Kennedy and David celebrated their wedding day among the best friends and family anyone could ask for, and what a day!
A bit of a chilly day and rain didn't stop this day!

We absolutely love the other venue in our family- The Loft on Broadway, located a few minutes from us in the Third Ward. We know that The Factory may not work for everyone, and we are thrilled that we can also offer this space.
The Loft features space for up to 200 seated or up to 249 people for a cocktail-style reception or if inviting additional guests after dinner!
The new HUGE onsite suite to get ready is almost complete on the 2nd floor- if you know the size of the suites at The Factory- you know we go big!
The suite is also the perfect space to host a bridal shower, baby shower, or any other gathering up to 49 people. The best part- you may cater in or bring your own food while celebrating! There is no rental fee for a bridal or baby shower (just a small beverage minimum) which makes the 2nd floor suite one of the best spaces to hold those intimate events!
Reach out to [email protected] for more info on holding your wedding or event at The Loft or for the 2nd floor space for a smaller event!

One of the best downtown Milwaukee area venues to host your wedding day!
Capacity 249 or 200 seated or 160 with onsite ceremony!
Most inviting Lounge Space / Crystal Chandeliers / Cream City Brick
HUGE onsite suite!
2nd Floor perfect for a Bridal Shower up to 49 guests!
