The Glass Factory is a reimagined industrial event venue in St. Augustine's historic district, housed inside a 1920s glass and tile manufacturing building with original brick walls, steel trusses, and polished concrete floors that create a warm industrial-chic atmosphere. The open main hall and adjacent courtyard garden accommodate weddings from 75 to 300 guests, with built-in Edison bulb lighting rigs and configurable floor plans that support any ceremony and reception layout. An open vendor policy gives couples complete freedom to bring in their preferred caterers and vendors, while the on-site coordination team manages venue logistics. The Glass Factory's authentic historic character and design-neutral canvas make it endlessly versatile.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from JACKSONVILLE NAS, 7.5 miles away.
