Art Factory brides looking for help after NJ venue closes

NEW JERSEY (PIX11) -- Art Factory brides are frantically making phone calls to try and salvage their weddings, all scheduled to take place at the now-shuttered Paterson wedding venue. 

The venue abruptly closed down over the weekend, and the venue’s owners sent a message to couples on Sunday night saying all future events are canceled. 

Several vendors and venues are stepping up to try and help couples re-plan their weddings. 

For any couples interested in discounted catering services and a venue, contact Scott Gersten of Willow & Sage Catering at 732-712-1287 or info@willowandsagecatering.com. 

For couples interested in hosting their weddings for free at Hinchliffe Stadium, contact Bryan Verhasselt: bverhasselt@rpmdev.com. 

Atlantic One Events in Atlantic City has recently reopened and said it can accommodate larger events. If interested, contact General Manager Elizabeth McGlinn at emcglinn@atlanticoneevents.com or by calling 609-701-2950. 

Consumers affected by the venue’s closure can also file a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. To learn how to file a complaint, click here.
