Took in our first Fever Candlelight Concert at The Cotton Factory and it was amazing! Loved the venue and the Candlelight created nice ambiance. The Coldplay and Imagine Dragons song selections were perfect and the fact a Quartet could sound like that was very impressive! We'll go to more shows here for sure
Just rented Gallery room, def will NOT go back there, they were not ready with signs at 330 at all no one can find the surprise party room no one was avilable when we got there tables broke on people while they were eating twice!!! I was 2 hours early boss wouldnt even reimbursed money as i paid extra just incase but didnt use i cleaned everything up place pretty runned down never again will i host a special day there! To be honest now krys the only person there was amazing I would personally give him 5 stars! 🌟 so thank you krys you was only good part of the rental! I would NOT recommend this place. For wedding or any gatherings!
10/10 recommend. Not only was the venue incredible and intimate, the string quartet was flawless! What a great way to enjoy a new form of music for two of my favourite bands! Look forward to attending again
