Iron City Bham

eption, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it was!

true. Even small details such as having our favorite Birmingham beer available at the reception for the wedding party to having a dinner waiting for my husband and I when we got there after the ceremony (Mac n cheese bar included), Iron City has thought of it all. We never heard a "no" from Michelle. She was willing and able at all times to meet with us, work with our vendors, and listen to all our ideas! I loved getting to know Michelle over the course of wedding planning and get to know her heart for this business. I have received so many compliments on the venue (especially the food) and am so thankful we chose Iron City. Thank you Iron City for making our wedding day "stress free" and for making wedding planning without a wedding planner easy! From my mom: My daughter’s wedding was at Iron City on March 3, 2018 and it was perfect! My daughter and now husband mentioned Iron City as a possible reception location months before the engagement. When it was time to select a venue, there were only a few places in town that could accommodate our anticipated party of 300-350 and also be inside. After talking with Michelle we knew we would be in good hands. We planned the wedding ourselves from out of town and obtained top quality vendors from Michelle’s recommendations. Michelle gave us great advice on table layout, food and many other topics. Although we had a large group, Iron City did not feel crowded and looked amazing. Our guests also utilized the upstairs balcony which still allowed great views of all activities. On the day before the wedding we dropped off all the decorations, such as pictures, napkins, sparklers, and koozies and Michelle and her team set them up. The wedding was at a local church and when I walked in to Iron City afterwards everything looked better than I could have imagined. During the evening Michelle and team handled everything flawlessly. I did nothing but enjoy the evening visiting family and friends, celebrating the couple and have I said the food was amazing? Everyone loved the mac and cheese bar and sliders. The downtown concert vibe was a perfect match for my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding and I am exceptionally thrilled with how Michelle and all the Iron City team helped plan and execute their wedding vision.

dding. I cannot recommend this venue enough! My husband and I live in Arlington, VA, and made only 3 trips to Bham in advance of the wedding. It was clear from our first meeting with Michelle that she was extremely professional, cool and collected and those were the vibes that we wanted from a venue and coordinator. All of her vendor recs were on point and she was flexible, knowledgeable, direct and accessible. The actual day of the wedding was such a whirlwind and when we arrived at Iron City and saw Michelle waiting for us at the back door, we couldn't have been more relieved. Everything was perfect, our guests had an amazing time and couldn't stop talking about the venue, the band (Papa Sol, who Michelle recommended) and the mac n' cheese bar! My husband and I are still talking about how perfect our wedding day was and how we wish we could do it all over again. Michelle even made our dreams of having Tequila shots served on the dance floor during the band's rendition of "Tequila" a reality! For a wedding size of 150+ this is the perfect venue. Thanks to Michelle and the team at Iron City, we'll have the most wonderful memories to share for the rest of our lives.

She was amazing to work with. She was available and quickly responded to any questions or concerns throughout the planning process, in person, by email or phone calls. There is plenty of space for quests. The bridal party has lots of room to relax separately and to get ready for the ceremony. It snowed on Friday Dec 8th, the day before our event. Michelle was on the phone checking in with us. She helped keep what could have been a stressful event calm. Even with the weather, on Saturday Dec 9th the wedding went off without a hitch. We were able to get our vendors in on time. Michelle was also our day of coordinator. We could not have been in better hands. The food is excellent. More than one guest commented on how delicious everything was. We choose as part of our menu the Southern Macaroni and Cheese Bar. Guests raved over it. We were able to have the intimate ceremony Melanie and Gehrig wanted and quickly transitioned to the party mood for the reception. The sound system is great. The wedding was beautiful and everything we wanted it to be. Every employee we encountered whether it was a scheduled visit or spur of the moment was helpful and easy to work with. We are so happy to have been able to meet and work with the wonderful people at Iron City Birmingham and highly recommend this venue.

n City is not your traditional reception/banquet style space and that is what we loved about it! It just felt like one big party with all our closets friends and family. Michelle and the rest of the iron city team were so helpful and made sure the night flowed perfectly. If I had to do it again- I would choose iron city, every time!! So Fun!!

nd helped to keep us on track. She is very easy to work with. It was wonderful getting to work with her for the reception as overall I was planning my entire wedding right down to even making my own centerpieces. I truly didn't need a coordinator otherwise. If if had to choose a venue all over again, I definitely would go with Iron City again. Our guests raved about the venue and food. All of my expectations were met ten fold! I can't wait to see the video and pictures!

e really is perfect for wedding ceremonies, and everyone told us what an amazing time they had! we would recommend this venue for anything really, but especially for weddings. thanks for making this so easy and so fun, iron city!

our family coordinating the reception. There was nothing Michelle couldn't do for us and she was so upbeat and excited every time we spoke with her. Her response time beats all other venues which is so important especially close to the day of. This is the perfect location for any large wedding. There is ample space for guests to roam and enjoy their time. The food is impeccable and my guests are still talking about how unique the venue is. If I could do it over, I would absolutely choose Iron City for my event every time. Thank you Michelle and staff - you guys were AMAZING!

Everybody who works at Iron City is hyper-competent, calm, responsive, and helpful. We did not have a wedding planner and we don’t live anywhere near Birmingham, and we had absolutely no problems. This is due, in large part, to how fantastic Michelle is. She’s smart, responsive, direct, honest, and – it bears repeating– calm. The day of the wedding, we had no worries, because Michelle was on top of everything. If you choose Iron City as your venue, you will not regret it!

so thankful we picked Iron City!

fore the big day so we have minimal stress while trying to enjoy our time together and with our guests on our wedding day. The food was amazing and we got so many compliments on the reception as a whole. The staff was also very helpful with piecing everything together to fit the vision that I had for my wedding reception. I would highly recommend Iron City as a wedding reception venue!

City has all of those things and more. The food is genuinely delicious (we had a hard time narrowing down the appetizers, entrees and sides because everything really was that good). And the bar selection can’t be beat, with open bar packages including your normal liquor variety but also a variety of beers on tap (including local offerings) that several other venues we toured just didn’t offer. Michelle, who runs the wedding stuff at Iron City was super easy to work with, answered our million questions and helped us the whole time along the way. Their chef participated in the tasting and was super nice and knowledgeable and overall the whole staff was a joy to work with. I was a little nervous going into the reception about the seated portion of the dinner (serving a meal to 150 people smoothly) but their staff was on top of it, clearing plates quickly when people were finished, keeping the dinner running smoothly and on track. Again, can’t recommend Iron City more! We toured 15 places and this was above and beyond the best reception spot for what we were looking for.

orrdinator is a breeze to work with and was EXTREMEMLY accomedating with all of my questions and concerns. THE FOOD: We CONTINUE to get compliments of how fantastic our food was (even at other people's weddings! 😂)! We could not have picked a better place! You need to go see it! It is a perfect venue for a reception!

ut this entire staff. HIGHLY recommend this venue! The food was absolutely delicious, too! We truly had our dream wedding!

lle and Iron City really went out of their way to work with our schedule and budget. She also was a wonderful day-of-planner and partnered great with all of my vendors. I would highly recommend this venue!!

ful and delicious. Our family and friends are still talking about how much they loved Iron City!

s had a great time. They were all very impressed with the options available in the beer and wine package. The groomsmen loved getting ready in the bands' dressing room upstairs. Our private meal before entering the reception was wonderful, and the service was second to none.

ne of Iron City's event planners, helped me with absolutely everything you can think of. This was just an added plus to all the other wonderful features this venue had to offer. Especially since I wasn't hiring an event planner and had no clue how to plan a wedding (I thought I had a clue, but I was very wrong). A lot goes into the planning of your big day and Ashley was on top of it every step of the way. Our wedding day would have been chaotic if I had tried doing it on my own without Ashley and her awesome helper, Becca. So to say I was thankful for Ashley's help is an understatement. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding! If anything did go wrong I still have no clue about it because it was the best day ever. My husband and I are so happy we chose Iron City as our venue. The atmosphere of the venue and staff there is truly incredible.

ghting made it even more perfect. From the first meeting Michelle was amazing. She was very professional, answered all of our question, and worked perfectly with our planner. She gave the best advise and made my dream a reality. The food was fantastic! It was hard to narrow it down with all there great options. The taste test was great and we ended up with an excellent menu. I would highly recommend the mashed potato bar, our guest are still talking about it! The servers, bar staff, and every other employee at Iron City exceed our expectations. It was the best night ever thanks to everyone at Iron City and Michelle. Thank you again and we would highly recommend Iron City to everyone!

e to answer ALL of my questions, she was fun and genuinely excited about our event. She definitely goes the extra mile to make you feel special! The venue layout worked with an easy flow...plenty of seating for all of our guests yet the atmosphere encourages people to mingle...and that leads to a FUN night! Chef William and his staff prepared a delicious assortment of food items that our guests are still talking about...especially the Mac and Cheese station! All servers and wait staff were courteous and attentive. Outstanding bar service...you guys were awesome! Fantastic job from the lighting and sound crews making the dance floor THE place to be! We had guests from sixteen different states and they all had the "Wow Factor" from Birmingham's own Iron City! The Lucy/Bettencourt families did not want the night to end...it was just that good! Thank you Michelle and everyone at Iron City for exceeding all our expectations! Much love to you ALL!

Michelle was the perfect host. She kept us informed of everything, worked with our planner, set up tastings and was at the event to keep a watchful eye and wish us well. She is a great ambassador for such a perfect venue! The manned sound and lighting station is an excellent compliment to the band and made the dance floor even more fun with flashing lights that changed colors. The Marquee sign with our names on it was the perfect welcome for all of our family and friends! The food was THE BEST! My guests are still raving about all of the delicious-ness. We could not have chosen a more perfect place for our perfect day! It was the best blend of rustic and elegant. I would definitely recommend Iron City for any event!

cony. This venue has a lot of experience in what it takes to pull off a large wedding reception. This was evident on the evening of our wedding as Iron City's staff made the night so care free for us. My husband and I were able to live in and enjoy every moment without worry. I can say the same thing of my parents who were also able to relax as Michelle and my wedding planner handled any and all business that needed to take place throughout the night. I would strongly recommend Iron City to future brides as you can take comfort in knowing that the details of your big day will be in good hands.

tely recommend this venue to anyone! Our wedding was beautiful!

staff, bartenders, servers, sound crew, and all others involved went above and beyond expectations! We absolutely recommend them, and if we had it to do all over again we wouldn't change one thing!! Thanks Iron City! Thanks especially to Michelle!!

accommodate us from the decor to the food and our bar selections. She coordinated with our and to get them there for sound check and was there to direct the wedding party and guests the day of to make for a smooth, stress free day right up through our send off.

always responsive to emails and calls. She worked with us and our vendors perfectly. There wasn't anything that we requested that they didn't help accommodate. Our guests had a blast, and one of our friends' from New York made a comment that he felt like he was in the fanciest venue in NYC! I cannot thank Iron City enough for helping create the most beautiful, fun night I could have ever imagined!!

it impressed us once again! They provide in house catering which is delicious and well priced . Everything literally went perfect at this venue! They are willing to meet several times to go over the events of the day and treat you like a friend, not a customer. I cannot say enough good things about this place. You need to book it ASAP because it is a popular and well-liked place to be!

mazing. Highly suggest this awesome venue for your big day. Thank you Iron City!

ce to everyone!

as plenty of room for the guests to mix and mingle without having to move to different rooms, as is the case for other venues. The acoustics were perfect for both bands, (after all it is a music venue). Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we were happy with every facet of the receptions. I was a little sad when the last daughter married in February because I knew we couldn’t have another reception there.....I know I’m CRAZY! All of this to say, my family and I think it’s the best venue in Birmingham.

l. I loved visiting with her to plan out my reception from the flower and linen detail to the food.. Michelle had all the answers. She was an amazing person to work with, not to mention super organized and sweet. Something that was a must for me in wedding planning! My husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of our reception and not worry about a thing. Michelle and the Iron City staff took care of everything. It is the unique venue that I was looking for. It is elegant and timeless with a modern rustic feel. We had a little over 400 at the reception and there was no complaint about it being too crowded. There is plenty of room for everyone. They have plenty of areas for people to sit or for those that like to be in the action on the dance floor. Everyone had a place! Every guest that I talked to at the wedding and after raved about how amazing Iron City was. From the food to the bar service, everyone was very impressed. If you choose Iron City your guests will not be let down and neither will you! Iron City brought my dreams to life for my wedding day and it was more than I could have ever imagined. I am always looking forward to going to more events here! Book Iron City for your wedding and/or reception.. You won't be disappointed!

She contacted all of our vendors and organized the timeline. We had about 300 people at the reception and the venue did not feel too crowded or too empty at all. Everyone kept telling me how much they loved the openness of the venue. You could see everything happening from anywhere in the room. I would definitely recommend Iron City for any bride who is looking for easy, fun, and a beautiful wedding reception.

ways very accommodating and patient. The entire staff was fabulous the night of the reception. Iron City has a great selection of food and we had many complements on the quality of the food as well as the presentation. One of the best things about the place is the stage. Its not some temporary thing thrown together like you would see at some of the ballroom venues. It is a professional stage that sits up high off the floor and they have an exceptional sound system. The band we had was excited when we told them that Iron City would be our venue because of the great the sound system. There are also a lot of video screens there that you can have your slide shows playing on. We had many of our friends tell us that the reception was one of the best and most fun ones they have ever been too. We highly recommend Iron City for a wedding reception.

he smallest detail! The venue lends itself to a fun, energetic and engaging reception. The food was yummy and beautifully presented. Our guests were so complimentary and the dance floor was never empty! We highly recommend Iron City for your wedding reception...if we could, we would happily re-live the party over and over!!!!!

ere, I would recommend this venue to anyone!

ught about. Chef William and his crew prepared amazing food that our family still talks about. Reggie and the other bartenders are some of the best in Birmingham. Iron City made our day absolutely PERFECT!

y. Also, the stage and audio/visual package sets Iron City apart from other venues. Lastly, if you're looking for a non-traditional historic venue that you can make your own, Iron City is your best bet.

oothly. She even had her team crack the glowsticks and bring them out the moment we wanted them! I don't think I dropped a bead of sweat the entire night except on the super fun dance floor! They do it all...if you're looking for a one stop shop that has an incredible venue and point of contact-choose Iron City!

nt to watch the dancing a place to do without being trampled. The catering menu was varied and the staff bent over backwards to help us pick out the perfect combination of food and drink, which was wonderful. From start to finish, Iron City did everything to make the wedding perfect, and to eliminate stress through their professionalism and helpful assistance. Our guests are still saying that my son and daughter-in-law's wedding reception was the most fun they had ever been to. I cannot recommend Iron City more highly.

ty of room to dance in front of the stage with four tables down there and five on the level with the stage! We decorated the front mini stage area as a lounge area, as well as in front of the beautiful, wooden garage door! This was a perfect space for people to get away from the music if they wanted to chat, as well as sit and look at a slideshow of pictures from our wedding on the TV screens above the bar! This concert venue transitioned surprisingly well into a party/event space! The bartenders were super friendly and a pleasure to work with. The wait staff was great, as well! The food was always stocked, and it was DELICIOUIS! We heard raves reviews from everyone about Iron City Grille catering. Michelle, who handles the events at Iron City, was super easy to work with. She kept us in the loop, up-to-date on everything we needed to do, and helped us make decisions! Really had a wonderful evening and would do it all over again! Thanks so much!

and experience! The event cordinator, Michelle Langdon, is absolutely fabulous. We did not have to worry about a single thing during the reception! She took care of everything! Visit Iron City, sample the food and sit down with Michelle and you will have no question what an amazing venue it is!

ime. I cannot say enough good things about it! The food was fantastic! They let us customize the layout of all the tables and chairs and the lighting scheme. The venue has the best dance floor (it is huge and the band is on an elevated stage) I have seen in Birmingham! Literally, everyone was dancing all night. It was such a fun venue!! Highly recommended. Thank you Iron City! You guys made our wedding reception special and a night we will always cherish!

r family and friends loved the venue. I would love to serve as a reference for you guys for future weddings and would recommend Iron City to anyone. It was gorgeous and everyone who worked the wedding made us feel at ease the entire day. (Which lead to less stress because we knew everything was being taken care of :) ) Thank you so very much for making our wedding day so special!

elf, the extensive catering menu, the large bar area, and of course, the marquis :) Their event coordinator, Michelle, was very knowledgeable and helpful in arranging for all of our requests. We worked closely together for many months and every encounter was a pleasant one. We continue to hear positive comments from our family and friends about the delicious food and overall experience they had at the reception at Iron City.

Thank you, Iron City!

med into an elegant and romantic wedding venue. It's the perfect place for a Bride who wants to "wow" her guests. The extensive food list allowed me to pick and create my own menu that suited my picky eating habits and still give my guests a wide variety of flavorful food that looks and taste good.
