Joanna B. Sent on 12/19/2023We love The Factoria!!
My husband and I got married and had our reception at The Space at The Factoria in November of 2023. From the moment we toured this venue we knew that it would be perfect for us. The Space has a modern industrial vibe to it against gorgeous views of the Hudson, making the atmosphere feel cozy and intimate, especially in Fall when the leaves are changing. Throughout our process we worked with Megan Pomarico, who was INCREDIBLY helpful and wonderful to work with, making our decision even easier. She was so organized with everything and ALWAYS willing to hop on a call to make sure every single detail leading up to the day was taken care of and as stress free as possible. Megan is SUCH an incredible coordinator and you will not be disappointed!!
Beyond Megan, the rest of the staff at The Factoria were all phenomenal! Chef Mike in particular is a MASTER of what he does, and constantly walked around throughout the night to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and any additional food/dietary restrictions were accommodated. And the family style meal made it so everyone could have a little bit of everything off the menu which was a plus. Every single one of our guests were raving about the food for DAYS and we have Chef Mike and his team to thank for that!!
After the most PERFECT day, Megan and her team made sure everything we left at the venue, including every last bit of leftover food, was packed and ready to be picked up the next morning. My husband already know that The Factoria will forever hold a special place in our heart and we will be coming back all the time. We would recommend this place to anyone!! -

Factoria has it ALL!
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.

The venue was beautiful and picturesque. Service and attention to details was outstanding. The food was delicious, hot and plentiful. A great experience for our son and daughters-in-law. -

Heather B. Sent on 09/12/2022The best choice!
We initially chose the Factoria simply because we live locally and it was very convenient for family and friends (there is even a hotel across the street for out of town guests), but wow, we couldn't have made a better choice. The venue itself is simple but so stunning and the Hudson River/sunset views are to die for. The food was amazing - everyone is still raving about it! Chef Mike certainly outdid himself. And finally, the staff lead, by coordinator Megan, are just phenomenal! The waitstaff and bartenders were professional and efficient (maybe a little too efficient lol). Megan was there to help us set up the day prior (such a super big help to not have to worry about it the morning of). The morning of, my friends and I got ready in the bridal suite and the kitchen staff along with Megan prepared a lovely breakfast and kept the champagne flowing and just generally kept us calm and happy. Megan even printed out some last minute placecards for me when tables shifted due to stupid covid! She was on top of the schedule the entire night (even when we were having a little too much fun to think about it!), and helped everything flow so smoothly. The next morning, Megan even had everything packed up for us to pick up. We seriously can't thank you and your team enough for making our day so awesome! -

We just booked our venue here for October of 2021. We worked with Sarah and she has been amazing so far. As soon as my fiancé and I walked into the Space at Factoria, we knew this was the venue! I'm so excited and I can't wait to get married here. -

Shayla T. Sent on 09/13/2021Unique venue right on the Hudson
When my now husband and I pulled into the driveway, he saw the octopus made of beer kegs and said, "this is it!" Don't get the wrong idea, it's not a sloppy venue. The space is beautiful, but it has an edge and funkiness to it that makes it unlike any other wedding venue. It has exposed brick walls and metal fixtures giving an industrial vibe, and big windows with sweeping views of the Hudson so that it's not too dark. The Factoria has three spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and your wedding will be the only one held on that day. We had our entire wedding on site. Sarah, Megan, and Chef Mike were great for working with my coordinators to bring our vision to life on the day of, and were responsive leading up to the day from room set up to menu choice. One aspect my guests loved was the food and it's rare to get good wedding food. Everyone loved the lazy Susan family style meal and being able to choose exactly what they wanted and to request more; the charred broccoli was a big hit. It's also great that the Factoria's surroundings are so picturesque. You can snap photos inside, on their balcony, or outside on the grounds of Charles Point.
I highly recommend the Factoria for your wedding, especially if you aren't looking for a cookie cutter venue.

The perfect atmosphere!
My wife and I have a ton of great things we can say about about this place, though what stood out the most for us was the level of care and attention provided by our coordinating crew and staff in charge of our wedding. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier to have chosen such an amazing venue with an absolutely breathtaking view of the Hudson valley. We wish to thank Megan, Sarah, and Brianne for always being on top of everything from the very moment we began our journey and up till the very last second of our special day here. We also wish to thank our head chef Mike and his crew for cooking up a truly delicious ensemble of tasty foods. We can’t wait to be back here for our anniversary! -

Contemplate no more - you found the right venue here
Sarah, Brianne, Megan, Chef Mike, and the rest of the staff were accommodating and sincere. We really struggled as a couple to organize a wedding during COVID but the superstar team went above and beyond to make us feel at ease by always promptly answering our questions and taking care of everything they could on the day of our wedding. The view of the Hudson was the first selling point and customer service sealed the deal! -

Ashley Sent on 11/12/2021The perfect place
After our first tour of the space, my husband and I fell in love. The views are amazing and the building is beautiful. The staff stuck with us as we had to postpone our wedding due to covid. When we went for our wedding menu tasting, we knew we had picked the perfect place. Megan, our event coordinator, held my hand during the whole planning process. Everything big and small, she was there. The whole staff at the Factoria feels like family to us. They are not only professional, but truly kind hearted people. We loved that we got to share our big day with them. Chef Mike and Sarah gave us the most amazing dinner/dessert a bride and groom could ask for on their big day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and how fantastic all the food is. They couldn’t believe everything the building offers as well. With the arcade/bar downstairs, it added an extra flare to our space. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place for our wedding! We will be back celebrating our anniversaries, and enjoying a fun night with family and friends! If i had to do it all over, i’d choose the Factoria time and time again. Our experience was more than we could’ve ever expected. You won’t be disappointed choosing the Factoria for your wedding/event, or even a night out. -

The Factoria is the best place to have your wedding! My husband and I were married there this past July after a one-year covid postponement. The team at The Factoria made the postponement as easy as possible. Throughout the planning process, Sarah, Megan, and her team were available to help us every step of the way. The venue is stunning and not your typical wedding venue. It’s located right on the Hudson River (a selling point for us) and is a renovated factory building (love the history)! The venue space itself features a beautiful cocktail hour space with a stunning bar and exposed brick and the reception area is large, chic, and has a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows for perfect views of the river. Aside from the beauty of the space, the food was some of the best we have ever had (shout out to chef Mike)! From the cocktail hour food to the dinner service, everything was perfect. The dinner is served family-style and is all you can eat, which our guests loved. It’s also worth mentioning that there are so many places to take photos both outside and inside the venue. I just loved the diversity of it all! We had the most perfect day imaginable and it was all thanks to the amazing team at The Factoria! -

I couldn't have asked for a better team, the Factoria nailed it!
Sarah and Megan were the most patient, caring and honest team I could have worked with.
Having had postponed our wedding 3 times due to COVID, we finally made it happen on 7/17/2021. Sarah and Megan were with me every step of the way to make sure everything was how I have imagined, but were also not afraid to provide their feedback and suggestions which I loved because transparency is KEY! All my guests had the time of their lives, the food (Chef Mike was AMAZING!!!!), the drinks, the SPACE left them WOW! My husband and I will forever be thankful of all the work of the team and staff that night. Thank YOU so much! We look forward to working with the Factoria again! -

Nothing short of amazing!
Factoria is everything you could want and more in a venue! I really don’t like traditional wedding halls so when I was searching for a venue, I was looking for specific things. The space had the industrial, exposed brick feeling I was going for at the right price point. I did my wedding in the winter (which I LOVED the Christmas feel at the venue) so there was a slight winter discount. The downstairs brewery/arcade was perfect for the after party and the staff was AMAZING. Sarah helped me feel comfortable throughout the whole process and helped answer the 100 million questions I had, along with Justice and Terrance. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and told me what an amazing space it was and more importantly how exceptional the food was. Chef Mike is down to earth, cares about his customers, and very good at his job. The food was personalized to our taste and we could not have been happier. The venue is set on a beautiful marina and I was excited to take pictures out there initially, but unfortunately it was pouring rain the day of my wedding. I thought that would be a big deal to me however I didn't even notice the weather was bad - the space is so beautiful, the pictures inside were just as nice! The venue was flexible with taking things off/putting stuff on the menu to make it personalized for us and right for our price point. We rented our own chairs because I wasn't a fan of the ones they offered, but that was no big deal, it was important to me! And it allowed me to fit more guests in the area for the ceremony since we had a big wedding. There are bathrooms in the reception area which was nice for guests! And there is a really pretty bridal suite off the reception area which you are able to get ready in and have to yourself when you need a minute to breath during the night! I could go on and on with nothing but good things to say, choose this venue! -

Look no further
The Factoria is a unique and well designed space situated on the Hudson River. We knew this was the place after the first walk through. After choosing Factoria, every question/request was answered promptly by Terrence and Sarah of the event planning team. After meeting Chef Mike during our tasting, we were sure we made the right choice. The day of our wedding was magical. From the moment I walked into the bridal suite to get ready until the after party downstairs, we felt like our wedding was a dream come true. Almost three weeks have gone by and our friends and family are still letting us know it was the best wedding they have ever been to. If you want a venue that is unlike any other, then look no further than “The Space” at Factoria. -

My husband and I got married at The Factoria this past November and we couldn't recommend it more. The events team, Chef Mike and the entire staff was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. They are so talented and made our day so special. If you are looking for a unique venue and not your "cookie cutter" wedding, look no further The Factoria is your spot. Not only is the setting lofty/industrial and beautiful, our guests could not stop raving about the food! The Factoria gets 5 stars in our book and we would recommend it to anyone for their wedding or next big event! -

Sarah Sent on 08/27/2018The Factoria... What a beautiful venue! The renovations to this historic building are exquisite and incredibly unique. From the original brick work to the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River, I do not think you could find a better backdrop for a wedding! Our Chef was present from day one, ensuring we enjoyed his INCREDIBLE menu. Our Event Manager, Mattie was there from start to finish, executing the finest details.
If you are looking for a wedding venue to stand out from the rest, look no further... you will NOT be disappointed! -

Katelyn Sent on 10/20/2017We were lucky to be the very first couple married at Factoria in May 2017. While it was still a construction zone, we signed on the dotted line hoping and praying that Louie and John would pull off the perfect venue in time for our big day. What they ended up creating blew all of our expectations out of the water. Their vision came through and it was more than what we could have hoped for. If you want something different than your standard banquet hall, this is it. It's a unique and still classy setting on the Hudson. The food Stefan created was amazing, and didn't appear like your typical venue food. The bridal suite is gorgeous. The tables have lazy susans on them, which is so cool for family style meals. The dance floor technology is top-of-the-line high-tech. The 2 bar areas are so beautifully done, with special artwork and décor you would never expect. Anything we needed, including the arctic level temperature I requested, was heard loud and clear and given. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful everything was. Love that we will have this memory forever.
