A Historical Venue with Contemporary Touches
A Historical Venue with Contemporary TouchesThe Foundry is a historically-rich wedding venue in Long Island City, NY. Originally used for manufacturing fine steel varnishes, this property has been carefully renovated to give couples a unique place to exchange their vows. Each event space at this picturesque setting boasts its own unique aesthetic, ranging from elegant to rustic. First built in the 19th century, The Foundry was actively operating until 1906, catering for the state’s riverfront needs. In 1980, the Du Val family carefully restored the building’s interior to celebrate its bygone era, and opened their doors to soon-to-be-weds in 2001. Visitors will now have multiple indoor and outdoor events spaces to enjoy their energy-filled celebration. The main space boasts an industrial chic atmosphere, with exposed brick surrounding the ground floor and mezzanine. Your ceremony altar can be placed in front of the large window for a lush view backdrop. Their courtyard offers brick walls covered in ivy that blooms during the spring and summer months. Up to 180 people can enjoy the views of the Queensboro Bridge from this breathtaking setting. For more intimate gathering, the Greenhouse offers weathered brick walls, a skylight ceiling, and year-round greenery. Cocktail hours can be hosted in either the elegant Albra Room, or the open-air Terrace, which both offer stunning views of the city. The team behind The Foundry will connect you with their list of trusted vendors, from decor rentals to caters, to complete your nuptial vision. Your culinary team will have full access to the onsite industrial kitchen, which has plenty of preparation space to perfect your menu items. At least three staff members will be present on your big day, to answer your guests’ questions and ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
