Where to begin? Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and it's all because of Iron & Ember and their amazing staff. My husband and I started our venue searching journey almost a year ago, and the second we walked into Iron & Ember, we knew it was the location for us. Between the subtle industrial, yet simple, classic, and versatile aesthetic, and the countless number of options- this venue was the perfect canvas. Not to mention, we had the absolute best coordinator, Kimmi, who quickly became a family friend, showing the utmost professionalism combined with genuine care for making our special day all about us! We felt supported every step of the way, with the consistent communication, reminders, and heartfelt support that Kimmi provided. It is 100% without a doubt, that the reason our wedding was as amazing as it was is a result of all of Iron & Ember's hard work! Reviewed on 12-10-2023

This venue was perfect for my July 2023 wedding reception, and I was so thankful for the wonderful experience I had with them. Kimmi was our event coordinator and was so fun, professional, and easy to work with as were the other team members I had the pleasure of meeting. As I was planning my wedding from out-of-state, I was very impressed with their flexibility, including arranging virtual tours and meetings as well as quick responses to emails to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. They also had great recommendations of other nearby vendors to work with which simplified our vendor selection process while ensuring we would love who we were working with. Our guests also had only good things to say about the venue, especially the ability to enjoy the nice weather on the patio and the view of the dance floor from the balcony! Reviewed on 09-10-2023

Every single aspect of our wedding day was seamless and utterly perfect! Kimmi is the most kind, attentive and hardworking person! She was incredibly detail-oriented and worked hard to ensure that she knew the layout of our decor, tables, timelines and more. Every little part of our day she knew just as well as I did, where everything was going and how it was going to be set up. She offered the greatest emotional, mental, and physical support throughout the day. She was in plain sight to be found for anything we needed and was stealthy and unnoticed tearing down and cleaning our venue during our reception. Tristyn and Emma both were there on our day and helped everything run so smoothly. Tristyn set up the tablescapes of our pinterest dreams and Emma was there to make sure everyone was where they needed to be all evening and made sure to care such great care of our family and friends present. Iron and Ember is a captivating space and speaks for itself. We had more than everything we needed getting ready. The guys suite it absolutely unmatched with the golf simulators! The bridal suite has everything you need for a perfect morning: lots of big mirrors, the coziest couch, big windows with stunning natural light. Everything you could want in a venue is here and everything you need in a team is here. Don't be deterred by their vendor list, they have one for a reason! Their vendors are AMAZING! We would never have found Jacquie's or DG Visionaries had it not been for their list. They know the space. They are of the highest quality. They will make a lasting impression. Iron and Ember is the perfect place for your event. We wish we could do it all over again just to work with Kimmi and her team again! Reviewed on 08-02-2023

I have sat on this one for awhile because it is truly hard to put into words how incredible our experience at Iron & Ember was. This venue was the first and only venue my husband and I looked at. The second I stepped inside I knew it was the one! Tristen gave us a tour and ended up being our venue coordinator and when I say she was absolutely made for this job, I am not exaggerating. She, along with the Iron & Ember team, made our day an absolute dream come true and then some. She executed every detail perfectly and was beyond accommodating to our vision and desires. From coordinating, to alcohol packages, to experience and detail they blew it out of the water. They were the kindest and sweetest people to work with. One of the best parts about Iron & Ember was the selection of catering and DJ vendors you can choose from. This helped me immensely because I was not overwhelmed with choices - they had narrowed it down to the best in the business and let me choose based on our opinions and what fit best with our vibe and personalities. The space was beautiful. The people were incredible. The day was a dream come true. I can confidently say that choosing Iron & Ember as our venue was the absolute best choice we made, in more ways than one. We walked away with memories that will last a lifetime, the biggest and best party of our lives, and a new found friend in Tristen. We would pick Iron & Ember over and over again in any version of this life. One billion out of ten recommend! Reviewed on 17-10-2022

The venue is the perfect combination of casual and elegant. Not only is the building beautiful, but the grounds are just as stunning and exceptionally well kept making for beautiful atmosphere all around. The thing that made the decision that much easier was having a coordinator assigned to us to help us plan and assist the day of. Tristen was phenomenal throughout the whole process. Being an out-of-state couple she made the process so easy and always felt like there was never a question too small that she wasn't will to answer. After every meeting we had with her we felt so reassured and excited about the day.

Everyone is very kind and helpful, communication was timely. Our wedding coordinator, Kimmi, was also amazing! We had two planning meetings in person which were very helpful. She coordinated communication between vendors when the wedding was close, provided recommendations, and ensured all details were decided prior to day of. They even helped with set up and tear down which I did not expect! This made things much less stressful on our families as well. The venue is on a golf course and parking is shared with them; however, the day of the event parking attendants were present and our guests had no trouble parking. Therefore, while this is a more expensive option (only reason for not a 5 star review), I highly recommend this venue for their excellent team and beautiful spaces. Reviewed on 22-06-2022

Kiley Garrity(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-07-2021 From the moment I stepped foot onto Iron and Ember’s venue space, I knew it was my dream place to celebrate our wedding in July of 2021. I had 7 other venue tours planned and cancelled them all immediately after touring and experiencing the beauty of this modern day venue. Iron and Ember is the perfect mix of classic and trendy making decorating effortless. I personally love diy projects so I went all out; however, this venue is timeless and stunning on its own and would require minimal decorating if that just isn’t your niche. My husband loved that it was on a golf course adding some masculinity to our big day. Our pictures and video turned out GORGEOUS with all the natural lighting and scenery Iron and Ember has to offer. I look at our pictures in awe to this day. This venue is BREATHTAKING! There are no other words for it. As if the venue itself wasn’t perfect, I would be remiss if I did not mention the staff that helped make our day run so incredibly smooth. Tristen was our wedding coordinator through the venue and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We could not have asked for a better event coordinator. Myself, my husband, my family adored Tristen from the very beginning to the very end of all the planning. She made all the cumbersome decisions a breeze. I might also add that our planning sessions were always fun and lighthearted but also completely productive, which as a type A bride, I desperately needed her type of personality through it all. I truly felt zero stress the day of our wedding knowing that Tristen had my vision and best interest at heart. She did an amazing job - I could honestly brag on her for paragraphs and paragraphs. We could never thank her enough for all her love and guidance throughout it all. A husband, wife, and Tristen were at the venue the day following our wedding to help with clean up. Clean up was so easy and the husband/wife that assisted us were a total delight - I wish I remembered their names. While it may not seem ideal that I & E has a set of vendors they work with, I found it to be one of this venue’s most wonderful accommodations. The amount of vendors can be quite overwhelming - so I greatly appreciated that the venue took all the guess work out of this part of wedding planning. We were over the moon happy with all our vendors through Iron and Ember’s top notch vendor list. We used Mills Catering and Ken Sorenson with Track7DJ. Awesome people and staff. I will forever be happy with my decision to choose Iron and Ember as our wedding venue. I recommend I & E to everyone I know who is in the wedding market. I will sing their praises for years to come.
