Foundry

If you’re looking to book a wedding, and you are incredibly excited about that day, are looking for someone to thoroughly help you through the process and work with you, I wouldn’t go in this direction. I don’t Unilocal a lot, but when I do it’s because I feel strongly in 1 way or another.
I work at Nordstrom in HR, so customer service is incredibly important to me. The Foundry cares more about the $ale, then the person. So thoroughly disappointed with this place and their services — would not move forward with an event/​catering here. It is entirely due to the lack of customer service and follow through with the initial booking. I had booked a wedding date a few months ago after much back and forth, and some things changed in regards to our date– we needed to change it. What we were first told completely changed– from the deposit and money we’d be able to apply/​get back. We were ripped off. The communication with the sales manager was completely inconsistent. If nothing else, it’s just disappointing and you feel cheated. From the very beginning, the emails, the response time, negotiation around what we needed and what would be given, the food, etc. So not pleased. Additionally, we went to a tasting at Sodo and the food was cold, the fish was bland– I communicated this to the staff and informed her weren’t happy with the food for our wedding, tough luck. I also had a friend who went to a wedding a few weeks ago and just the food catered by urban feast was just «so so,» as well.
Bottom line, you’ll get passed off a lot, it’s more of a transaction then an experience, you’ll be communicated inconsistent information. Would not recommend. The sad part is had none of this happened, we’d be having our wedding here, but I care more about losing a couple grand then moving forward with this kind of service and experience.

If it were just vintage furniture and retro objets d’arte the Foundry would make a «Fan!» of me. They do so much more here though: restorations, repurposings and reimagineering.
One visit the Foundry showed an airline beverage cart converted to an in-​home bar, a full set of ten Eames plastic molded chairs (for a price that still makes me kick myself for not buying them) and a heavy glass top dining table built on an old metal drafters table — the entire surface swiveled up to save space or could lay flat for dining. Other visits showed original oil paintings, WWII era globes and restored tufted sofas from the 50’s with sumptuous fabrics.
Any visit here is going to reveal treasures. Don’t go though, I want it all for myself.
