Vendor Type: Venue
Owners: Cassandra Irwin & Clyde Shaffer

It's not often my husband sees a venue and asks to come along on the tour.
When I showed him photos from The Wedding Factory's Instagram account, he immediately asked to join me and possibly help me run my first wedding at the location. There was no denying that this brand new venue was something special.
The Wedding Factory is housed within a 120-year-old brick building that, you guessed it, was once a factory. During the renovations, Cassandra and her family decided to preserve the history and restore or repurpose as much of the interior as possible. This gives it a very industrial vibe with a touch of rustic, a far cry from the many barn venues popular in Indiana right now. Modern additions include a Bluetooth sound system available in each event area, a full catering kitchen owned and operated by Pete's Bar and Grill, climate control for each event space and the bridal suite, and an elevator to help guests reach the second floor.
The venue is broken up into 3 event spaces, each with its own unique feel.
The Tulley room would be ideal for more intimate weddings but can hold up to 200 people. It is more square in shape with exposed brick, wooden pillars, and a reflective ceiling. This area is also available for hosting rehearsal dinners for an additional fee.
The McCormick room would make a gorgeous ceremony space and can also hold up to 200. It is more rectangular with a long wall of windows allowing natural light to pour in, large hanging lanterns over what would be the aisle during a ceremony, and more wooden pillars lining the space.
The Loft is by far the largest area, able to hold over 300 people, and would make an excellent ceremony and reception space. It has a beautiful wooden dance floor, a carpeted area, and an area for kids to play in. There are even more windows in this second-floor area, so the room is full of natural light during the day.
Can't choose between rooms? You don't have to! You can rent any two or all three if you want the run of the place! The Wedding Factory is even open to other events like Baby Showers, Christmas Parties, Reunions, even Corporate Events!
I am absolutely in love with this venue, and I hope I get to help many couples celebrate their love at The Wedding Factory.
