Such a great space that is a perfect blank canvas for decorating. The Courtyard and the Clearstory were beautiful and our guests loved the character. The people were easy to work with and were there if we needed anything.

I would recommend the Pajama Factory to anyone looking for a reception hall. Everyone involved was awesome!

Although we were in the rare position of a management shift, Lisa Andrus (the current coordinator of the space) always treated us like she was our very own mini-coordinator from the beginning. At this point, we feel less like clients and more like good friends, thanks to her flexibility and thoughtfulness.

Besides the excellent service we received, the space itself was the highlight of our guests' nights. This unique, industrial-style loft venue is the only one of its kind in the Central PA area, and an incredible value for a DIY bride. Though some may describe the space as "raw," the Clearstory is an absolute dream for the bride with an imagination; however, the space can hold its own with little decoration. When you book the Clearstory, you're booking the freedom to create the wedding you want.

However, be prepared to work for it! We wish we had booked directly with Lisa as our coordinator from the get-go, because the space requires coordination of every vendor, from your caterer right down to the forks you use. One of my bridesmaids and I were setting up 140 heavy resin chairs two nights beforehand! Understanding the management shift, Lisa has already eased future brides' pain by offering coordination in her rental packages. Even if you want to DIY, take it from me: you'll want Lisa's help.

The space is nestled into the Pajama Factory, home to the sweetest community of vendors you'll ever meet. Karen of Roots Hair did makeup for my bridesmaids, Todd of Way Cool Beans coordinated coffee service, and Erik from White Knight and Erik's Edibles supplied the best damn pickles for our guests' welcome bags. We even considered using the bakery at the Pajama Factory! (We opted for a dessert bar instead). This type of community is right at your fingertips when working with Lisa and the Clearstory. As daunting a task as a DIY wedding is, Lisa and the Pajama Factory residents helped me make my wedding so special and unique.
