The Foundry is located at 42-38 9th Street in Long Island City, NY. The size of the Foundry is 3200 sq. ft and it has a total capacity of 200 people for a reception and 125 seated capacity. In addition to the space inside the outside courtyard which is connected to the Foundry can be rented as well. The courtyard measures 30 x 40 ft, which makes it great for cocktails, weddings, and large sit down dinners, however this option is only available on weekends or Friday evenings. The Foundry Terrace measures 1200 sq. ft and presents a magnificent view of the Queensboro Bridge and the Manhattan's skyline. The terrace can hold up to around 60 guests.
The Foundry is an excellent representation of 19th century architecture. It was once called the Albra Metal Foundry; since then the place has been restored to its original industrial charm and character. Details such as the cauldrons, brick archways and chimney shafts have all been restored to their original splendor. The whole place sort of gives you the feeling of an after hour spot. Your ceremony can be held in the Foundry or the Courtyard; when performed inside, most ceremonies take place in front of the Courtyard doors but can be staged anywhere within the designated courtyard space.
There is a 1000 sq. ft kitchen that is outfitted with all the major necessities and is well equipped to suit all your catering needs. You're welcome to use any outside caterer of your choice or any professional vendor you'd like.
The staff at the Foundry will assist you with selecting decorations, musicians, DJs, florists and any other services you might need. You also have the option of bringing in your own personnel or company to handle your event. The venue's furniture is aimed more towards a lounge-like setting so your caterer will have to coordinate the rental of all the necessary tables, chairs, dishware, glasses, etc.
The Foundry is perfectly sized to suit an event of any size and nature. Hosting an event at the Foundry is easy because of the space's flexibility and elegant settings. You will find that the Foundry has the perfect mix of fun atmosphere and excellent service.

I attended a business meeting their with 100 or so of my colleagues and I have to say it was a great experience. The food was out of this world and the service was incredible. I hope to have another business meeting there in the next few months. Highly recommended! |
