    THE best!!

    The most beautiful, non-traditional venue we have ever seen, which was perfect for our wedding reception! The whole team was so friendly and attentive from our very first meeting. They truly felt like our friends throughout the whole process. They listened to our visions and went above and beyond to help us create such a beautiful, memorable, one-of-a-kind experience. We are so grateful for everything they did for us and we cannot recommend them enough. The Venues at The Factory will have your guests raving about your wedding long after the day is done!

    The best wedding venue in New Hampshire!!!!

    This wedding venue was nothing short of extraordinary. This is not your typical wedding venue—in the best way possible. They offer an incredible range of coordination services that made hiring a separate wedding planner completely unnecessary. Their team truly thinks of everything. On top of that, they provide an amazing selection of furniture, tables, chairs, and décor pieces that you would normally need to rent from outside vendors. It saved us so much time, money, and stress. The space itself is absolutely stunning and really speaks for itself. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The staff were unbelievably kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best weekend imaginable. Their support allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the Venues and the wonderful staff. The entire experience was seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable. We will absolutely be looking to use this venue again for future events, and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

    THE BEST WEDDING VENUE

    Truly can’t imagine getting married anywhere else, they took my vision to the next level. Created custom elements for me to enhance my day. Everything I wanted they delivered and if they couldn’t they gave me something better instead. So communicative and creative. There are endless possibilities in this space to make your vision come to life. The perfect day. I work in the industry and can tell you this is one of the best venues I’ve been to.

    The best day ever!

    We had an outstanding experience working with Marlana and Molly at The Venues at The Factory on Willow for our wedding. Their communication was exceptional—prompt, clear, and proactive. They provided us with a comprehensive planning spreadsheet that streamlined the entire process, ensuring that every detail was meticulously organized. The venue itself is breathtaking, featuring expansive event spaces and picturesque photo locations, perfect for capturing special moments. Marlana and Molly went above and beyond, managing both the setup and takedown within our tight timeframe, while also ensuring that our day unfolded seamlessly. From the initial planning stages to the final event execution, the team at The Factory demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a genuine commitment to making our wedding day flawless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    Perfect!

    Amazing. The experience was fantastic and the girls had my back every step of the way. They thought of so many details I never would have even considered. They were so attentive to everything I needed and had so many different ideas to help guide me through the whole thing.
