There were too many issues to count. I had to create a timeline of their inadequacies and it was pages. Many, many things wrong throughout the planning process and day of. We were told to “trust the process”. Flowers wrong, no second photographer (Which the entire cocktail hour and outdoor activities were missed from photos because we had after ceremony photos), “after the tone” phone wasn’t set up and we didn’t get but 2 voicemails from our entire wedding (it was a huge hit but nothing recorded). Our pictures and video were held from us. I could go on and on. I can’t say RUN fast enough
It's taken me a few months to encapsulate the sheer delight we experienced with The Chair Factory, from the very moment we embarked on our venue search to the final wrap-up of our special night. The entire team at The Chair Factory demonstrated a level of professionalism that surpassed our expectations.
Even with the challenge of an August wedding, they skillfully managed to keep our guests comfortably cool indoors. The venue itself is a vision of elegance, and utilizing their recommended vendors proved to be a decision that exceeded our wildest expectations. The vendor meeting streamlined the wedding planning process, a crucial factor given my short engagement.
One standout feature was the team's commitment to ensuring that not a single detail escaped their attention. From setup to take-down, The Chair Factory staff went above and beyond, sparing us any need to lift a finger. This level of care and consideration stands in stark contrast to other weddings I've been a part of.
The bride and groom suites were not only functional but impressively spacious, adding a touch of luxury to our day. The feedback from our guests has been consistently positive, with many expressing their admiration for the venue, the seamless event flow, and the warmth and professionalism of the staff.
Our experience with The Chair Factory was nothing short of exceptional. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone seeking a perfect blend of elegance, efficiency, and a team that truly cares about making your special day extraordinary.
The Chair Factory Wedding Venue is absolutely amazing! Once we booked our wedding, we again attending their Vendor Meetings and that has helped the planning process to be very simple and stress free. The Bridal Suite is so beautiful and they have an equally awesome Groom’s Loft for the fellas. The guys love the pool table, football table, comfy couches, and the 85 inch TV. The Chair Factory Venue is the perfect Industrial Venue that has been preserved the historical value of the building. We definable made the right choice in our wedding venue!! Thank you to the amazing staff and the entire organization.
Everything and I mean Everything at your fingertips. Beautiful location, professional staff and excellent vendor selections.
My husband and I got married at The Chair Factory this past November by sheer luck! We had booked a previous location that fell through - and while it was beyond a stressful situation - we ended up finding this as such a blessing. The Chair Factory is not only a beautiful venue (that continues to improve constantly!), but their staff is a hidden gem in the crazy wedding business nowadays. As it is family owned, I didn't feel like my husband and I, or are families, were just another wedding. We were seen on a personal level, and they were so gracious working with us on such a short notice (which was beyond lucky because they should be one of the first options brides in Metro Atlanta consider!). My personal favorite pieces of The Chair Factory include the preserved historical, rustic feel, the breathtaking bridal suite (pictures don't begin to do it justice!), the roomy grooms loft (perfect for the guys to chill for the day!), and the vendor connections (vendor fairs for allll you will need!). I truly could not have dreamed of a better venue for my husband and I to get married - and I am so grateful for how it hugged our guests and us throughout such a special, emotional day!
