Wedding Entertainment at The Foundry
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for Long Island City's restored industrial gem.
Industrial character deserves a warm, human soundtrack
A meticulously restored 19th-century industrial building, The Foundry layers exposed brick and steel with living green — an ivy-walled courtyard for ceremonies, an indoor greenhouse, a mezzanine overlook and a rooftop with skyline views.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. Intimate, character-rich rooms reward musicality over volume: acoustic warmth in the courtyard, a greenhouse cocktail hour with texture, and a main-space dance floor that feels like a private club.

What entertainment costs at The Foundry
Entertainment for a Foundry wedding is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and custom lighting design.
Because every element is optional, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, guest count and the moments that matter most.
