Exceptional experience!

The Foundry Art Centre was a beautiful venue for our wedding. We loved the large size of the space for our large wedding and the flexibility to choose our own caterer. Also, as noted in other reviews, the Foundry Art Centre is extremely flexible with letting you execute your vision. We wanted to do ice cream as a dessert and they didn't have a freezer, so they allowed us to bring our own small freezer and plug it in their kitchen to keep our ice cream frozen. Also, Paige, the event coordinator, is super wonderful to work with and very organized and responsive. She responded very quickly to any random question we had and was very open to meeting with us anytime we wanted to come visit the space. This alleviated a lot of stress throughout the process. Would definitely recommend the Foundry Art Centre if you are looking for a large, beautiful, unique venue with the flexibility to make it your own.

Paige is awesome!

Paige is FANTASTIC, she really couldn’t have done a better job. We got married on 5.25.2024 and had a Vietnamese culture wedding which she said she has never done but was absolutely open to. She asked great questions and let me bother her with emails, phone calls and scheduled appointments. She was very responsive to questions, preferences, and was a major help with the planning. Also, she was on board with a dragon dance performance.
