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. ​

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 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.

My partner and I loved booking with The Green House. We're very passionate about sustainability and Anastasia's team did a fantastic job putting together a unique vegan menu with awesome natural wine selections. Our photos are gorgeous around their dining room. They also compost all of their food waste, which is awesome! We loved working with them and would host an event here again!
