The Venues at The Factory

A modern and vibe-y venue nestled in downtown Manchester you absolutely want to host your next event at -- especially if Marlana Trombley, venue manager and expert event planner, is working with you. 10/10.

The Venues at the Factory is a hidden gem for the bridal and corporate event community. The flexibility of their space, the lounge/bar, and the staff is spot on. The "bones" of the building and space made for an instantly modern, but intimate, environment. 10/10 recommend!

Marlana and the entire team worked tirelessly to help with our event and stay within our budget! We couldn't be happier with all they had to offer and their assistance from start to finish!

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.

Waypoint recently held our end of the year quarterly leaders meeting in the space. It was perfect. Marlana did a great job tending to details and making the space what we needed for it to be a little bit celebratory and a work space as well.

Thank you to Marlana and Liz at the Factory on Willow. Your venue space exceeded our expectations, and we had a very successful event. We will definitely be back next year! The staff listened to our vision and made the space a warm and inviting experience.

Wow, what an amazing venue! From the historical brick walls & windows to the greenery wall & wine barrels, this venue had so very much character! The venue really captures the essence of Manchester's history, coupled with the modern touches you need to run a successful event! Marlana Trombley was amazing to work with, super professional, fun, and detailed!!! Our Fundraiser was a hit and we will definitely be back for years to come! This is Manchester's coolest venue by far and there is a distillery onsite too!!!

We had the best experience at The Gardens at the Factory! We are a non-profit and were hosting a fundraiser for 115 people. The GATF team was so friendly, creative, and accommodating to all of our needs. Lisa (the sales director) responded right away to my initial inquiry, emailed over useful information and made the online booking process very easy. Tom (the events director) met with us beforehand and made sure we thought of everything we might need. When I had a bit of technical difficulty setting up my projector, he solved it. When extra extension cords were needed for our percolators, he produced them. He and his team helped rearrange tables before the event exactly to our liking and helped guide parking at the start. The room looked beautiful on it's own with its industrial chic vibe, and we were able to use the 10 wine barrels they had on site to display auction items. The table options were plentiful, the restrooms easily accessible, and the kitchen quite large. There was various set up options and ways to use extra space as well. We used the grotto as a coat room (they offered a coat rack with plenty of hangers) but it's a lovely room right off the main space that can be used in various ways. Our event went off without a hitch and the guests were very impressed by the venue. It's a gem of Manchester!
