Updated: May 25

Welcome to The Foundry on the Levee—Biddeford’s new modern-industrial event venue and home to my full in-house design studio and floral atelier. This is more than a venue opening. It’s the culmination of years of dreaming, designing, and building a space that allows us to create without limits.


Venue space

Where Design Lives at the Center


Our new design space inside The Foundry is the creative engine I’ve always wanted:


  • A full floral studio for lush, intentional arrangements

  • Space to build large backdrops, custom structures, and immersive installations

  • Lighting, draping, and décor capabilities designed to scale

  • A curated showroom where clients can touch, see, and experience design concepts in real time


This is the first venue in Maine with a full floral and design studio built directly into the space. It means faster workflows, seamless execution, and the ability to dream bigger—because everything we need is already here.


For couples, planners, and corporate clients, it means a level of cohesion and artistry that simply isn’t possible when design is outsourced or brought in piece by piece. Every detail is intentional. Every installation is crafted steps away from where it will be unveiled.


Office and Meeting space

The Venue: Modern Industrial Luxury on the River


The Foundry on the Levee spans 25,000 square feet of flexible, modern-industrial architecture. The space is defined by:


  • Soaring mill ceilings and exposed steel

  • Polished concrete floors and clean architectural lines

  • Oversized windows that flood the space with natural light

  • A covered riverside patio overlooking the Saco River

  • Open-concept floor plans that adapt to weddings, galas, retreats, and large-scale productions


With capacity for up to 600 guests, the venue is built for both intimate gatherings and major events. The flow is effortless, the aesthetic is editorial, and the space is intentionally minimal so design can take center stage.


Inside, guests will find:


  • A private getting-ready suite

  • ADA-accessible entrances and restrooms

  • High-speed Wi-Fi

  • A built-in bar

  • Vendor-friendly load-in access

  • On-site parking and additional parking for 600 within a 4-minute walk

  • Photo-ready architectural features at every turn


It’s a venue designed for beauty, functionality, and creative freedom.


Patio on the River

A Destination on the Rise


Located at 30 Upper Falls Road, The Foundry sits at the edge of a peninsula in Biddeford’s historic mill district—steps from the RiverWalk and Pearl Street Park. The area is vibrant, walkable, and full of character, with boutique hotels, breweries, restaurants, and riverside views that make it a natural gathering place.


With easy access from Portland—just 20 minutes away—it’s perfectly positioned for local and destination events alike. Guests can enjoy the charm of Biddeford while staying close to the amenities of Maine’s largest city.



Editorial by Design


Every inch of The Foundry was created with an editorial eye: clean lines, intentional materials, and a modern-industrial palette that photographs beautifully. It’s a space that elevates design rather than competes with it—a blank canvas with presence.


Whether it’s a lush floral installation, a sculptural backdrop, or a candlelit tablescape, the venue was built to showcase artistry at scale. This is where creativity becomes immersive. Where events become experiences. Where design becomes the story.



The Future We’ve Been Building Toward


Opening the design studio and venue at The Foundry on the Levee is more than a milestone—it’s the realization of a vision I’ve carried for decades.
