There’s something undeniably alluring about industrial wedding venues. Maybe it’s the brick-covered walls, which hint at age, history, and romantic timelessness. It could also be the touches of wrought iron, which embed themselves everywhere from crisp beams that run along the ceiling to window frames that offer glimpses of the natural panoramas beyond.
In the Hudson Valley, the popularity of industrial wedding venues is hardly a surprise. Given the history and abundance of time-worn edifices in the region, the spaces are a natural fit for couples who want to honor the past and celebrate a new future.
