“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”!”
