The Wool Factory is a unique wedding venue located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Originally The Historic Woolen Mills, a 19th-century textile mill located one mile from downtown Charlottesville, it's now an open, airy event space. However, its clean industrial design has been preserved, combining historic charm with modern convenience.
Facilities and Capacity
The Wool Factory can seat up to 360 guests in over 6,000 square feet of space. It can host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and more. Featuring an artisan-style restaurant, a craft microbrewery, and both a coffee and wine shop, it makes a stylish, distinctive wedding location. A variety of indoor spaces are available, including the spacious Main Hall, which is perfect for larger groups. More intimate gatherings can be held in the smaller Broadcloth and Workshop rooms. Outdoor seating is also available in the Courtyard for up to 180 guests. Additionally, the venue features a dedicated dressing loft and stunning views of the creek. Its minimal design allows you the creative freedom to transform the space to your liking.
