The Wells Lamont Glove Factory was built in 1951, providing new industrial opportunities for the people of Mount Vernon. Since then, it has served as a manufacturing space for several other businesses. In 2020, the Copeland Family purchased the vacant property with a goal of reviving the excitement the building had brought to the town in the fifties. Our family moved to Mount Vernon in 2009. Ever since, we have worked hard to add something special to our unique little town. The Glove Factory was reimagined with each couple in mind to create a breathtaking space for your special day. We would be honored to play a part in your happily ever after!
