From the reviews

My daughter recently got married here. The experience was awesome. The owner was pleasant, very accommodating and a sweet lady. The staff was great as well. The host-a litttle Pinoy young lady- I can't remember her name, was the best. Also another young lady Erika, I don't know her role- was great too.

The Foundry was an absolute dream venue for us. When we were researching venues, we almost didn’t go visit because we knew that we would likely be in love with it in-person even more than just from the photos and we were worried we wouldn’t be able to make the budget work.

Every corner of the Foundry feels like it's MADE for wedding photos. As wedding photographers at Megan & Kenneth, we couldn't be more obsessed with this venue. From the gorgeous Du Val Suite with skyline views, to the courtyard with cascading ivy, to the indoor and outdoor architecture...

i photographed a wedding here recently and can’t say enough good things about the foundry! pro staff, wonderful ivy everywhere, and natural light to die for. as a photographer that trends toward more creative images i was tripping over myself with new ideas. ig @iamthesam

Getting married at The Foundry

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
