WOW - Exceptional Service at a Beautiful Venue

Gorgeous industrial space that has a great setup for all your wedding events in one building. It started with a private group supper on the mezzanine the night before. Everyone ordered off the menu instead of having a set meal, which our family loved. Then wedding day! We had a beautiful ceremony on the balcony, transitioned to cocktail hour on the opposite balcony, and a short elevator ride brought everyone seamlessly to the reception area below. The space really looks good for a variety of decorating styles and adds just enough character without being too bold. In addition to the space, we received the best customer service from Toni & her crew every step of the way! She made planning a breeze, answered every question in a timely manner, and was very accommodating to our requests - which included postponing a year, setting up early, and numerous in person meetings. She allowed us to plan our wedding being 6 hours away without worry. Her team is also knowledgeable - we had Josh for the day of and he did a wonderful job keeping the cocktail hour & reception on time. They managed to serve 120 people in minutes! We had a few requests during the night and he problem solved on the spot. The food was phenomenal - proteins and sides cooked to perfection, salad was cold & crisp, and portions were excellent. Our guests left full & happy. Another asset to the venue is the location and ample parking. Guests were able to find their way easily and park at the venue, we didn't need to have a shuttle service or pay for parking.

We would highly recommend Clyde Ironworks for all your wedding needs!

Best venue ever!

Having owned a Duluth, MN based DJ/Photo Booth/Event Lighting company (AT Entertainment) for over 15 years I have been to hundreds of venues throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin, so I knew that when it came time for my own wedding there was only one venue I really wanted (Clyde Iron Works). The space is absolutely gorgeous, the service is outstanding, and my guests are still talking about how great the food was. I would highly recommend Clyde Iron Works for any of your event needs.

Informative

We just booked Clyde Iron Works for our wedding in October of 2020. When I went to look at the venue before booking, Matt was super helpful in giving more information and giving suggestions as well. I can not wait to have our wedding there, it's always been a dream of mine :)

Beautiful venue at an affordable price!

We had an amazing experience with Clyde Iron Works for our wedding reception venue in Duluth, MN. The venue itself is beautiful with larger windows, brick, and steel pillars. The bistro lights along with the uplights made our evening of dancing and pictures amazing. Toni, the event manager, and Matt the general manager, were both so easy to work with on all the details of the day. The bridal suite was a nice way for us to get ready in the morning and also decorate the venue. The food was very tasty and they worked with us on what we wanted for the meal. The staff was extremely friendly and we received a lot of compliments from all our guest. Would absolutely recommend to any of my friends or family.

Amazing Venue!

Clyde was absolutely the perfect venue for our wedding. We had the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at Clyde. The venue is huge and beautiful. The staff is out of this world -- attentive, kind, and on-the-ball. Several guests also commented on the excellent service of the staff! 200 warm meals served at the same time and people are still talking about it. So happy we went with Clyde!!

I would recommend Clydes to everyone and anyone! They were so great to work with and the amount of flexibility you have with decor means you can really make the space your own. The food was excellent, and definitely higher quality than your typical 'wedding food'. Everyone loved the venue and the food. It was such a great experience!

We had a great experience with Clyde. We used the venue for both our ceremony and reception. The event manager was very helpful during the planning process and our wedding day went very smooth. We received many complements from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was.

I have been to weddings here and they are the best. Clyde gives you the flexibility and delivers. I am not sure how someone rated them a 2 just because of vegetables, my main concern is having fun, celebrate the couple, and having the space to do this. Clyde is perfect, staff friendly, and they are willing to meet your needs whatever you may want. Plus it doesn't come with a massive bill like many other venues in the area.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
