Was here for a wedding. Absolutely beautiful, very rustic or hipster however you want to dress it up. Lots of space and great location with plenty of parking available.

A great venue that always goes above and beyond to accommodate me. I have worked 4 weddings there now as a DJ & Emcee and they are always so supportive from setup, through the events, to tear down at the end of the night. If you are looking for a unique venue to host an unforgettable wedding or event, look no further! The artistic atmosphere really embodies the culture of Stratford. Better every visit.

Really unique space for events. Rustic factory with lots of room for your own decor. I went to photograph a fashion show and for a clothing swap. Found some really nice lighting and backdrops for photos.
