Entertainment shapes the flow and energy of your wedding day. From the moment guests arrive for cocktail hour through the final dance, music sets the mood for every transition. At The Factory at Walton Mill, professional DJ services are included in our all-inclusive wedding packages. You’re not adding another vendor to your list or coordinating between separate contractors. The DJ is already part of what you’re booking when you reserve the venue.
The DJ services set the wedding tone because they are fully integrated into the event planning and coordination. Included DJs work directly with the venue’s coordinator to manage timing, transitions, and key moments, ensuring music aligns smoothly with the ceremony, reception flow, and overall atmosphere without vendor miscommunication.
DJ Services as Part of Your Complete Package
Our all-inclusive wedding packages accommodate up to 250 guests with 14 hours of venue access. Professional DJ service is included along with everything else you need for your celebration. That means catering with six menu options, bar service with three customizable packages, floral and décor from JL Designs, day of coordination, and all staffing for catering, bar, and venue support. You get a customized floor plan, tables in multiple styles, including round, rectangular, farm, and hi top, plus stylish cross back chairs. Setup and cleanup are handled by our experienced staff. Here are the details of the package.
How Entertainment Fits Into Your Coordination
The day of coordinator services is part of every package. This includes an initial planning meeting when you book, a detailed planning timeline, a day of event timeline, and a final site walkthrough at the venue before your wedding. On the actual event day, you get full direction and management from the coordinator.
Because the DJ service is part of this same package, the entertainment works within the coordinated plan your team creates. Your first dance, the transition from cocktail hour to dinner, and the shift from dinner to dancing all happen according to the timeline your coordinator manages. You’re not hoping your DJ remembers to check in with someone from a different company. The coordination happens within one team.
The one hour rehearsal prior to your event gives you a chance to walk through the day’s flow. The 14 hours of venue access on your wedding day mean you have room to structure your celebration the way you want it.
The Venue Space and Your Celebration
This restored century-old cotton mill in downtown Monroe features high ceilings, exposed brick, massive beams, and wood floors. The grand staircase provides a natural focal point and photo opportunity. Multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, including the spacious gathering porch and patio, give guests room to move between areas during your celebration.
The venue accommodates up to 250 guests for larger celebrations.. The indoor ceremony and reception spaces work for full wedding days, and the bridal suite and groom’s quarters give you preparation space before the celebration begins.
Built in 1900 as Walton Mill for cotton spinning and weaving, the building closed in 2006 and sat vacant until we restored it. The industrial architecture creates a character you can’t replicate in a generic event space.
Additional Entertainment Options
Other entertainment options are available beyond the included DJ service. Some couples add live musicians for ceremony music or the cocktail hour. Others have specific entertainment ideas that complement the DJ. During your planning meetings, you can discuss what additional elements fit your vision. The all-inclusive foundation is in place, and you can build from there if you want to customize further.
Conclusion
Including professional DJ service in our all-inclusive packages removes one vendor contract from your planning process and creates integrated coordination on your wedding day. The entertainment is part of your overall package alongside your venue access, catering, bar service, floral and decor, and coordination. Everything works together because it’s all managed by the same team.
