“THE FOUNDRY INTERIOR BOASTS 3,000+ SQUARE FEET OF RAW SPACE WITH A LUSH OUTDOOR COURTYARD, ROOFTOP TERRACE WITH VIEWS OF THE MANHATTAN SKYLINE, INDOOR GREENHOUSE AND FULLY EQUIPPED INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN.” When I read this on the Foundry’s website, I had to press pause for a second. Three thousand square feet? Raw space? An outdoor courtyard? A rooftop? In Long Island City? WHAT WAS THIS PLACE?
Turns out, it’s the Foundry, and it’s everything you could possibly want – and more. From the skylights in the getting-ready suites to the large private courtyard, this wedding venue is a perfect find for couples seeking a unique yet charming place to host their wedding. As a photographer? Especially one who loves quirky spaces, great light, and greenery? It’s a dream come true.
Also, a dream come true? Ashley and Alexandros. They’re funny, incredibly sweet, witty, lovers of family and friends alike, and they know how to throw a warm, welcoming event that brings everyone together under the stars and sky to celebrate. You two, it was an honor to celebrate with you and to document your day.
For everything you need to know about planning a wedding at the Foundry, my full venue guide covers it all.
