FACTORY51 IS AN AWARD-WINNING WEDDING VENUE AT 2024 WEDDING INDUSTRY AWARDS
Factory51 is thrilled to announce that we have received Highly Commended awards in two prestigious categories at the 2024 Wedding Industry Awards™: Wedding Venue – Unique, and Wedding Venue – Coordinator. Being recognised in this way is a testament to the commitment of our dedicated team and the love and trust we’ve received from couples and the wider wedding community.
Our recognition at the 2024 Wedding Industry Awards™ builds on our success from last year, when we proudly claimed the #1 spot as ‘Wedding Venue – Unique.’ Being celebrated two years in a row underscores our commitment to creating extraordinary wedding experiences and consistently elevating our offerings.
About the Wedding Industry Awards™
The Wedding Industry Awards™ (WIA) is an esteemed event in Australia that celebrates excellence in the wedding sector. This annual awards program provides couples with a platform to recognise and reward the standout professionals who helped make their wedding days unforgettable. The voting process is designed to be authentic, capturing real feedback directly from couples who experienced these venues and services firsthand.
Voting for the WIA involves past clients rating their wedding providers across multiple criteria, including quality of service, professionalism, value, and overall satisfaction. This feedback ensures that the awards truly reflect the experiences of those who have walked down the aisle with these businesses by their side. Factory51 is grateful to have received such meaningful support and votes from couples who chose to celebrate with us. These accolades are a reflection of the dedication of our team and our desire to offer an exceptional wedding experience.
Factory51’s Award-Winning Achievement
This year, Factory51 was awarded #2 Highly Commended in both the “Wedding Venue – Unique” and “Wedding Venue – Coordinator” categories for the Brisbane region. This dual recognition highlights Factory51’s ability to deliver not only an outstanding venue, but also seamless, detail-oriented coordination services.
Beau Vedelago, owner and visionary behind Factory51, shares his perspective on the recognition:
I designed and built Factory 51 to give couples an opportunity to have their reception in a unique and bespoke events space. I have been fortunate to attend many weddings in Australia’s beautiful wine regions and wanted to bring that sense of escapism and rustic chic to Brisbane. I am passionate about constantly striving to enhance guest experience and have established an incredible team to work towards this goal.
Factory51 has long aspired to provide couples with a wedding venue that goes beyond the expected, blending charm, elegance, and ease. Our entire team is proud to be acknowledged for our continuous effort to make each wedding memorable.
What Makes Factory51 a Unique Wedding Venue?
Factory51 has always strived to bring a distinctive experience to Brisbane’s wedding scene. Situated in Coorparoo, just a short drive from the heart of Brisbane, Factory51 serves as both a ceremony and reception space, offering couples the convenience of celebrating their entire day in one beautiful location. This ability to host both parts of a couple’s wedding journey creates a seamless and immersive experience for couples and their guests.
The venue itself is a stunning blend of rustic charm and chic sophistication. With its exposed brick walls, handcrafted elements, and warm lighting, Factory51’s aesthetic recalls the charm of an intimate winery venue, while offering modern conveniences. Our Italian-inspired menu brings another layer of distinction to the experience, with dishes that are crafted from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The cuisine not only adds a memorable culinary touch but also celebrates our team’s commitment to quality.
Factory51’s location in Coorparoo also makes it easily accessible for couples and guests, eliminating the worry of navigating remote areas and ensuring that the magic of the day isn’t overshadowed by logistics. We take pride in combining accessibility, style, and personality into an inviting space that feels both upscale and intimately comfortable.
Meet Our Exceptional Team of Wedding Coordinators
One of the defining elements that set Factory51 apart is our dedicated team, who bring passion and care to every wedding they coordinate.
For the past year, Courtney McGuffie has been our Functions Manager, leading the team with expertise and warmth. When Courtney took leave for her own beautiful wedding, Carling Witherington (Withasee) stepped in, ensuring that all weddings were carried out smoothly and to our high standards. More recently, Courtney has welcomed a gorgeous baby boy into the world, and we’re delighted to announce Kailyn Jackson as our new Functions Manager. Kailyn’s experience as a Functions Supervisor at Factory51 has given her in-depth insight into the details and demands of wedding coordination, and she’s already doing an exceptional job of assisting our future couples in planning their special day.
Our coordinators are integral to each wedding at Factory51, and their commitment, knowledge, and friendliness have been essential to our continued success. They work closely with each couple to ensure that the day unfolds beautifully, providing personalised support from planning to the final farewell of the night. The commitment from our team is something couples frequently remark on, and we’re proud to be recognised for their hard work and genuine care.
