Their communication throughout the planning process was quick, detailed, and incredibly honest - they made sure we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched, with so many unique options and things to do for all of our guests. We were blown away by the variety of stunning photo locations on their property, and they even went the extra mile to run to the local liquor store to grab a special bottle that the venue didn't carry. The entire team was 100% committed to making our day perfect, and they delivered in spades. From the delicious food that our guests are still raving about, to the calm and organized vibe on the wedding day, The Foundry Social truly exceeded our expectations at every turn. We planned our wedding in just 4 months, but the team was with us every step of the way, and I've never felt more relaxed and confident on a big day. I can't recommend them highly enough!
