relations along the floor. As the celebrations run into the night, the space is warmly lit up with an array of small lights that add a personal and intimate touch to any special occasion. The gallery can be configured in a variety of ways and, due to its natural color scheme, can be transformed and decorated to best suit each couple's preferred style and design. The event space can accommodate up to 376 guests and also features a fully equipped bar, caterer's kitchen, and wheelchair-friendly accessibility. For more information regarding the gallery event space, couples can contact the building's professional and helpful staff through their official website or email.

Amazing venue!

The Cracker Factory exceeded every one of our expectations. They were incredibly professional, organized and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. It’s a very unique style, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how it was even cooler than we described. Not to mention, everyone in town couldn’t help but tell us how great Amy, Ashley and Brandon were to work with. We couldn’t recommend The Cracker Factory more!

Best Day of My Life

The Cracker Factory was amazing! From setting up the rehearsal dinner, to packaging all decorations after the wedding, they were truly amazing! Every single one of our guests were amazed at the attention, quality of professionalism, and the personality of every single employee. Not to mention, the venu itself is absolutely stunning. We can not thank The Cracker Factory enough for making our special day the most beautiful memory that we have.

Breathtaking!

My husband and I got married at the Cracker Factory in June and we seriously could not recommend it more!

Firstly, Amy is such an amazing owner and truly a pleasure to work/plan with! She was there anytime I emailed her to ask her a question, or even willing to hop on a phone call. She provided us with a list of recommend vendors (which helped immensely since we are from out of town), helped us decide what speciality drinks to choose, created multiple floor plans for us to choose for our reception, figure out how to hang our bar sign, etc. Amy really helped to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly without a hitch. She checked us multiple times throughout the process, on our wedding day, and even checked in a few weeks after!

Second, I think the pictures speak for themselves regarding the venue space. It is absolutely breathtaking! Our guests are still talking about it to this day. My husband and I were looking for a venue that has a beautiful exterior, as well as an interior, since we chose to have our ceremony indoors. We both have very different styles, but the Cracker Factory blends industrial modern (my style) with antique rustic charm (my husbands). In the end, we were both were very happy! Additionally, we were looking for a space where we did not have to spend a ton of money, or put in a ton of effort, in regard to decor because the space itself provided that.

The venue provided so many different opportunities for different photos in great natural lighting as well. Outside with the vine covered wall, back in the corner with the old cement and brick, the front of the building with the fire escape, in front of the elevator, upstairs on the third floor. The variety in settings in all our photos is stunning!

We would get married there 1,000x over if we could!
