About
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.

The Wool Factory offers in-house catering overseen by Executive Chef Tucker Yoder. Their talented culinary team will work with you to create your perfect menu, using only the finest local ingredients. You and your guests can also enjoy access to custom event beer production and labeling in the on-site craft brewery.

The Wool Factory is Amazing!
We initially toured the Wool Factory when it was still undergoing renovations and could tell right off the bat that it was going to be something special. We were not disappointed in the least! This is such a stunning place--an urban, industrial building nestled in green hills with streams.
We had such an amazing experience working with Claire and Danielle throughout the entire process (and through COVID). They both were incredibly helpful with any questions or concerns we had and always got back to us quickly. It really put us at ease knowing that we had professionals handling our event, especially given that we were not local to Charlottesville.
The food is incredible! Everything at our tasting was so delicious that we had a difficult time narrowing down what to choose. We also opted to have the desserts made in house instead of having a wedding cake and they were beyond words. If you're a foodie this is your place!
The food is amazing, any space at the venue is breathtaking, and we received so many compliments from people at our wedding about how much they loved everything about it. We're so grateful to have found the Wool Factory for our wedding!The Wool Factory's reply:
Thank you for your thoughtful words! We loved working with you, and are so honored that you chose The Wool Factory! -
