Wire Event Center – An Historic Wedding Venue On The Hudson River In Coxsackie

The Wire Event Center stands out as a premier waterfront venue situated in the historic downtown district of Coxsackie, New York. Recognized by Hudson Valley Magazine as the “Best Industrial Wedding Venue,” it is housed in a meticulously restored 19th-century iron foundry on the scenic banks of the Hudson River.

This venue masterfully combines rustic industrial charm with contemporary event amenities, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The facility boasts over 10,700 square feet of versatile indoor space, complemented by a beautiful 6-acre lawn directly on the riverfront. Among its main features is a spacious 7,500-square-foot area with soaring vaulted beam ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, and radiant-heat concrete floors for comfort. This area can accommodate up to 375 guests for elegant seated dinner receptions.

In addition, there is a sophisticated two-level, glass-enclosed space covering more than 3,200 square feet, which includes a wraparound deck offering panoramic views of the river—ideal for cocktail hours and social gatherings. Upstairs, an upscale private suite with a kitchenette, bathroom, and balcony provides a luxurious setting often used as a bridal or VIP staging area. Outside, the venue features an extensive outdoor space suitable for ceremonies, festivals, or tented events, all of which directly overlook the water, making it an ideal location for memorable celebrations.
