Art Factory offers a truly exceptional and unique experience. Our majestic spaces and customizable decor options, along with your choice of caterer, make for an unforgettable 24-hour experience at the Art Factory. Unlike the typical corporate catering halls, we boast high, open wood-beamed ceilings instead of sheetrock, elegant 1860 hardwood floors instead of carpet, and true movie-set customization instead of a bland, sterile environment with purple lights.
Our grand venues are the most spacious you will see - great for all of your guests on the dance floor at once! High wood-beam ceilings, nineteenth century hardwood floors and grand historic windows serve as the magnificent canvas for your customized decor. Venues are quipped with modern heating and air conditioning systems, expanded inventory and props, new catering equipment, new and renovated bathrooms and more.
As part of every event package we provide and perform most of the functions, tasks, props and decor in-house that you'd ordinarily have to pay extra for, and we have cost-conscious options for the rest.
Our creative team provides bridal and groom suites, ceremony, cocktail and reception space, planning, tables, chairs, lighting, all decor and props (except fresh flowers), setup, cleanup, day-of coordinator and so much more. All for one flat fee with No extra charges. No taxes, gratuities, service fees, decor fees, planning fees . . .
Yes! Your Art Factory team plans your event like we plan a movie production - we customize your event and take the work out of it for you. You start by uploading your ideas and inspiration (Pinterest, etc) to our planning app and then meet with our team of creatives remotely and/or in person who turn your ideas into your bespoke wedding including theme or color schemes, floor plans, tablescapes, props, and timelines. This culminates in a final planning deck that is used to build-out your physical wedding space and guide our operations and day-of team.
Not at all! You are not taking on a project! The planning deck that is generated during your planning process is passed to our operations and day-of team who arrange the tables, chairs and props, decorate the space, coordinator your vendors and greet and guide you and your guests throughout the day.
Not at all. Matter of fact, we advise against it. Why?
Flowers: They are expensive and are going to die the next day. Let our team use combinations of our faux flowers and greens along with our props and candles to deliver your exceptional decor at no extra fee.
Planner/Coordinator: Nobody knows our operation better than we. At 12 weddings per week we're the experts and we've got you!
Save your money for an amazing honeymoon!

You are responsible for food and beverage, photography and DJ/band. Most folks hire our recommended vendors that have performed many successful events here, but you can bring anyone you wish.
One of the best features of the Art Factory program is Options! Each of our venues has a service kitchen equipped with ovens, sink, refrigeration and prep tables.
We suggest you take the time to meet with each of our five in-house caterers to discuss style, price and options over multiple free tastings (it's part of your Experience). Let them compete for your business! Then you can choose one of them, hire your own caterer, or even bring your own food and beverage.
With either option food, beverage and the service thereof as well as dinnerware, glassware, flatware and napkins is by you your caterer.
Absolutely! Each of our venues have their own separate ceremony and cocktail areas. Our International and EpicPrime venues even allow for outdoor ceremonies. There is no extra charge!
Art Factory has 24/7 security even though we are on Interstate 80 in a predominantly non-residential historic factory district. Our trolleys are driven by off-duty Paterson police officers and firemen.
Everyone who decides to have their event at the Art Factory becomes automatic members, similar to Soho House, with privileged 24/7 access. You may come and go as you please, use the grounds for photos, build in our wood and metal shops, or use a space for your engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or 30th birthday, free-of-charge! You become a part of our family!
Sometimes. Our event spaces are in different buildings on our huge 5-acre 21-building campus, so you can't hear or see one event from the next. You are in your own world here!.
If we are running a sale you pay for the space in full to book at the sale prices because you'll be saving thousands of dollars. If you wish to book at the non-sale prices you can pay 50% down and then 50% over 6 months. Most book with credit card so you get the points and can pay the card company over time if you wish.
