Candlelit New York Wedding at The Foundry | A Metropolitan Fall Celebration

Oct 2

Some weddings seem to capture everything we love about New York, and this autumn celebration at The Foundry was one of them. It was a night that showcased love, intention, and storytelling set against the city’s unforgettable backdrops. With candlelight flickering in every direction and lush greenery surrounding the space, the evening felt intimate, warm, and deeply personal.

A Wedding Day at The Foundry

Nestled under the 59th Street Bridge, The Foundry is one of New York City’s most iconic wedding venues. This architectural gem blends industrial character with lush greenery, offering a setting unlike any other. With ivy-covered brick walls, a glass-roofed greenhouse, and a courtyard that feels both metropolitan and timeless, The Foundry is a canvas for celebrations that are as distinctive as the couples who host them.

For Tyler and Justin, who built their life together in Long Island City, just blocks away, the venue was the perfect choice. It offered the intimacy of a neighborhood gathering with the grandeur of a quintessential New York celebration, and a chance to share their love story with family and friends from near and far.

Candlelight and Contrast

Our team helped bring their vision to life with design that honored the Foundry’s raw beauty. Dark linens, metallic accents, bold furniture, and lush textures created a high contrast aesthetic that was cosmopolitan in feel yet deeply personal and romantic in execution.

The ceremony unfolded in the Foundry’s Main Space, framed by layers of greenery and industrial textures. It was personal, witty, and deeply moving, a ceremony that drew laughter, tears, and a sense of ease that carried through the rest of the evening.

As the sun set, guests moved into the courtyard for dinner. The weather was flawless, the kind of October evening New Yorkers dream about. Just after dusk, hundreds of candles began to glow, their light reflecting against the ivy walls and filling the air with warmth. Guests dined, toasted, and roared with laughter, and the entire atmosphere felt as if time itself had paused.

Later in the night, the group danced the night away and celebrated the grooms’ incredible love story. From start to finish, it was an evening that was unforgettable.

A Night to Remember

From dinner, the evening transitioned into pure celebration. Music filled the courtyard and guests packed the dance floor, raising a glass to the grooms and the life they have built together. It was the kind of night that felt cinematic yet entirely human, a gathering of people who came together not only to celebrate a marriage but to witness a love story that is rooted in New York itself.
