Why Choose a Brisbane Industrial Wedding Venue?
Industrial-style venues offer timeless appeal. Their character, texture, and flexibility allow for creative styling that reflects your personality. At Factory51, our venue balances raw materials with thoughtful finishes — creating a canvas that works beautifully for both modern and vintage themes.
Guests enjoy the comfort of a fully climate-controlled, sound-engineered space that’s as functional as it is striking. From a private marble bar to an alfresco laneway area, every corner is designed with atmosphere and ease in mind.

You’ll also find tips on floorplans, catering, styling, and how to work with our team to personalise your celebration.
Executive Chef Bruce McKenna’s handcrafted seasonal menus are often featured, showcasing shared feasts and custom canapé packages created exclusively for our events. You’ll also get to know our event planners, Kailyn and Courtney, who bring each occasion to life with care and precision.
