Come rain or shine or in this case--Hurricane Irene couldn’t stop Christina and Steve from having their special day on Saturday night. Stay tuned, as The Foundry has chosen them as September’s Couple of The Month! In the meantime, here is a great piece by DJ Dave…
The news of Hurricane Irene didn’t keep Christina and Steve from getting married and celebrating on Saturday night at the Beautiful Wedding and Event space The Foundry In Long Island City. In addition to the Marriage ceremony there was a beautiful Chinese Tea Ceremony where newlyweds are “officially” introduced to each other’s family and tea is served as a way for newlyweds to show respect and appreciation to their parents and elders. DJ Dave explained the meaning and significance of the Tea Ceremony to guests.
There was a montage played throughout the wedding on the large Screen. Here is a photo of the best man giving his toast during dinner in the main space.
After dinner(and photos by Mike Gross) guests returned to the Greenhouse space for Introductions, first dance, parent dances , the anniversary dance and cake cutting. Here is a photo of the bride and groom’s first dance which they practiced with a dance instructor prior to the wedding. The first dance song was “The way I am“ by Ingrid Michaelson.
The wedding was catered and conducted by Real Food Catering NYC. Yen, Gary and their smiling staff simply made this wedding happen with 1st rate food and planning!
Usually DJ Dave would set up in the Foundry’s main space but because of the pending hurricane some logistical changes needed to be made and he set up in the New Greenhouse space..it worked out perfectly. Here is DJ Dave at some point during the party.
The Foundry is a favorite venue of Expressway Music (as well of Many NYC Planners and Brides and Grooms). Aesthetically it is a one of kind space. Their staff, run by owner Allison Du Val is first rate…helpful and accommodating.
Many, many thanks to bride and groom Christina and Steven, Yen and Gary from Real Food Catering and Allison and her staff from the Foundry. We wish Christina and Steven a great honeymoon in Costa Rica!!!
