I cannot recommend Olde Wicks enough!! I got married here on 12/7 and it was nothing short of amazing! Jennifer and Shannon were so hospitable from scheduling time to walk through the venue with my vendors to being so accommodating and friendly. I received so many compliments on the space and how kind everyone working was! Everything went so smoothly!! Seriously I will recommend them for any event! Thank you for making my wedding day the best day ever ❤️

Our wedding at Olde Wicks Factory was absolutely perfect! The venue is gorgeous with plenty of space to make your vision come to life. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. I teared up when entering the Grand Hall for the first time because it was everything I imagined for a space for our ceremony.

Shannon and Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. They provided us with suggestions for vendors and answered any questions we had along the way. They're flexible, understanding, and so kind. Shannon was our day of venue coordinator and made sure the vendors arrived on time and set up where they needed to. She was there from the moment my bridesmaids and I arrived for hair and make up to the minute we exited for the night to answer questions and ensure everything was running smoothly. We cannot thank her enough for all her hard work during the day!

Our guests still haven't stopped raving about how beautiful and perfect the set up of the venue is. We started in the Grand Hall for the ceremony, transitioned to the Gatsby Room for cocktail hour, and ended in the Main Hall for our reception. The Main Hall has an industrial, white, airy feel with plenty of space for our guests, the band, and of course dancing, which was exactly what we were looking for!

We seriously don't have enough amazing things to say about Olde Wicks Factory. It's the perfect venue if you're looking for an all-in-one kind of wedding day. You don't have to leave the property until your wedding reception ends. The scenery is beautiful for all your photographs and the staff is incredible to work with.

I couldn't recommend choosing Olde Wicks Factory as your wedding venue enough. Everything about it is just perfect and has such a special place in our hearts.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than the Olde Wicks Factory for our wedding reception on 9.21.24! The venue was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect atmosphere for our special day. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. With so much to offer across their property, we utilized the Bridal & Groom suites, Gatsby room & Grand Hall for our cocktail hour, and the Main Hall for our reception. The Main Hall was perfect for our vision and accommodating 400 guests. We also took pictures on their beautiful property as well. Shannon, Jennifer and the rest of the staff truly made our day perfect for us! If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, we can’t recommend the Olde Wicks Factory enough!

My daughter and son-in-law were married at Old Wickes in December and I cannot speak highly enough about it! The venue is absolutely stunning! The rooms for the bridal party to get ready in are spacious and comfortable. The wedding and cocktail hour was fabulous - my daughter loved that she was able to have a “progressive wedding” where those in attendance never had to leave the venue. The reception hall was spacious. The guests had plenty of room to enjoy the special day! Shannon and Jennifer went above and beyond the call of duty. They offered their assistance by providing recommended vendors names, keeping in touch every step of the way and were just genuinely kind and caring! ❤️ We HIGHLY
recommend Old Wickes!

We recently got married at Wicks on 08.10.2024 and could not recommended this team and venue enough! We mostly worked with Shannon who was extremely helpful in organizing and running our rehearsal walkthrough and day of timeline. This is a perfect one stop shop for everything you could ever need in a venue. We received many compliments from guests on how great/cool the venue is, and we couldn’t agree more!

Recently got married here on 5/11/24 and we had the absolute BEST day. If I had to redo it all over again, I would choose Olde Wicks over and over again. Everything was absolutely perfect. Shannon and Jennifer went over and beyond to make sure our day went flawless. A lot of people say that a lot will go wrong on your wedding day, but honestly I felt like everything went perfect. We chose to do our ceremony in the Grand Hall, then had cocktail hour in the Gatsby Room, then did our reception in the West Hall. It was truly so beautiful. The spiral staircase in the Grand Hall makes it feel like a fairytale. It just adds to the ambiance of the room. The bridal and groom suite were also perfect! We had a huge group of people, and it did not feel cramped at all. We also were able to get into the bridal suite at 6 AM, which was very convenient and helped us all be ready on time. Some venues don’t let you in until 10 AM so this was very nice! There was plenty of parking for all of our guests as well. It was the perfect venue and perfect day. I’ll never ever get over it. Thank you Shannon and Jennifer for everything! 🤍🤍🤍

Olde Wicks was the most amazing wedding venue we could have possibly imagined. From getting ready to our reception, we were able to have our whole wedding day at one location in three different halls. There was no stress over flipping any rooms, and our guests were never crammed into any room. The venue was so beautiful for our winter wedding, we have had so many compliments. Every hall is unique, but still cohesive. It is a very flexible space- you could choose to do minimal decor or really lean into your own personal style and the halls would look beautiful either way. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and I cannot imagine a more beautiful venue to suit our vision.

Additionally, Jennifer and Shannon were amazing to work with. We visited the venue a couple of times- they were always very accommodating, answered all of our questions, and even helped point us in the direction of some of our other vendors. They completely simplified the process and made planning and the day-of as stress free as possible. We were truly able to be in the moment and enjoy our day, while Jennifer and Shannon took care of everything behind the scenes.

My husband and I had the most magnificent wedding at Olde Wicks Factory. We did their progressive style meaning we moved through three of their rooms- Grand Hall, Gatsby Room, and West Hall. Our guests raved on about the beauty and the uniqueness of the venue! It was magical have a different “feel” in each room you moved to, but still the cohesive wedding vibe! The bartenders were incredible and the owners, Shannon and Jennifer, helped answer any and all questions we had. There are so many days I want to relive our wedding and count my lucky stars that the best day of my life and as at Olde Wicks Factory!
