The Torpedo Factory Art Center, in Old Town Alexandria, VA is one of the most unique event sites in the area.  It is a Virginia wedding venue we have deejayed many times throughout the years.  Torpedo Factory provides an unconventional event space,  and is  located in the heart of historic Old Town’s Potomac River Waterfront area.

Whether you are planning a casual or formal event, the rich collection of fine arts and crafts displayed throughout the galleries at Torpedo Factory, can lend itself to weddings of many different sizes and styles.  The highlight of this venue is the building itself, “built in 1918 to manufacture torpedoes like the one displayed on the first floor, the award-winning renovation of this striking three-story building retains its identity as a former factory – complete with exposed pipes, ductwork, and smokestack – while taking a magical turn at night.”

Ask anyone in the wedding industry for a contemporary wedding venue, and you’ll be recommended to the Torpedo Factory.  This popular site includes a whimsical spiral sculpture staircase, balcony, and several areas that can be rented.  For “the view” of the Potomac Riverfront, tents can be placed right behind the art center for your ceremony, cocktail hour and more.   With so many options in this great space, it’s important to have the best sound quality throughout the space so we always bring our Bose speakers.  The last thing you want is to be limited by speakers or have tons of wires to take away from the awesome space.

We were there recently for a wedding and took a picture to show how seamlessly our DJ equipment and wireless Bose speakers fit at Torpedo Factory.
