Ask anyone who’s been here — Foundry 45 isn’t just a building.

It’s a heartbeat in the center of Kewaskum.

Sure, we could talk about the things you see when you walk in — the exposed brick, the string lights that glow like stars, the polished concrete floors, or the bar stocked with local brews and craft cocktails. But what makes Foundry 45 special isn’t just how it looks. It’s how it feels.

It’s the energy that builds when the music starts and laughter fills the room. It’s the mix of small-town comfort and big-night excitement that you can’t quite explain, but you know when you feel it.

There’s something special in the air at Foundry 45 — and we’re finally ready to let you in on a little secret. While our team has been busy hosting unforgettable weddings, corporate gatherings, and celebrations this year, we’ve also been quietly building something brand new behind the scenes.

It’s creative, it’s useful, and it’s designed for anyone who loves the thrill of planning a celebration — whether it’s your wedding day, a fundraiser, or your company’s next big event.

If you’ve been scrolling through wedding venues, saving Pinterest boards, and imagining your dream day, this is your sign to see Foundry 45 in person. Photos can only capture so much — because once you walk through those doors, you realize this isn’t just a venue. It’s an experience.

There’s something about Foundry 45 that can’t quite be explained until you’re standing beneath the chandeliers, hearing your footsteps echo softly across the polished floors, and picturing your guests laughing at the bar or dancing under the lights.

When you walk into Foundry 45 today, it’s easy to be swept up by the laughter, the joy, and the celebrations that now fill its walls. But before it became the modern industrial-chic venue it is today, this building held decades of history in our community—stories of love, milestones, and countless unforgettable gatherings.

There’s something magical about standing on the edge of a new year. It feels like a blank page, waiting for your story. But here’s the secret no one tells you—those unforgettable chapters don’t just write themselves. They’re shaped by the choices you make right now.

At Foundry 45, we’ve seen it time and again: the laughter, the tears, the music, the toast that everyone still talks about years later. Weddings. Fundraisers. Corporate celebrations. Birthday milestones. Every event that filled this space began with a single step—someone booking early, daring to imagine the future before it arrived.

One of the most magical things about hosting weddings at Foundry 45 is getting to witness love stories unfold right here within our walls. Every couple brings their own vision—some go classic and elegant, some modern and chic, some rustic with a twist—but at the end of the night, when the last song plays and the twinkle lights fade, there’s one thing that unites them all: the wisdom they carry away from the day.

After the cake is eaten and the flowers are packed up, we often hear couples reflect on what really mattered. The advice they share isn’t about timelines or linens—it’s about the moments that stay with you forever. Today, we’re sharing some of the most meaningful words we’ve heard over the years, in hopes that they’ll encourage and inspire you as you plan your own wedding.
