Rustic industrial meets chic elegance in our unique Brisbane wedding venue. Whether you’re exchanging vows or hosting your reception, guests are welcomed via a private laneway into our breathtaking space ready to house all the love and celebration.

Our signature crystal chandelier hung gracefully from exposed steel beams exudes warmth and ambiance, complemented by festoon lighting draped along exposed red brick walls. Guests will enjoy connecting over handmade timber tables, set with crystal glassware & spanish crockery, set atop polished concrete floors. A jade green marble bar, black velvet lounges, and secluded alfresco area offer further spots for mingling.  

All of our artisan food is made in-house using traditional techniques and passion. We source local craft beers and hand pick local wines to match our amazing food.

"We recently held our wedding reception at Factory51 and WOW! The room looked spectacular, the food was amazing, and the evening ran like clockwork. They went above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect, nothing was too much trouble, and our guests noticed and commented how engaged and attentive the staff were. We cannot recommend Factory51 highly enough!"

FACTORY51 CEREMONIES

Wedding Ceremonies

Factory51 is pleased to take you from ceremony through to reception in The Workshop function room. It’s a great idea to host both formalities in the one location to enable celebrations to continue without the need to travel.

Guests will be welcomed down the private laneway to your beautifully set room, ‘chapel style’ as they witness your exchange of vows. After the ceremony, they will be invited for refreshments at your private marble bar whilst you have photos taken. During this time we draw the black velvet curtains and magically transform the space for your stunning reception.

Alternatively, you can host your ceremony at Broadway Chapel, just a few minutes drive away. This gorgeous chapel boasts country rustic charm which will connect beautifully with your rustic industrial theming at Factory51.

CAN WE BRING A WEDDING CAKE?
You are welcome to bring in a wedding cake! We offer complimentary cutting of the cake to be served on a platter, or alternatively we can cut and plate your cake individually for a small fee per person. Please let our Functions Manager know your preference in the lead up to your wedding.

ARE KIDS ALLOWED?
Of course! We are a family-friendly venue so kids are welcome to stay for the whole wedding reception. We know that children don’t always want to eat the same as adults, which is why our menu includes delicious kids' meal options.

We provide all beverages for your reception in-house, and do not permit BYO alcohol. We can however accommodate special requests, so please ensure you contact us ahead of time so that we can place an order for your wedding.

Can WE HAVE A BAR TAB INSTEAD OF A BEVERAGE PACKAGE?
You can choose to have either a bar tab or a beverage package for your wedding. A bar tab is a pre-designated amount set towards beverages. Our professional staff will keep you informed on the night as to how your bar tab is tracking. You may wish to extend the bar tab, or change to a cash bar once the amount is reached (for guests to pay for their own drinks). A beverage package is a set price per person for a set amount of time. Please refer to our Functions Package for a beverage list and beverage package pricing.
