Wool Factory Events Continues to Draw Rave Reviews

Our Events Team at The Wool Factory delivers a first-class experience from first inquiry to the final toast. But don’t just take our word for it — here’s what some of our clients have said:

The space is gorgeous and the food was delicious. Many people told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding and we agree! Definitely recommend the Wool Factory if you are looking to get married in Charlottesville.

The Wool Factory delivered it all. From the beginning of the process, the staff was thoughtful and helpful, providing their expertise while not ever feeling pushy. Everything ran like clockwork on our wedding day, the food was excellent, the staff was completely on top of everything, and if there were bumps, we never noticed them. It was exactly as we hoped for - a beautiful, and super fun celebration, at a place with a really cool vibe.
