About

On WeddingWire since 2018

The Cracker Factory is a beautifully renovated industrial factory located in Geneva, New York. Built in the early 1900s, the factory was the first home to cutlery manufacturer Geneva Forge. Since 2010, the second-floor gallery event space has been used for glamorous art shows, concerts, weddings, and more. Couples have the opportunity to add to the building's esteemed history and create a once-in-a-lifetime memory that can be cherished for many years to come.

Facilities and Capacity

The 6,000-square-foot gallery space is ideal for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsal dinners. Having been refurbished to highlight the structure’s industrial beauty, the gallery features glossy hardwood flooring, grand whitewashed columns, overhead wooden beams, and more. During daytime celebrations, the gallery's large windows fill the space with natural light and cast sweeping relations along the floor. As the celebrations run into the night, the space is warmly lit-up with an array of small lights that adds a personal and intimate touch to any special occasion. The gallery can be configured in a variety of ways and, due to its natural color scheme, can be transformed and decorated to best suit each couple’s preferred style and design. The event space can accommodate up to 376 guests and also features a fully equipped bar, caterer’s kitchen, and wheelchair-friendly accessibility. For more information regarding the gallery event space, couples can contact the building’s professional and helpful staff through their official website or email.

The Cracker Factory provides a range of event services and rental items to ensure every couple’s planning process runs as smoothly and as stress-free as possible. The building’s professional event staff can work closely with each couple and guide them through the number of services and items available for their special day. Event services offered include setup, cleanup, lighting, audio equipment, wifi, bar services, on-site parking, and more.

Excellent!

My husband and I decided to book our wedding at The Cracker Factory, and it did not disappoint! The venue is very unique, and we loved the industrial vibe and spaciousness. Amy, Brandon, and the TCF team were very responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning and through to the end of the event. This felt particularly comforting! We are so appreciative of all of the time they put in to make sure we had the best day. If you are looking for a wedding or event venue in the Finger Lakes area, this is it!!

The Perfect Venue

Amy, Tim, and Team were absolutely amazing. This was the only venue we toured because we immediately fell in love with the space and the people. Amy and Tim were super responsive, answered any and all questions we had, and made the whole process of planning seamless. Their recommended list of vendors was so helpful and made the planning process so easy (all the vendors raved about the Cracker Factory too!). We live in NYC and the team was super flexible to meet with us when we made plans to travel up there. Come the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, we were so happy with our venue choice and all of our friends and family equally fell in love. It really was just the perfect venue to celebrate our big day. We’d highly recommend the Cracker Factory for anyone looking for a warm, intimate, and authentic space under the care of an incredible team.

Best day ever!

Working with Amy and the team at the Cracker Factory was wonderful from start to finish. They were responsive to questions, flexible with ideas, and helped us to create a beautiful day we will relive forever. As a more indecisive bride with a larger wedding size (215), I really enjoyed working with this team and collaborating together. The indoor industrial space was beautiful for our February wedding, and I really enjoyed taking our First Look pictures together at the venue. The back bar space was so fun for our cocktail hour. Overall, loved working with this team and this space! Would definitely recommend to a friend.
