About

EXPLORE THE EXTRAORDINARY

Located in Harvard, Illinois, The Starline Factory offers an unparalleled backdrop for weddings and events. Once a working factory, this historic venue has been thoughtfully transformed into a collection of extraordinary spaces that combine raw industrial beauty with romantic charm.

Couples can choose from three distinctive event spaces, each offering its own unique atmosphere.

The Ferris Room welcomes guests with exposed brick walls, vaulted skylights, and thousands of glowing café lights. Modern industrial details — handcrafted bars, steel and wood doors, and ivy-framed windows — set the stage for both grand receptions and intimate ceremonies.

The Helm Room is a versatile space that blends warmth and creativity. A wall of windows reveals the building’s original boiler room, now a charming greenhouse, while antique factory pieces and soft string lighting create a magical, starry-night effect.

The 1883 Room defines “industrial romance” with its two-story layout of brick, wood, and steel. A salvaged antique bar and arched windows anchor the space below, while upstairs offers a private balcony escape overlooking the ivy-lined passageway.

For ceremonies, The Hunt Chapel provides a breathtaking contrast of natural and industrial elements. Original wood beams and exposed brick pair beautifully with antique pews, a historic pipe organ, and romantic candlelight — the perfect setting to say “I do.”

From rehearsal dinners and ceremonies to full-scale receptions, The Starline Factory offers a timeless experience filled with architectural beauty, artistry, and authentic charm.
