Tidal Marsh Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very first interaction, Sarah and her team demonstrated a professional, timely, and organized communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work is truly exceptional - sharp, timeless, creative, and purposeful. Sarah captured all of the little details of our special day perfectly, from the rings and invitation to the final kiss. When the rain continued to fall, Sarah's clear umbrellas became the perfect prop in some of our favorite wedding photos. I look at the photos she took every day, as they hang in our entryway for everyone to see. I am so glad we chose Tidal Marsh Photography - their talent and attention to detail made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Booking Active DJ, specifically Martin, was the best money we spent on we our wedding!!! Let me start by saying he's just really easy to work. He has a calm demeanor, is a great listener, and provided us with prompt/proactive communication which we really appreciated. The month before the wedding we met with Martin and he gave feedback on songs/confirmed the vibe we were going for. Let me just say he absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! The dance floor was packed all night which was exactly what we wanted. Everyone has commented on how great he was, telling us that he was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding - we even had one couple go up to him before the exit asking if he would be open to playing at their wedding next year (HA!). We cannot recommend Martin enough!! He made our day so memorable not only for us, but our guests. He was one of the biggest highlights of our day by far.

HIRE ALLURE BLOOM IMMEDIATELY! This team was the best vendor duo I have ever worked with. We came to them 1 month before our wedding day and they were happy to take us under their wing so last minute :) They were responsive, easy to work with, and great at communicating. They adjusted certain items to fit within our budget, while still maintaining the vision we had in mind! I cannot recommend them enough. I was quite literally brought to tears on my wedding day when I saw what they had brought to life. It was beyond what I could have ever imagined and I am SO happy we found them when we did! The florals they created were beautiful, and I still have guests inquiring about who my florist was! They provided us with bridal/bridesmaids bouquets, table arrangements, bar arrangements, floating candles, and an arbor that was the most STUNNING backdrop for our ceremony. They provided helpful tips and suggestions to implement other elements into our design and I am so happy they did! We ended up incorporating fruits into some of our tables schemes and it was SO CUTE. The colors blended perfectly with our vision and venue. The two of them have immense talent and I feel so lucky that they were available on our wedding day. The whole day was brought together by the design/florals they put together and it made my wedding more perfect than I could have wished for! Thank you so much :)

I believe wedding photos should feel like you. The quiet in-between moments, the laughter with your favorite people, the unexpected emotions, and the timeless portraits you and your family will treasure for years. My approach blends documentary storytelling with classic, intentional portraiture.

We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s work. We switched things up and did a one year celebration of marriage party since we got married at the courthouse. I was worried I was going to make things difficult not being an actual wedding but from the very beginning her communication was confident, clear, and easy she made us feel so comfortable!

  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Since 2015, our brewery has been the perfect backdrop for hundreds of events including weddings, charity events, corporate functions, business networking and social celebrations! Ironclad Brewery is located in an historic building dating back to 1925 in Downtown Wilmington. The building was completely renovated in 2014, but we've maintained much of the character and integrity of the original building. Our brewers hand forge a wide range of craft beer and hard seltzers, using only the best ingredients available. In addition to our craft beer and seltzer creations, we also serve cider, wine, and spirits. ​

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Allows pets
  • All-inclusive venue packages

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No in-house catering options
  • No on-site bridal suite
Ironclad was the absolute perfect place to host our wedding! Rachel and the entire staff made everything so easy and the space worked perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. The price was all inclusive- to include the venue, the staff, and open bar for our guests for a designated amount of time and ended up being cheaper than it would have been had we purchased all the elements separately, and with the convenience of having everything (and everyone) under one roof! The ambience was exactly what we were looking for: rustic, yet dreamy- with twinkle lights everywhere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to say “I do”!
