The Cracker Factory was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the initial communication via email, which was always prompt and helpful, to the day-of execution, the staff at The Cracker Factory exceeded our expectations. Their beautiful, industrial space provided the ideal backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The team worked closely with us to develop the perfect layout, ensuring the flow of the event went smoothly. On the day, the staff assisted with vendor entry and attended to countless details to keep everything running seamlessly. We were especially impressed by the stunning vines along the side of the building, which had turned a vibrant red color for the fall, adding to the already gorgeous ambiance. Overall, The Cracker Factory was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a unique and well-executed event space.

We had our wedding at The Barracks Inn last month (Labor Day 2022). What a beautiful venue, the view can't be beat, the reception/dinner room is beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the drinks were perfect! The owner was so accommodating with all of my quirky plans - never complained, listened to what we wanted and made it all happen. We are picky so this is really something. The sound system is great - really over the top from what you would normally expect. Dancing on the beautiful deck that sits out on the water was heaven. We could have danced until dawn. I heartily recommend this venue and Kim (the owner) as "the" place to have your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, or just a party party! You will be very pleased with the whole process.

I am so happy I discovered this venue! The venue is gorgeous and Jackie and Danny were amazing to work with. It was amazing having the tent, chairs, tables, ceremony chairs, dance floor, lighting and bar already on site, that really took a huge burden off my vendor search. There is also a bridal suite on site that was perfect for getting ready in. Jackie and Danny had the tent, all the tables, and chairs set up and the site was beautifully landscaped. If I had to do this all over again, I would without a doubt pick the The Rosemary at Spano Lake!
