About

On WeddingWire since 2019

The Wool Factory is a unique wedding venue located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Originally The Historic Woolen Mills, a 19th-century textile mill located one mile from downtown Charlottesville, it's now an open, airy event space. However, its clean industrial design has been preserved, combining historic charm with modern convenience.

Facilities and Capacity

The Wool Factory can seat up to 360 guests in over 6,000 square feet of space. It can host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and more. Featuring an artisan-style restaurant, a craft microbrewery, and both a coffee and wine shop, it makes a stylish, distinctive wedding location. A variety of indoor spaces are available, including the spacious Main Hall, which is perfect for larger groups. More intimate gatherings can be held in the smaller Broadcloth and Workshop rooms. Outdoor seating is also available in the Courtyard for up to 180 guests. Additionally, the venue features a dedicated dressing loft and stunning views of the creek. Its minimal design allows you the creative freedom to transform the space to your liking.

Services Offered

The Wool Factory offers in-house catering overseen by Executive Chef Tucker Yoder. Their talented culinary team will work with you to create your perfect menu, using only the finest local ingredients. You and your guests can also enjoy access to custom event beer production and labeling in the on-site craft brewery. Other amenities include accessible restrooms, on-site parking for up to 300 guests, a bar, locally-made tables and benches, and all necessary dishware and tableware.

Delightful post-elopement dinner venue

We used Wool Factory (specifically, Broadcloth) as our post-elopement dinner venue for us and our 8 guests. Mitchell and Danielle were wonderful to work with and responsive to our questions and needs. The Broadcloth staff and culinary team were also amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and the service unparalleled. And the physical space is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend the Wool Factory for your Charlottesville Wedding!

Cannot recommend the Wool Factory enough. Danielle was so helpful in ensuring all the details were buttoned down and the day went smoothly. 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.

Exactly as we hoped!

We had an idea in mind - we wanted a modern space, with a touch of elegance, and most of all a place for a super fun celebration. 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. They accommodated us along the way and did everything possible to provide what we needed. 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. We recommend The Wool Factory without hesitation!
