We’re celebrating some wonderful news! Factory51 has officially been named Brisbane’s #1 Wedding Venue – Unique at the 2026 Wedding Industry Awards.
This latest recognition marks another proud milestone for our independently owned wedding venue in Coorparoo, and reflects the trust our couples place in us to create celebrations that are genuinely their own.
“Our team pours heart and soul into every wedding,” says owner Beau Vedelago. “We’re humbled by this recognition and grateful to the many couples who voted for us.”
Four Years of Award-Winning Weddings
Our Wedding Industry Awards achievements:
| Year | Result |
|---|---|
| 2026 | #1 Winner – Wedding Venue: Unique |
| 2025 | #1 Winner – Wedding Venue: Unique |
| 2024 | #2 Highly Commended – Wedding Venue: Unique |
| 2023 | #1 Winner – Wedding Venue: Unique |
Four consecutive years of podium recognition, including three first-place finishes, is something we’re incredibly proud of.
The regional awards recognise wedding businesses through feedback from newlywed couples. For our team, that makes this achievement particularly meaningful.

Beautifully Different. And Proud of It.
Factory51 has never been your ordinary wedding venue.
Hidden down a private laneway in Brisbane’s Coorparoo, The Workshop is a beautifully restored industrial space combining exposed red brick, soaring steel beams, polished concrete floors, a statement crystal chandelier and a striking jade marble bar.
It’s a little unexpected, wonderfully atmospheric, and full of character.
Whether couples envision an intimate candlelit celebration, a lively reception with a band, or a long-table Italian feast, our space offers the freedom to celebrate in a way that feels entirely personal.
