A Wedding Venue Gem with Historical Roots
A Wedding Venue Gem with Historical RootsThe Felt Factory is a historic wedding venue located in Philadelphia, PA. This industrial building marries a vintage aesthetic with modern amenities. Originally, this establishment was a staple of the community, the whirring sound of machinery contributing to the livelihood of the neighborhood. This property has experienced a beautiful transition from The Frogmoore Mills into The Felt Factory. The establishment was powered by steam and water, using the energy produced from the Frankford Creek. As the Frogmoore Mills, this venue stood proudly as one of the only felt mills in the entirety of the United States. The Philadelphia Felt Company held residence in the building from the 1920s to the 1980s. It was following that point in time that the venue assumed the identity of The Felt Factory by Romano’s Catering. The Felt Factory has maintained an industrial chic feeling.
