BRISBANE VENUE
Warehouse Wedding Venue
Factory 51 is a warehouse wedding venue in Coorparoo, on Brisbane’s Southside. The space is built around a heritage red brick warehouse – with polished concrete floors, a Maria Theresa crystal chandelier, and a layout designed for weddings that want genuine character without the usual compromises. For a full comparison of venue styles and pricing, explore our guide to wedding venues Brisbane.
A Warehouse Space That Works as a Wedding Venue
The bones of Factory 51 do a lot of the work. Rich red brick walls, high ceilings, and polished concrete floors give the space an atmosphere that most venues try hard to manufacture. Add the Maria Theresa crystal chandelier overhead, and what you have is a room that feels both industrial and genuinely elegant – a combination that’s harder to find in Brisbane than it should be.
The space accommodates ceremonies, receptions, or both in the same location – which simplifies the day and removes the need to move guests between venues.
Handcrafted Timber Tables
Every dining setting at Factory 51 uses our signature handcrafted timber tables. Made in-house and designed to complement the warehouse aesthetic, they bring warmth to a space that could otherwise feel stark. The result is a dining environment that feels considered and cohesive rather than assembled from separate parts.
Private Bar and Dance Floor
The marble bar is available exclusively to your guests throughout the event, stocked with local craft beers on tap, premium boutique wines, and flexible beverage package options. When the formalities wrap up, the polished concrete floor opens across the full room – no awkward transitions, no dance area cordoned off in a corner. The whole space moves with the night.
An All-Inclusive Approach to Wedding Planning
Factory 51 covers food, drinks, staffing, and coordination as part of a single package structure. There’s no venue hire fee, and pricing is designed to give couples genuine clarity from the start – rather than a base rate that climbs as the details are added.
Whether you’re planning an intimate evening or a larger celebration, the events team works alongside you to make sure the night runs exactly as it should.

Shared Italian Feasting at Factory 51
Food is central to how Factory 51 approaches weddings. Every menu is built around rustic Italian cooking – made from scratch using local ingredients and designed to be shared rather than plated and forgotten.
Seated Receptions
The signature Italian Shared Feasting Menu is the most popular choice for seated receptions. House-made dishes are passed across the table, served on handcrafted timber tables that complement the warehouse setting. For couples who prefer a more formal format, a traditional alternate drop menu is also available.
Cocktail Receptions
For a more relaxed evening, the cocktail service covers handcrafted canapés, antipasti boards, grazing tables, and late-night wood-fired pizzas – all prepared onsite throughout the night.
Beverage Packages
The private marble bar pours local craft beers on tap alongside a curated selection of boutique wines. Beverage packages provide unlimited service across your reception, with bar tab options available if you’d prefer more flexibility.
Why Factory 51 Works for Brisbane Weddings
The venue suits weddings from intimate gatherings through to celebrations of up to 180 guests. Industrial character, Italian hospitality, and an all-inclusive package structure – food, drinks, staffing, and coordination covered from the start – mean there’s less to organise and more room to enjoy the day.

A Real Warehouse Wedding Venue in Coorparoo, Brisbane
Factory 51 isn’t a function room dressed up to look the part — it’s a genuine converted warehouse in Coorparoo, minutes from the Brisbane CBD. The Workshop, our exclusive-use celebration space, keeps everything that gives a warehouse wedding its character: soaring ceilings, original exposed brick, raw steel and polished concrete, all softened by our signature floor-to-ceiling fairy-light curtain and a crystal chandelier hung over the room.
When you book Factory 51 you take the whole building for the day. No other weddings run alongside yours, no shared rooms, no turnover — just you, your guests and a true blank-canvas warehouse you can shape into anything from a candlelit cocktail party to a long-table feast. Because the architecture carries the room, most couples spend far less on styling than they would filling an empty hall.
Why couples choose a warehouse wedding here
- Exclusive use of the entire venue — the space is yours alone, from setup to last dance.
- An in-house Italian kitchen — every dish is cooked on-site by our own chefs, with no external caterers.
- Room for 10 to 180 guests — the warehouse scales from intimate dinners to large cocktail celebrations.
- No separate venue-hire fee — your budget goes to food, drinks and the day itself, not an empty room.
