The bare nature of industrial wedding venues is what makes them appealing to so many. Often, these restored lofts, warehouses, factories and buildings boast open floor plans, brick walls, soaring windows bringing in natural light, exposed beams and rafters, concrete or hardwood floors—and little else. The structural design elements are covetable, and the vast emptiness elsewhere in these spaces leaves so much up to the imagination. This means that if you opt for one of these amazing wedding venues, you'll likely wind up with wedding day decor that is totally up to you. Whether you go with a rustic wedding theme, romantic, glam, eclectic or any style in between, the setting will be a testament to yourself, your partner and your love story.

What makes industrial event venues even better is that you can find them in most cities across the United States. And, because they're indoor venues, they're suitable for weddings year-round. If you aren't buying into the hype or you're not convinced about how industrial-chic these types of wedding venues can become, let us change your mind below. We've sourced 12 outstanding industrial venues from all over the country that can help you make a bold statement on your big day. And if you need even more inspiration? Make sure to check out The Knot Vendor Marketplace, where you can find all kinds of wedding venues, experts and ideas.

Warehouse Winery in Minneapolis, Minnesota

The self-described "relaxed" venue is so much fun and can accommodate 150 guests for a seated dinner or 200 for a standing event. Your one-of-a-kind wedding day will include a reception room, an event coordinator, a sound system, tables, chairs, lounge furniture, uplighting, a bridal suite, HD TVs and more.

Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas

Twenty-five minutes from downtown Austin, on 20 acres of Texas Hill Country, you'll find Prospect House—a strikingly modern special event venue designed by Texas architect Max Levy. The industrial details here are understated but ever-present: In the Breezeway, for example, exposed framing illuminated by natural light will grab your attention. The Biergarten outdoor space features a concrete and steel bar. And the Main Hall indoor space features paneled 15-foot-tall ceilings. As noted on the Prospect House website, the interior and exterior spaces were designed to flow "from one to the other and back again," and they do. It's a truly gorgeous minimalistic space that can be the blank canvas for your big day.

It's another blank canvas venue; dress it up, make it rustic, bring in romance … no matter your wedding day style, your celebration here can reflect it. The event space has history, too: The building dates back to 1912, at which time it was originally home to the Strand Theater. (It was sold in 1957.)

Herban Feast's Sodo Park & The Foundry in Seattle, Washington
