Chicago folks! Get married in MKE at the Factory on Barclay!
We couldn't have picked a more beautiful, open and perfect venue than the Factory on Barclay. We got married 5/13 and people are still messaging me about how stunning the venue was. Sarah was amazing every step of the way from letting us tour multiple times with different family members, owning set up of our day and tear down. We didn't have to worry about a thing besides having our day. The rest of the staff day-of was absolutely awesome as well. Alcohol is provided. Bartenders were awesome and dealt with the party atmosphere of our wedding really well. We had a little scheduling issue where, surprisingly, we were ahead of schedule and Sarah got all vendors to move things ahead 30 mins.
You get so much for your money as well. The space itself is massive and makes the day flow really easily. We did everything on-site, (getting ready, pics, ceremony and reception) and it was the perfect space. Getting ready suites are huge and a big plus.
Recommended vendors usually sway people in the opposite direction because you have a smaller list of caterers to chose from, but it's evident that the staff at the Factory and Sarah have taken the time to curate a list of vendors that make a lot of sense for all different budgets and different experiences.
We wouldn't do a thing differently regarding our venue search. Truly was the most beautiful day. Will add pictures once we get our formal pics from our photographer!

The Factory on Barclay was our dream wedding venue! Sarah was very helpful and organized throughout the planning process and was an absolute rock star the day-of. She helped set up our centerpieces, desserts, and more, and took care of all the day-of coordination with our vendors. We didn't have to worry about a thing! The venue was clean and trendy with two A+ get-ready suites. We can't recommend them enough!
Size-wise, we had 165 guests at 16 round tables (plus a head table) and were very comfortable – the space felt full but not too crowded.
One thing to note is that the Factory charges a 10% catering fee to the caterer that will likely be passed on to you. This isn't listed on their website or in any materials they give you, so you may want to factor this into your budget.
