The Foundry

The Foundry was perfect in every way. We worked with Taryn and she was wonderful -- she was always available to answer my crazy questions and really helped trouble shoot the inevitable mishaps on the day of the wedding. The space is beautiful and our guests loved the entire wedding. And the kitchen is a caterer's dream -- it's huge!

The Foundry is a beautiful space for a party. I didn't have my wedding there, but certainly would have if I had found it before I was married. My sister's sweet 16 was there, and it was phenomenal. What a space!! It's gorgeous on it's own, and can be used with little or elaborate decorations. It has a nice outdoor space and upstairs loft. It's not cheap, but what place in New York is? They also have a great list of vendors that have worked in their space.

Not only is the staff at the Foundry great, but the venue can't be beat. It is gorgeous and kept in pristine condition. It is a unique place to get married. I would highly recommend this venue.

Choosing the Foundry for our reception venue was one of the best decisions we made. The exposed brick, ivy walls and dual level structure created an non-traditional and intimate feel that was exactly what we were looking for. So many guests commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was. The staff and the Foundry was always helpful and the preferred vendors list they provided was invaluable as so many of our other great vendors came from this list.

I absolutely loved The Foundry - beautiful unique space - and the staff there were a dream to work with. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

What can I say about the Foundry that hasn't already been said?! Our guests spent all night raving about the absolutely gorgeous space, and the staff are so helpful and competent. I didn't worry about the venue for a second. We didn't spend a lot on decor, because I really wanted the beauty of the structure to be the focal point of the room. We had the ceremony indoors, with rows of chairs facing our "altar," the white curtains on the doors, and other guests standing above on the mezzanine. We inadvertently timed the ceremony at sunset, and the sunlight just streamed in. So beautiful. For cocktails, we went out to the courtyard, and then everyone came back inside for dinner. We had 111 guests seated on the mezzanine and main level, and even with the band and dance floor, everyone fit comfortably. We had the terrace and courtyard rented all evening, so people could go out and enjoy the breezes and views, but it ended up being a bit chilly so those spaces weren't used very much. However, the courtyard was great for the 5 little kids we had there to run around in uninterrupted. The place is expensive, but I really think the venue sets the whole tone and look of a wedding, so to me it was worth it.

The Foundry staff was great. However I do recommend that you hire an outside coordinator or an individual to oversee the event. They have too much to do to make sure that your event is exactly as you wish it

Very friendly & helpful staff whom were able to make many great suggestions. They went as far to invite all couples whom had an upcoming wedding to their new year's party which was very nice (& a great chance to scope out the venue further). The location itself is a beautiful raw space that needs little/no decoration to look beautiful, yet much can be done to make it look different. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a cool non-conventional wedding venue.

The space is beautiful and so flexible - you can really do anything you want with it. The built-in sound system is great for a DJ to plug into with an easy set-up. The new outdoor terrace immediately adjacent to the event space is fantastic - our guests really loved it.

Our 100 guests are STILL raving about how unique and gorgeous this venue was. We had our day ceremony and afternoon/evening cocktail reception inside (we saved money by having the wedding on a Sunday in August) and we did not rent the outdoor spaces because our guest list was on the smaller side. This space is truly one of a kind and totally suited the urban yet romantic feel we were going for. The women who we worked with (Allison and Julie) were responsive, pleasant and organized and their list of recommended vendors also came in handy as we were pricing folks out. Please note though that you are responsible for al rentals and that can add up (all chairs, tables, everything) but honestly this means you have the flexibility to create whatever suits you and your guests tastes. We did a non-stop cocktail party and were able to fit two full bars (one upstairs and one downstairs) with ease and there was enough seating in the alcoves and tables we brought in to make people comfortable. This was an incredible venue and we priced out and looked at many others (mostly loft space in NYC) – by far this was one of the best decisions we made – it totally set the mood for the type of wedding we wanted and was worth every penny.

The Foundry is an amazing space and I have no complaints about the venue itself. Taryn was extremely helpful in helping us learn about the details of how to best use the space. It proved to be gorgeous and we wouldn't have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else. They were very flexible and accommodating, letting us store things there the day before, being very responsive to emails and calls, and very helpful in the planning process. My only complaint was that during the wedding I could not find the Foundry staff and they even offered to assist by working as coordinator for the night. I asked Taryn to pay vendors for me, but vendors couldn't find her. That was the only thing and I'm sure she did a lot of other things to help make the wedding smooth throughout the night, as my photographer saw her emptying the bathroom trash throughout the evening.
