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!!

The Button Factory was definitely the highlight of our Big Day. The team at TBF went above and beyond to make our day so special and unique. Also, The Button Factory is one of those places where you step inside and imagine endless possibilities where a person can go crazy with every idea under the sun.
