About Our Venue

A One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Wedding Venue

The Foundry is a restored early-1900s warehouse on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland’s Flats. Once a working industrial foundry, the space now blends historic character with a unique waterfront setting for intimate weddings and celebrations.

Our venue offers flexible event space that can be customized with your own décor, catering, and lighting to create the wedding you envision.

Guests can also stay right on site in our two beautifully designed Airbnb suites with nautical-inspired interiors, just steps from downtown restaurants, hotels, and attractions.

Couldn't have done any of this without Judy! Her communication was unmatched and everyone's willingness to help was impeccable. Loved this venue for our wedding. It was perfect in every way. THANK YOU!!

Wedding Reception

We picked the perfect venue for our dressy-casual night prior to our wedding event… from the freighter passing by at the optimum time to placing picnic tables in just the right location for river views and guests' conversations

Sophia Bennett

Wedding Reception

The Foundry was the perfect venue for our Welcome Party! The indoor space worked beautifully for our rehearsal dinner… while the outdoor area was ideal for accommodating our larger guest list… One of the highlights was the river access—our out-of-town guests especially loved watching the freighters and barges float by!
