The Phoenixville Foundry

The Phoenixville Foundry is a beautiful event space located in Chester County. It is the counties largest venue with 18,000 square feet of space. The Foundry can accommodate groups as small as 20 and as large as 500.

An adaptive reuse of Phoenix Iron and Steel’s 1882 foundry building, the Richardsonian Romanesque structure has retained its original clerestory windows, furnace stacks and the large wooden jib crane. These industrial elements contrast with modern lighting, a large mahogany dance floor and a neutral color palette.

Outdoor space for ceremonies and photos includes the sculpture garden, blooming with seasonal color, and features a pavilion and examples of Phoenix Columns, a product of the old Phoenix Iron and Steel Company. The charming Phoenix Column bridge, a sample bridge from the company's bridge making division, spans the French Creek and is just steps away from the sculpture garden.

The Phoenixville Foundry is a great space for social occasions, business meetings and other corporate events. Facility and Events Director Bob Tomasso and Event Coordinator Joan Kelly can be reached at 610-917-8400 for more information.

Last December, we DJ'd and did the lighting for a big wedding at the Foundry. It was for our friend Joe of Joe Pulcinella Photography and his wife Cathy. It was a beautiful wedding and we were thrilled to be a part of it. It is always nice to be hired by a fellow industry professional for their personal events. Matt and Mike kept the dance floor busy and also up lit the room, did the couples monogram and pin spotted their beautiful centerpieces.

Here are a few images from their beautiful wedding. Thanks so much to Ryan Estes, Ryan Estes Photography and Linette Kielinski for the images below.
