For LGBTQ couples seeking a venue that combines historic character, riverside scenery, and convenient access to Connecticut’s shoreline and major cities, The Lace Factory offers a truly memorable setting to begin a lifetime together.
Couples can exchange vows outdoors with river views nearby or celebrate inside the dramatic loft-style ballroom, which accommodates large celebrations of more than 200 guests.
Raw, authentic, and undeniably stylish, The Lace Factory blends its industrial heritage with modern sophistication to create a wedding venue unlike any other.
Exposed brick, towering ceilings, and steel beams frame the space with bold character, while expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light. The result is a dramatic yet versatile backdrop that allows couples to design a celebration that is sleek, edgy, and entirely their own.
With room for up to 225 guests, The Lace Factory offers spaces that can be transformed from minimalist elegance to statement-making extravagance. The historic entry hallway sets the tone with an urban edge, while the Riverview Room adds a touch of intimacy for rehearsal dinners or brunches.
The Lace Factory offers stunning culinary experiences.
Adding to its unique charm, the Lace Factory partners with the historic Essex Steam Train, offering guests the extraordinary experience of arriving by vintage railcar right to the venue’s doors.
Together, the train, river, and factory create a one-of-a-kind blend of history, romance, and New England character—making the Lace Factory not just a venue, but a destination.
