We’ll specifically focus on the recent shutdown of the Art Factory in Paterson, New Jersey, and what it means for all weddings, especially in today’s unpredictable climate.

Imagine planning your dream wedding for months, only to have your venue shut down unexpectedly. Many couples were left scrambling to find new venues just weeks before their big day, with deposits already paid and guests invited. It’s a nightmare no one should experience, but unfortunately, it happens more than we realize.
