Such a versatile and open space, we love styling at the Button Factory! Phil and his team are more than accommodating and make you feel at home in the event space. There are so many unique areas for a wedding ceremony, birthday party or social event here, including the HUGE and bright room upstairs. Would highly recommend checking this place out!!
