Chicago folks! Get married in MKE at the Factory on Barclay!

We couldn't have picked a more beautiful, open and perfect venue than the Factory on Barclay. We got married 5/13 and people are still messaging me about how stunning the venue was. Sarah was amazing every step of the way from letting us tour multiple times with different family members, owning set up of our day and tear down. We didn't have to worry about a thing besides having our day. The rest of the staff day-of was absolutely awesome as well. Alcohol is provided. Bartenders were awesome and dealt with the party atmosphere of our wedding really well. We had a little scheduling issue where, surprisingly, we were ahead of schedule and Sarah got all vendors to move things ahead 30 mins.

You get so much for your money as well. The space itself is massive and makes the day flow really easily. We did everything on-site, (getting ready, pics, ceremony and reception) and it was the perfect space. Getting ready suites are huge and a big plus.

Recommended vendors usually sway people in the opposite direction because you have a smaller list of caterers to chose from, but it's evident that the staff at the Factory and Sarah have taken the time to curate a list of vendors that make a lot of sense for all different budgets and different experiences.

We wouldn't do a thing differently regarding our venue search. Truly was the most beautiful day. Will add pictures once we get our formal pics from our photographer!

Exactly What We Wanted

We got married here in June 2022 and our guests are still raving about our venue choice. The space is big where you don't feel cramped and have a lot of options to set it up in a way that you want, but still felt warm and inviting. Sarah was fantastic to work with and helped make our day run smoothly. It was so nice to be able to drop things off a few days before the wedding and pick them up the week after; something not many venues we toured would do. The bridal suite was spacious and a great space for our party and immediate family to get ready and keep things in a safe area during the day.

I have professionally been in the wedding industry for the past 10 years. I knew the very first time I saw the movie "Father of the Bride", I wanted to be Franc! To this day, any time I see a movie, tv show, or real wedding- I am that dork that looks at all the details!
In my professional career, I have worked on both the venue side, as well as for couples- designing, planning, and coordinating their day. This knowledge brings together the best of both worlds for couples and vendors at The Factory.
I love working with each couple- learning about their day and seeing it all come to fruition!
