The Fremont Foundry

As a photographer, I love shooting at the Fremont Foundry! All the spaces are super clean and the amount of natural window light that you get inside the building is insane! Plus you have the outdoor ceremony area for summer weddings where you can look out across Fremont. It's really nice that they have multiple spaces within the same building because it gives some nice variety to the photos, and there are a few beautiful urban spots nearby including the Fremont Cut. The staff is super helpful and I've never run into any issues with things running smoothly. If you're looking for an urban venue with a lot of amenities, definitely one you should check out!

The Fremont Foundry is hands down one of the best wedding venues in Seattle! Its industrial style provides such a cool and modern aesthetic, while also serving as a blank slate that can be transformed into whatever couples dream up. Whether you're going for chic minimalism or something bold and vibrant, this venue adapts beautifully. One of the things I love most is the flexibility of the space. There are both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, so no matter the weather or vibe, there’s a perfect spot. The garden area and rooftop are especially stunning for a welcome or cocktail hour, with gorgeous views and plenty of space for guests to mingle. The staff is incredible. They’re collaborative, professional, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. Their team-first attitude makes my job as a photographer so much easier and more enjoyable. Another huge plus is the abundance of great portrait locations. Whether it’s around the Fremont neighborhood or right at the venue itself, there are so many amazing backdrops to work with. If you’re looking for a venue that’s versatile, stylish, and supported by an outstanding team, Fremont Foundry should be at the top of your list. I can’t recommend it enough!

Our wedding at the Foundry was phenomenal. Our guests loved the vibe and the space, and the food was a huge hit — we even had multiple guests asking who catered our wedding so they could book them for their own events. A special shoutout to our boy Joshua, who truly made our experience unforgettable. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and communicative with our day-of coordinator, and he assisted in making everything run smoothly. We got multiple compliments on how well run our wedding was. Thank you, Joshua for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day. Landmark is lucky to have you and I mean that! With much love - K & K

My couple and I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Colby and his team at the Fremont Foundry. From the very beginning, Colby was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding exactly what we envisioned. Every question we had was answered quickly, every detail was handled thoughtfully, and he consistently went above and beyond to make the planning process feel easy and stress-free. On the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly. Colby and the Fremont Foundry team were on top of every detail — from setup to coordination to last-minute adjustments — and we felt completely supported the entire day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering the Fremont Foundry, know that you’ll be in fantastic hands with Colby and his team.

I work with Landmark several times a year. The team that they have at Fremont Foundry is great. The banquet captain Kim was proactive and helped make sure the event was running smoothly. I appreciate Jason making our load in as easy as possible. -Prologue Events

We got married at the Fremont Foundry early last month and it was beyond our wildest dreams. Leading up to our wedding our venue coordinator Ruby was absolutely incredible. And the combo of her and the day-of team was perfection -- everyone had such amazing energy, made transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception seamless, and were true visionaries with set up and the details. The whole team made us feel so special on our wedding day and we were able to be 100% present while they did all of the behind the scenes work. The venue is obviously so stunning -- and it's a perfect choice for indoor + outdoor celebrations. We were lucky to be able to use the rooftop for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we loved having the courtyard space for guests to take a breather from dancing and also enjoy the food truck we brought in! 100% we highly recommend Fremont Foundry!! We are still beaming from our perfect wedding day :)

Seems like my last review might have been hidden by the venue, I got it back up but who knows when they'll take it down again, so here here is a less diplomatic review, short a sweet. I appreciate the Venue Manager I booked with, she went above an beyond, doing multiple tours with my family members and answers many silly questions. I will say that it was implied, if not directly said, that the U-park next to the venue could be rented out and the venue owner has contact information to do so. This was a fabrication we learned about after signing and we never got in contact with the Upark to rent it out. We did not hear anything from the venue for half a year until we were given our FIRST Event Coordinator (EC 1). EC 1 had us fill out a lengthy list of questions before our first meeting only to then ask those same questions during the meeting. This is frustrating because it ran out our time and we didn't even get to pick our linens, something I found out later should have happened at this meeting. Then, we received an email stating that we have a new EC, 3 months out from our wedding and EC #1 didn't leave behind any notes about our wedding at all. EC number 2 sets up our second ever event planning meeting, but then cancels it day of, simply saying that they've been hospitalized?!?! Finally, EC #3, Hailey Boop, enters this fiasco and get things back on track. This girl HUSTLED for us, answered dozens of emails same day, got us pretty much everything we wanted and genuinely felt like the weddings guardian angel. WARNINGS: The Foundry is next to a music venue that loudly plays music after 5ish pm and backs up to the dinning space (they share an ally). The sound was noticeable during speeches. The venue did not have working AC when we got married in August and does not "cool down at night" like we were told on our tour. You are required to use the companies Catering company and tasting are not simple. Turnover seems to be rampant at this company so you will be lucky to work with the same person twice. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. I was simply promised verbally that I would get a free extra hour at the beginning of my wedding as an olive branch after we found out we wouldn't be able to rent out the Upark next to the venue. So I sent out invites with a 4:30 pm start time only to be told by EC #2 there was no record of this and I would be charged for the extra hour! Luckily Hailey solved this one for us too, she was the one person who truly cared about us. The wedding day itself actually went really well, and the only Landmark employee I credit for this is Hailey. So the venue is fine, but maybe make sure to have a killer personal event planner. Also, I will start reducing my star rating every time one of my reviews get hidden. 3 stars it MORE than fair. Hailey is the only reason it's not 1 right now.

We had the absolute best time at the Fremont Foundry!!! It’s an absolutely amazing venue for throwing a party – so many of our friends had been there before and our high expectations were exceeded! One of the most important things for us was finding a venue “that had a space for everyone” and that’s EXACTLY what the Foundry provides. You wanna dance? It’s an AWESOME dance floor. Need a breather? Check out the courtyard or the rooftop. Want to be involved but just watch? There are various side-rooms and balconies to check out the action. Of course, another huge pro is that catering is provided in-house, so it made that part of the process so much easier. We also used their list of recommended vendors, all of whom are familiar with the space, and it made set-up on the day of the event an absolute breeze. We do need to respectfully acknowledge that communication with the venue was… a little suspect at times. They experienced a lot of turnover over the past year (as well as some pricing changes), and while we were ultimately very happy with our experience, we hope they can get back to some consistency so that all couples and events get a smooth experience! (A special shoutout to Brittany who stepped in for our last month and really brought things home for us, thanks friend!!) Overall, we are so glad that we picked the Foundry and we hope you consider them for your event!!

Cool venue for an event. Great staff. Attended a wedding here and really enjoyed it. They did a very nice job in all respects.

Terrible food, lame drinks, dour staff, and poorly maintained facility. Bartender denied mother of the groom a Gin & Tonic because it wasn't on the menu? WTF! There's the gin, there's the tonic what's the problem here? In my view a Total disconnect between concept of hospitality, overly zealous management bent on placing policy over experience and the omnipresent threat posed of losing one's job. I encourage you to look elsewhere for your events. This group does not care about you, they just want your money and to deliver the cheapest product possible without evoking a true assessment by the client as to what they just paid for. The holds true for any Landmark event space. The Ruins in particular is a shell of its former self . . . behind the scenes it's a pigsty!

Oh I LOVE this venue! It has this urban, rustic feel to it! You can't take bad photos here. If you are a bride wanting a really cool location with photo ops in every corner this is the spot!!

Fremont Foundry Events saved us. We had to plan our wedding in under 3 weeks and when we found Fremont Foundry Events had availability on our date, little did we know at the time, we completely hit the jackpot. These guys know what they are doing, not only that, they are kind and thoughtful in the process not skipping a beat on anything. They weren't frazzled at all with our timeline and even our request for a full vegan dinner menu and special allergy-free meal options for the kids. Thanks to them, we were able to pull off a wedding of our dreams in such a short period - a wedding everyone will be talking about for years to come. It was flawless and beautiful and we couldn't have asked for anything more. They went above and beyond and I can't recommend this venue for your next event more. You're in good hands!

(We came here for the Hendricks event) But the Foundry is a very beautiful space. Very spacious, with different rooms feelings atmospheres and beautiful. Wish we could've seen the rooftop though!!!. We will consider it when we get married that is if we don't run off and elope in private, lol. Hendricks Grand Garnisher: 5 freaking stars. I want to tell you all about it, but I wont. The anticipation of not knowing was probably made it even better! I was admittedly frusterated bc I wanted to know what we were going to, but... they fed us, fueled us w delicious gin, entertained us on SO many levels and after everyone had a few people opened up and made alot of new friends & aquaintances with very different walks of life and that is kinda priceless. Life is about experiences for me personally and this was a slice of heaven. Thank you Hendricks, we may just see you in Portland, lol. We went not knowing what it was about. And I believe that, if you 1, like to meet new people, 2, like experiences&adventure, 3, like gin.... trust me, Go! Best 12$ I ever spent.

I have to admit that I was nervous to come here based on another reviewer's apparent negative experience. But not only does the business' Yelp page provide a lot of information about the space, so does their official website (linked off said Yelp page). I wrote in to request an appointment about hosting an event and it was responded to not just with an email, but a phone call first. The email came after I missed the call due to a work meeting. Our meeting lasted about 40 mins (only because I had to dash) but I was given not just a tour of the entire building, because it's actually a lot of unique spaces put together, I was also given a history of the building and effectively, a history of Fremont. This space is absolutely incredible. As an event planner in Seattle, it's one of the most memorable tours of a space I've seen in 5+ years. I could easily see one or all of the spaces being used for corporate events, industry events, art parties, and of course weddings. You could just about do anything here! Depending on the layout and the spaces used, you could host 10 people or nearly 800. They have an actual cook-in kitchen, a bar/service area, and moveable walls to create and customize the event. There's a built-in sound system that works in all or some rooms, depending on the need, and there are gorgeous industrial touches everywhere. Lots of wood, concrete and metal. Outside there's a patio with lights that zig zag across the yard, space for food trucks or carts, and more. You could really do anything here. It seems to me that whoever decided to open this space as an event rental space has a ton of experience. I left the meeting with a pamphlet that clearly outlined prices per space, package deals, weekend versus weekday pricing, and more. One of the best features here? 6 weeks before your scheduled event they calendar in a time to sit back down with you and go over final details. Way to put you at ease! They also offer you access to software that allows you to drag/drop things into the blueprint of the space to better understand your own layout. Tables, tents, chairs, etc. It's amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better tour and am now absolutely dying to get into this space for a party. I also sorta wanna get married here... Which is crazy because I have had my heart set on another space for years. Holy headspin!

I absolutely LOVE this space! There are so many amazing possibilities from the picturesque rooftop, on a perfect PNW evening, to a clear dance floor with LED lighting glowing from below. Both Jessie and Megan are always super easy to work with and do a great job of ensuring all the details are taken care throughout the entire process. Trust me... take a look at this location regardless of your event, I am sure you will find something you love here.

The Fremont Foundry was an awesome establishment. Our company held a Tedtalks and the sound was very good. The building has a lot of cool rooms and really bring back some history. We will be looking into the Foundry for future events.

I loved working with Fremont Foundry! We had our wedding here and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made. The location is phenomenal, the space was perfect for our needs and allowed us to have several different areas during the wedding - an outdoor cocktail reception, a beautiful ceremony space, a great location for dinner and dancing, and a perfect spot for a sparkler grand exit. So incredible! I think what was even better than the space itself was the people we worked with. Dani and Holly were AWESOME and helped us to plan and coordinate the entire day. These two are special people working with folks on one of the most amazing but also most stress-inducing days. I loved them, their kindness and patience, and their great ideas. Hands down, a great group to work with and one of the most beautiful venues in the Seattle area! Thank you for being such a critical part of making our day so great!!!

Get this place an elevator! Beautiful spot for a wedding, staff was wonderful but I witnessed multiple people at the wedding I attended have to trek up 4 flights of stairs to attend the rooftop ceremony. The fact that events are held on the (scenic) I'll give it that, rooftop, means this venue is NOT ADA accessible. I watched a woman with a broken foot, another with a walker, as well as someone in a wheelchair try and figure out how they were going to get up there. There are also no restrooms on the top floor. Something to think about before you book! All that said, the wedding was lovely. But just seems like a high-end venue such as this should have a better way for all guests to enjoy events.

Loved this venue. My boyfriend and I are seriously considering this for whenever we get married (we have to get engaged first, sooooo...) Love the huge chandelier and the see-through floor paneling towards to back of the main room.

My office is in the neighborhood and I have attended other events in this space, so when it came time to throw a company party choosing the Fremont Foundry as our venue was a no brainer. The space can accommodate over 800 people, but we only were expecting a couple hundred for our event. Fortunately the building layout allows them to rent either specific sections or the whole building. For our needs we chose to just use the atrium, which worked out perfectly. The staff was super helpful and flexible with all our requests. They met with us on two separate occasions to first tour the space and then later to help us lay out the event. They used some software to build a floor plan, put us in touch with vendors and assisted with our needs on the day of the event before, during, and after. One nice thing was that they already have a nice sound system with wireless mics in the space, which we were able to plug into for announcements and to play music. They also have some lighting features built in which can change color to match the theme and some other lighting elements that we rented directly from them. This reduced our overall cost as we didn't have to rent a bunch of expensive equipment from another vendor. Our guests were very impressed with everything, even commenting that it was the best company party they'd ever been too. 10/10 would use this space again.

My husband and I got married here in November and we were beyond impressed with both the space and the service. You can't ask for a better location for a wedding or other event, with easy access to both downtown and North Seattle, and the space is huge and truly beautiful. This is a very busy venue that is used for many private and corporate events, but despite a crazy schedule, Dani and Holly made sure that everything got done perfectly. It was a pleasure to work with them both and we had several meetings over our year (plus) of planning to make sure that every detail was accounted for. We had a live band and the sound quality was great. We used Fremont Foundry's bar services (unlimited beer and wine package) and they provide a choice of local craft brews and Washington wines, all of very good quality. The staff of this venue truly care about creating a superior product for their clients. They are attentive to detail, flexible, and helpful with budgeting decisions. Our wedding day was beyond wonderful and we are so glad we chose Fremont Foundry!

Wow, did we hit the jackpot with Fremont Foundry. With a wedding in October, we knew that weather could be an issue, so we were looking for a place that could be entirely indoors, but could fit our crowd of 115 easily without feeling crammed. The Foundry was the perfect spot for us. The rooms transitioned well from each section of the wedding, and the space is simple, yet so unique in its own way. It didn't take much to decorate it because it was already such a cool space! But the best thing about the Foundry was the staff. We worked really closely with Jess and we are so grateful for her help, patience, and support throughout our year of planning. She was always responsive, and worked with us to ensure things remained within our budget while still having the perfect day. We can't recommend the Fremont Foundry enough. It is beautiful, unique, and the perfect wedding venue from start to finish.

Had their IPA & it was $4 only! Happy hour worthy! I had falafel fries and it was fun to eat. I appreciate their euro patio. It felt like Germany! I look forward to trying out more beers & vegetarian appetizers

Very cool place. There was plenty of space here for so many different kinds of events, and the rooftop area was great with nice views of the Aurora Bridge and the Fremont Bridge (when it was up). This venue could hold quite a few people and is updated and modern. I'm giving 4 stars as the main level seemed very warm. Lots of people there today, so not sure if the coolers were just not turned all the way up or not, but that was my ONLY critique of this event center.

This venue is gorgeous! several huge rooms, a catwalk, and large rooftop area are just a few things that make this place not only unique but ideal for your event! I was at a 600 person event and the Fremont Foundry had no problems accommodating everyone - there was plenty of space to go around. I loved the see-through floor with the fern forest below - delightful!!

there is no ac here. am currently sweating my face off. but the wedding i'm at here is beautiful.

Venue is amazing... Great place for gatherings in Fremont! Went to Yelp Fremont event and it was legit. Building is very modern and comfortable. Would think this would be a great event space. My guess would be is that owners are selective of what goes down here. I don't blame them, the space is deserving of well planned events only.

I have both attended events here- so much fun! and Designed flowers and decor for weddings and events here (through my biz, Juniper Flowers) Such a good space with lots of character. I love the location and the people there are easy to work with. Check out their space!

This is such an amazing and versatile event space. You could seriously host just about any type of event here from wedding receptions to private tasting events, I'm sure these guys could make it happen for you. The layout is pretty awesome with three floors filled with so many different types of usable spaces including both outdoor and indoor areas. The highlight of the building just might be the rooftop patio which is huge and features some pretty awesome views of the Fremont area. Even the courtyard entry way is laid out beautifully and helps to really make this a one of a kind destination. All I can say is if you have a chance to attend any sort of gathering or event that is being held here, you definitely want to make it happen.

I would have loved to review the actual venue and space; however after repeated attempts to obtain information from Fremont Foundry, including a price quote or time to take a tour, I gave up after 7 weeks. I initially filled out their online contact form, waited two weeks and never heard back. I then called the number listed and left a voicemail and when I hadn't heard back after 4 days, I found a contact email and sent them an email. After two days of sending the email, I finally received an initial email back, apologizing because it was the holiday season and they were extremely busy. I completely understand that...however, I quickly sent back an email with a few more questions, and that was a month ago...and never heard back. Meanwhile, we toured numerous other venues and have already decided on another venue for our wedding. While we are quite happy with our choice, it's too bad about the Fremont Foundry not getting back to me, as the photos look like it is a beautiful place!

Very nice venue and event we were at was so fun! The Foundry was very cool yet could be used for so many different types of events, very versatile! Thanks to Yelp for promoting and putting on such a great evening!

What an amazing space for an event. Beautiful interior and amazing rooftop deck. The catwalk around the main floor is a really cool addition and the lighting fixtures are unique and fancy without being over the top. Would highly recommend The Foundry to anyone having a party, wedding or event.

I recently attended a Yelp Event at this location. It's a lovely building with lots of character and interesting architecture, and I loved the courtyard. From the pictures, I see that there is a rooftop deck but, unfortunately, it was not open during the event I attended. The reason for 4 Stars is the ladies bathroom... The ladies room only had a couple of stalls and no ventilation. I realize this is an old building, but the bathrooms really seemed like an afterthought.

After posting this, the venue reached out to inform me that have now created a comfortable space for nursing mothers. I'm grateful for their effort and hope others can benefit from this space!

Beautiful venue with a ton of space. Upstairs deck was gorgeous. Perfect venue for a wedding or an large family get together. I will definable be back.

Went to the event and it was amazing! There was allot of great venues and met allot of people, food and drinks were good, my wife got her t-shirt sprayed and the guy had talent, also the photo booth is neat thing to bring to a family event to take some silly photos, had a great time and lots of positive people there to make it alive! Hope the next one is as good and bigger

So the Fremont Foundry just opened in the downtown Fremont area a few months ago. Having been to six weddings/events this season (with three more to go), I am feeling like a professional (drunk) party goer. The good: the space itself from top to bottom is absolutely fantastic!! The main floor is more industrial with clean lines and spacious areas for the guests to congregate. The roll up doors let in much needed cool air and added another element to the space. The space used for the dance floor was awesome. It was glass see through blocks on top of a terrarium pit. Very cool when uplit. The only thing that was better than the ground floor was the HUGE rooftop deck!!! Even though the day was a little overcast the view and spaciousness were just fantastic. The almost 200 guests were able to spread out and enjoy a few glasses of wine while they reconfigured the room downstairs after the wedding ceremony. Very, very cool area with an expertly done penthouse to boot. The less than good: It was a little warmer in the space than totally comfortable. The sweat dribbling down my back during the ceremony was the only thing that kept this from a 5 star rating. I can't even call it bad . . . . .just less than good. Also be aware that to get to the rooftop deck you will need to climb a few stairs. Later, I was definitely ok with the extra exercise as I made a total pig of myself from amazing catered food. :) All in all this space rocks!! Great elements will make this venue a force to be reckoned with in the Wedding wars. Great lighting, acoustics, indoor and outdoor spaces means that it should be around for a long time to come!! Great job!

Really bummed about the horrible service from this place. My fiancé and I were searching for wedding venues, and the pictures of this place were great! However, I basically had to stalk the staff in order to set up an appointment for the viewing. After 4 phone calls and 2 email attempts, I finally got a hold of Kierah. We saw the venue and really loved it. Kierah blamed the communication problems on the fact they were busy with events that month. We decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and asked for a proposal because the venue was gorgeous. After a week, I hadn't heard back so I reached out again. We were really interested in booking the foundry for our wedding. A month later, I still have yet to receive a response. Needless to say, we will be going with a different venue. Really disappointing experience and I would never recommend to anyone, especially for the most important day of your life.
