A popular retail and shopping destination, The Factory in Franklin also doubles as a wedding and event venue. A former stove factory, this property is on the National Register of Historic Places and is conveniently located close to Downtown. With three private event rooms, it’s a versatile space that you can customize to your heart’s content for a myriad of celebrations. To help you determine whether this charming historic venue aligns with your vision, we’re sharing a few ideas for hosting at The Factory In Franklin, featuring our stylish event rentals.

The Premier Corporate Event Space

Big or small, The Factory at Franklin offers numerous spaces for corporate events. They cater to a variety of needs, whether you’re planning a fashion show, meeting, craft fair, fundraiser, music showcase, video shoot, film screening, wine tasting, concert, and much more! Feats that are much easier to pull off thanks to in-house audio and stage lighting systems. Southern Event Rentals has had the pleasure of assisting with numerous corporate events in the space, including the Project R12 Freedom Gala.

Our team would love to assist you in creating a stylish and functional space. Our inventory includes numerous tables and chairs, so that you can create a catered reception space that is elegant and uniform. Such as our Fruitwood Folding Chairs and Farm Wood Table. Plus, linens in an array of colors to match your theme or color scheme. And whether you’re planning a self-serve buffet or catered dinner, be sure to peruse our selection of catering and beverage rentals.

Take the Party Outside for a Cocktail Hour

Looking to expand your event beyond The Factory at Franklin? Take the celebration outdoors for an airy cocktail hour. This event space is open to tents being set up adjacent to their property, allowing you to take advantage of beautiful weather. It is also a great way to divert guests, say at a wedding, while a room is being flipped between the ceremony and reception.

To help you host a stylish outdoor cocktail hour, we always recommend that you start with an event bar. We have numerous styles to choose from, for every type of event. Recent favorites include Collins Black Wood and Chelsea Marble Top Bar. However, if you plan to have a large guest count, we recommend Thompson Full Oval White Bar. To encourage people to sit and mingle, strategically place a handful of bistro tables. For example, the Palmer Bistro Table and Barstools. If it’s within your budget, break up the bistro tables with carefully crafted lounge areas.

Your Day, Your Way, at Liberty Hall

If you’re looking for a versatile event space, The Liberty Hall is an easy choice. Spanning 14,400 square feet, it is the largest of the rental spaces at the Factory. It features an open floor plan, a 2nd floor mezzanine, green room, and catering kitchen. The spacious ceiling is perfect if you’re envisioning romantic overhead drapery or elegant lighting. Plus, we love the contrast of the exposed bricks and modern event furniture!

Despite its size, easily create an intimate setting with wood banquet tables set up end-to-end, such as our Aged Oak Dining Tables. For added texture or a pop of color, top them with our Sahara Table Runners. These tables pair beautifully with wood dining chairs, whether you prefer the elegant Harlin or classic Cross-Back. Alternatively, lend a bit of sparkle with our popular Gold Chiavari Chairs. For weddings, or any event with live entertainment, don’t forget to book a dance floor!
