Magic in the heart of Long Island City

The Foundry is NYCs best kept, big secret. The space is gorgeous and whimsical. Every square inch is prettier than the next there are endless possibilities of what you can do with the venue that the sky is the limit. All angles are photogenic and charming. It's spotless and grows more beautiful throughout the day. There are multiple pockets at the venue that you can opt to rent for your event. Each unique room transforms your event into a new and intimate setting. Everything from the Main Space, The Green Room, Albra Room, and the Pool Room help ensure that your event is unforgettable. The Foundry has multiple terraces that are worth visiting and investing in as well. It's like finding a fairytale inside of Manhattan. It truly is a stunning contrast between the natural and industrial elements. Our guests can't stop raving about the gorgeous space and to us, it was a dream. Beyond raving about the space itself, The Foundry has two of the sweetest and most hard-working employees that represent the space. Angela and Lindsey were incredible from our initial visit right through to our wedding day. They are extremely welcoming, detail orientated, have a wealth of knowledge, and communicative. They quickly responded to emails, and patiently answered every question we had. Both Angela and Lindsey are the dream team that ensures that everything in the space goes off without a hitch. Both are so helpful and lovely, and an absolute joy to work with. Together they helped make our perfect day the day it was and as stress-free as possible. If you are considering this venue for your event, we highly recommend it. We know the idea of the raw space could be intimidating but having the opportunity to create an authentic space filled with all your loved ones is an indescribable feeling. Especially if it comes packed with a list of the best vendors in the city and the two hardest-working employees in the industry.
We love The Foundry and know you will too.

Perfection

We had the most beautiful, romantic, and dreamy wedding we could’ve ever imagined at the Foundry! Everyone was amazing to work with and super accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid. The best night of our lives in the most stunning venue!

Fairytale venue!

This is a very delayed review for our wonderful wedding September 29, 2018 at The Foundry! Angela and Lindsey were so helpful during the many emails and site visits to make my dream wedding come to life! The history of this space is palpable, and the loving care and maintenance does not go unnoticed. There are countless options for configuration depending on which spaces you use for ceremony, reception, etc. Our guests were truly wowed by the venue and our wedding felt like a fairytale!

It is no wonder it can be challenging to find Saturday availability, but the calendar on their website is extremely accurate. I kept checking dates and magically a Saturday in September became available through another party changing their date. We were lucky enough to have already done a tour of the space, so we were able to secure the date. If you are interested in the venue make sure you do a site visit, let the girls know, and keep checking the calendar!

I always love working at The Foundry. It used to be just down the street from where I lived, and now that I moved further away, it's definitely one of the things I miss. Beautiful location - great staff!
