Whether you’re planning a wedding, engagement party, private function, or corporate event, you’ll find everything you need to bring your vision to life.
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.
