“I am in Delta Zeta at UNCW and Ray helped us have the smoothest bid day celebration ever. From setup to takedown, he was kind, friendly, and attentive. He waited outside for all of us to drive off. The space is gorgeous, especially the outdoor area! I will definitely consider using Ray’s space for any future personal events.”

“I have photographed countless weddings at Ironclad Brewery - and it is hands down one of my favorite venues to work in. The building itself is gorgeous, with tall brick walls and dangling twinkle lights (which make every reception photo SPARKLE), with two floors of space to have a large OR a small event. The location is also incredible, walking distance to all of my favorite photo locations downtown, and directly across the street from a parking deck, which does not exist for most other venues downtown. Not only is the space stunning, but the staff really makes it what it is. Rachel will help you out from the beginning of planning your wedding all the way up to the wedding day, and the bar is one of the best in Wilmington. Excellent selection as well as a fully staffed bar (actually, two) so that your guests will never have to wait in line to get their drinks. Ironclad is the BEST!”

“I'm a professional photographer in the wedding industry in Wilmington, and I've known the owner Kelly for awhile now. We have worked together before for many photo shoots, styled shoots, etc. and she is ALWAYS a dream to make a vision come to life with. And now that she owns Maven Monroe, it's even BETTER. The space itself is stunning, and the perfectly clean, white space (photographers love this) with natural light available, it's an absolute pleasure to work in. And I LOVE that there's even TWO getting ready spaces on the property, and soon-to-be a back patio, too!! Don't hesitate to book Maven Monroe not only for the stunning venue, but also for the joy of working with Kelly. She will make alllllllll your dreams come true.”

Pave' 
Wilmington, NC
  • Up to 30 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

Pave' is downtown Wilmington's newest event space. We are conveniently located on the ground floor on Water Street (near Chandler's Warf)...just steps away from the River Walk and the Cape Fear River. We book it out from 9-4 or 5-10pm. We are going GREEN and not meaning just adding plants (but yes, more plants the better). No more wasting water washing linen/dishes. Our plates/flatware/cups are biodegradable (we do offer an eclectic mix of real wine/champagne glasses). No more 6 foot banquet tables. This venue is meant for social gatherings. Pave' is cocktail style so lounge if you like on the couch, hop up on a bar stool or stand and mix/mingle. We offer all the rentals. There is only one bathroom at Pave' so that keeps our numbers comfortably in the 25-35 range. This is the vision for Pave'. I have done traditional venues in the past but I thought it was time to mix things up a bit. Hope you like it. 910.297.6526 eventsatpave@gmail.com www.eventsatpave.com
