Whose Table Is It Anyway?

A few weeks ago I attended the Society of Wedding Planners, Whose Table Is It Anyway event at the Phoenixville Foundry. The Foundry is a beautiful space for an event - the architecture is amazing and I just love the light fixtures :). Definitely check it out if you need a venue for your next event.

At this event, some of the industry's hottest designers and florists create table designs in four different categories - Weddings under $10,000, Weddings over $10,000, Theme and Rising Star.

J. Scott Catering provided the food for the night. There was a sushi station and a delicious mini sliders (beef, portabella and crabcake), french fry and milkshake station. I may have had two milkshakes ...

Entertainment for the night was provided by Brandywine Valley Talent. Also contributing to the wonderful evening was Frank's Wine Mart, Sound Choice DJs, Shutterbooth, Blossom Productions, Wegmans Collegeville and Party Rental, LTD.

The tables were absolutely beautiful. I had a hard time deciding who to vote for - there are a lot of talented people in the Philadelphia area.

Winner in the Rising Star category was Laurie Sasko Designs.

Winner of the Theme category was Passion for Petals.

Winner of the Weddings under $10,000 category was Blue Moon Florist.

Winner of the Weddings over $10,000 category was Christofer + Janesson/Ilonka Floral Decorators.

It was a great night - SWP raised over $800 for the Gift of Life Family House.

Thanks so much to the talented Lindsay Docherty of Lindsay Docherty Photography for the images!

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.
