Celia Barbaro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2021 My husband and I are so glad we chose to have our ceremony and reception at Saugerties Performing Arts Factory.Such a spacious, beautiful venue, with a beyond amazing bridal suite where my bridal party and I spent all day getting ready. Bare bricks, modern decor, even a kitchen, we all said we'd love to live there! The rest of the factory was just as beautiful with high ceilings, white bricks, and walls of windows providing so much natural light. We loved experiencing both the industrial chic vibe inside, and the green, ethereal landscape outside. We intended to have our ceremony in the garden, however mother nature had other plans for us that day. Fortunately the venue is prepared with a backup plan for inclement weather, in a space still separate from the reception area as well! Very grateful Erica so quickly set up inside due to the rain, and luckily we still got to enjoy the beautiful outdoors for our cocktail hour and portraits. So many of our guests are still complimenting how great, unique, and cool this venue truly is. They also all loved the food!! Thank you so very much! Reviewed on 19-10-2021
Ariel Azoff(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2019 SPAF is an awesome venue! Between the fun history (it was a composition notebook factory!), the \"industrial chic\" vibe, and the beautifully landscaped grounds, it really has it all. Also great options for both outdoor and indoor ceremonies, so you've got your rain contingency covered. Erica, the owner and doer-of-all-things, was the best to work with. She event set up a special curtained area for our ceremony so that we could appear from behind it rather than processing up the aisle. The caterer she works with, Chef Chris, is awesome as well and the food was absolutely delicious. Erica is constantly improving the grounds so I imagine there are even more wonderful creations to behold than when we were there. I can't recommend Erica and SPAF highly enough!

Cheryl McKeever(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-10-2018 This is a fantastic space with so many possibilities. We held a charity Halloween party here and were able to customize the rooms to meet our needs. Erica Price was very easy to work with and went above and beyond decorating the venue to match our theme. The food was excellent and I was impressed with the vegetarian/vegan offerings. We are planning to go back again! Reviewed on 15-05-2019
Emily Mance(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-03-2019 My guests loved this venue. The space is large enough that no one felt on top of each other, but is put together in a way that it also feels intimate and warm. Erica Price was very eager to help me in any way possible and was a huge help in the last week leading up to the wedding. I didn't use a coordinator and she willingly stepped into that role of a day-of coordinator to keep everything on track. Everyone left raving about the food, particularly the vegetarian lasagna.
