Jim and I met and married in 2004 and in 2007 became the true definition of the "his, mine and ours" family. While both Jim and I have experienced successful careers for over 20 years, we have long felt the desire to build something of our own that would set about a legacy for our family. Our Story
In 2016 we began to feel the stirrings and desire to own a wedding and event venue. In 2020 we purch
ased 18 acres on Deer St., where the venue is now nestled among the large oak and pine trees. We would walk through this land repeatedly, visualizing and praying over our dream. We prayed for guidance and researched a name that would capture the vision we had for our venue. The decision for a name was not easily reached. We were looking for a name to reflect the values that are expected when a couple enters the sacred bonds of marriage, and The Foundry was established. Based on the root word found, meaning to set up or establish on a firm basis or for enduring existence, this name characterizes the very essence of the marriage bonds by providing a location that is designed to provide for an enduring existence. Let's just say that our vision didn't line up with God's timing, because it wasn't until 2022 that God's open door led to a new design and vision for our venue. Our original vision had been for a very large facility that would seat hundreds of people, but our new dream created a smaller, more intimate venue. This smaller venue allows not only a more intimate experience, but an affordable option for those who do not need to seat several hundred people. Family Mission Statement
We will relentlessly pursue Christ first and promise to love each other and others well. Entitled to nothing, we will work hard to earn all things. We will show respect, kindness, and grace as we serve the Lord and others. We are people of unwavering faith and substantial integrity. Built on family values, The Foundry promises a personal connection and a desire to deliver exceptional service and a quality experience to all who we are blessed to encounter.
