The staff at the bar were helpful and kind as i got an iced vanilla coffee. They also had danishes but the bad thing was is that they run out knowing that helpers would be coming through they should have been more prepared. The seating was nice plush and comfortable. i loved how the black had bro is walls, neon lights and palm plants. it gave it a vintage, chic yet industrial look.

As someone who was a bride at the Glass Factory, and PAID money to be a bride at this horribly run…read morevenue...it is ridiculous that my review was taken down on Google because I'm trying to warn other brides by sharing my own experience. Such a RED FLAG! Before we signed our contract, it was Clay who was the venue manager at the time and he was incredible. Six months prior, I reached out with a question then was shared that Andrea was the new venue manager. Two months before the wedding Andrea had such poor communication and there were changes with the venue offerings that were not shared with me until I asked for certain furniture but found they didn't offer those items any more. Such another huge red flag on your end as a venue to not even reach out to me to discuss or apologize for your horrible venue manager, Andrea, for her behavior DURING my wedding at The Glass Factory. Within minutes of leaving the ceremony with my husband Andrea barges into the room about a problem with one of my guests. Andrea shared that my guest was unhappy that she was not let in for the ceremony when I in fact instructed all vendors to allow entry for guests during my ceremony but to leave them in the back inside of the venue near the entry door. My family friend missed the ENTIRE ceremony and Andrea was so loud and disruptive during my first alone time with my husband. RED FLAGS. I asked Andrea for her to apologize to my guest and she said no. My husband had to tell her she needed to leave the room because she was causing me so much anxiety and I was on the brink of tears because she was stressing me out so much. Attached you'll find information sent from my coordinator to all vendors which included Andrea the venue manager for the Glass Factory in Jacksonville, FL. My wedding was in early March and the venue was fairly warm as well. Very unique venue but if I could do my wedding all over again, I wish I could have chosen a different venue due to my experience with Andrea and The Glass Factory. I beg you to never get married here!!!!

Lucas was nice when we went to view the venue. Once we placed our deposit things changed. He was…read morevery difficult to work with. He kept nickel and dime ing us. The day before the wedding he was setting up tables and refused to let us decorate in advanced while he was there setting up stating he needed to be compensated for his time (he already had to be there) he was drinking our liquor at our open bar and kept hitting on our bartender (who told us he made her uncomfortable)even though he had a wedding ring on. Advised me that we needed to pay extra money to use their sound/lighting equipment and out of 100+ weddings only one used the Their own equipment and lost the ability to play sound. Our DJ had all his own equipment and preferred to use his. He advised us against it citing their equipment was pre wired and was the only equipment that works (trying to charge us extra to use) I declined and our DJ had no issue whatsoever. Lucas is greedy and money hungry as he is the only one who sets up and cleans up the events. He acted like he had a team of people but no it's just him and you must pay him more money if you need the venue longer than 8 hours. It was extremely inconsiderate of Lucas to not allow us to drop off our decor the night before while he was setting up tables. We didn't ask him to help us unload anything just showed up asking to drop off decor and was told I would have to compensate him for his time there even though he was already there. He's nice up front until he gets your money and then changes.

Lucas was great to work with, professional, and offered some great ideas. Aaron, the sound engineer, was exactly what our rag-tag band needed and had us set up and sounding great in no time. There were approx 150 guests and we had plenty of room, parking worked out, the facility was clean and ready to go. I highly recommend 6th Ave North for any event and you won't be disappointed.

Greeted right away- wonderful server (super upbeat, friendly, knowledgeable, and personable)- also had great recommendations. Kicked off with HH drinks- dirty martinis and for a friend a mocktail. We also enjoyed fresh bread and butter and then the spinach artichoke dip bread. Wow. So dang good- soft and melt in your mouth bread with hot dip and cheese. Delicious. For our meals: Me- Crab bisque (yum) and cold lobster salad (also yum- lots of lobster). Friends- Also had the bisque, plus a ceaaar salad- one with chicken. In addition, a couple sides of fries which were very good. Offered and took a shuttle to our show (and back), which was a nice touch. Parking was also free/validated. Shuttle driver was friendly and also personable. Good experience all around- good to views to service.

The location on the 34th and 35th floor of the Wells Fargo building is breathtaking. The views of Jacksonville are amazing.

I have had 2 experiences with this business. One as the Mother of the Bride and one as a guest at a…read morewedding. I contacted them to get information about doing my daughter's wedding. I was sent a sample menu by the owner without even consulting her as to the specific foods I wanted to see on my proposal. She went through and chose things for me and threw it on a proposal expecting me to book. Once I explained to her my frustration with what happened, she explained that no one knows what they really want. I was appalled and decided that I wanted nothing further from them. I went with another caterer who thought it was best to listen to me and then give me a proposal based on what I chose. My second experience was at my neice's wedding. The ceremony was perfect, but when we got inside, I could hear the owner talking to her employees. I was at a loss of words that anyone would speak to another person that way. I was also shocked at how she spoke to the Wedding Coordinator, my other neice. I understand asking someone to do something, but to angrily demand a Wedding Coordinator to do something is unbelievable. The coordinator had a timeline for the event and the owner had her own timeline, which was not the same. The coordinator and the owner of the company seemed to battle over control the entire night. The coordinator tried to dismiss tables to eat, but then the owner decided that she was doing it. There were two more incidents that night between the coordinator and the owner. The food was ok. We were served from food stations. The quantity of the food we got on tiny plates wasn't the best. The plates were dirty and the silver wear was old and had dried water spots. I was anxious to try the shrimp and grits. The presentation was amazing. I asked the server what was in it and she told me grits, with bacon and shrimp that was fried in bacon grease. Uuugh...I had to pass on that. After both experiences, I am happy that I chose someone else to do my daughter's wedding. It turned out beautifully and without incident. Our chosen caterer didn't try to take over our event. She handled the food and let the Wedding Coordinator do her job.
