Iron Manor by Walters Wedding Estates provided an incredible space for our wedding day. The venue was elegant and modern, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. While the communication from the venue staff was sometimes great, Jillian, the day-of coordinator, took care of everything seamlessly. From the 4-5 month mark to the day, I didn't have to worry one bit about timing or logistics, as she ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The value we received for the space was incredible, and we're so grateful to the Iron Manor team for helping make our wedding day truly special.
