    Beautiful venue and amazing to work with

    My wife and I cannot say enough about how glad we are that we worked with Irongate for our wedding! The venue is INCREDBILE with a ton of space for a large wedding or just being able to space out. Tara and Rachel did most of our planning and they were both amazing to work with. They handled a ton of coordination with our other venues, even the ones that were not so easy to communicate with, and took a lot of stress off of our plate. We heard rave reviews from our guests about the beauty of the facility and I echo those thoughts. My wife and I had almost everything that could go wrong with our wedding happen, but finding Irongate and the amount of care they gave us was an absolute blessing! We only had 80 guests, but venue could have easily fit 150-200 with the COVID restrictions.

    November 2nd, 2019 Wedding

    This venue is absolutely stunning! Faith and Tera were SO helpful throughout the entire process starting with their open house last year. My husband and I did not have a worry in the world throughout our entire day and night. Having the ceremony on the bridge was exactly what we envisioned and the reception inside blew our guests away. Not to mention the groom's suite and bridal suite were spacious and fully stocked as we got ready with the bridal party. We cannot say enough how much this venue fit exactly what we wanted. Thank you all for making our day one we will cherish forever! We hope to come back for a friend's wedding and relive this day!

    Amazing reliable service!

    The best decision we made was having them coordinate the day of my daughters wedding. Thank you for taking that responsibility and running with it. Fantastic people and a beautiful place. You could not have pleased us more.

    Irongate was my husband and I's first and only venue tour. Once we saw the facilities and met with Laurie, we were hooked! We booked their last-available Fall 2017 date and never looked back.

    The planning process with Laurie was fantastic. She provided a comprehensive list of vendors she recommended that were incredibly helpful. Using her recommendations also ensured we worked with people who knew each other. Laurie, our DJ (Matt Ryan) and caterer (Scott's Catering) have all worked together for years, which made our day-of seamless. Laurie accommodated us for all emails and phone calls, and helped ensure every single thing we wanted was perfect.

    OUR DAY OF! Oh my goodness our wedding day. I get emotional every time I think about it because our wedding was truly the day of our dreams. We dropped our decorations off at Irongate the night before. They set everything up for us the day of our wedding so we did not have to worry about a thing. Irongate's dressing suites make getting ready for the wedding so much fun and carefree. They're beautifully decorated, and there is nothing like being able to look over your reception area in anticipation of what's to come!

    All throughout our wedding and reception, the Irongate staff were tremendously helpful. Stacy was on-hand to ensure we had all we needed. She helped us get food, did bar runs for us, and ensured we were perfectly carefree. At one point, the bustle on my dress would not stay hooked, and before I knew it Laurie was behind me with pliers ready to fix it. All without me saying a thing! One of our signature cocktails was a hit and we ran out of it before the night was over. I went to the bar to grab another drink and the staff had reserved some for my husband and I to ensure we had everything we wanted! I seriously cannot say enough how wonderful and thoughtful everyone at Irongate is.

    If you can't tell, Irongate comes with our HIGHEST recommendation! We loved it and know you will, too.

    I don't even know where to begin! Aside from the beauty and charm this venue has, the staff is just amazing! We had the pleasure of working with Laurie. From booking the venue, planning our engagement photos, to every question I had in between, Laurie was so helpful and responded with smiles and advice each time. On the day of our wedding, she along with Stacey were there making sure we had everything we needed, working with our vendors, along with coordinating everything. The details were just so perfect and the final product was more than we could have ever dreamed. Just beautiful. Laurie was so attentive to each detail. From taking the couch from her own office to put together a beautiful picture backdrop, to making sure I had a cold one in my hand and even helping with my bustle. I could go on and on. This place was perfect and we can't thank the Irongate Staff enough!!!

Irongate was nothing short of perfect, thank you ALL so much!!

    Laurie and all of the Irongate staff made our wedding day AMAZING! I really can’t say enough good things about how wonderful Laurie was to work with. She was very responsive to all of my emails/questions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. Irongate is a such a beautiful venue and the perfect place to get married!

    I've spent the past 3 weeks since I got married trying to figure out what to say in my review of Irongate. They are simply the best! The location is perfect, the service is top notch, and the beauty speaks for itself. I had such a great experience from beginning to end, and they are worth every single penny. Book with Laurie as your day-of coordinator....every time I tried to worry about a wedding detail, Laurie was already on it. She was down to earth, flexible, and extremely organized. She and her staff went above and beyond covering every detail and making sure my husband and I were taken care of on our wedding day. I highly recommend this venue!

    Planning my wedding from St.Louis was a breeze with the help of everyone at irongate. HUGE shoutout to April and her staff for helping me to plan the wedding of my dreams. Everything was amazing and could not have done it without April being my coordinator at irongate. I was on a tight budget but having April was SO worth it! You won't regret this beautiful venue for your wedding.

    Irongate is a wonderful venue at which to celebrate a wedding and it can be simple and elegant or fancy and elegant and the experience will be an excellent one! The staff worked with us no matter what our requests were to celebrate our daughter's wedding. We had nothing but positve comments from our guests during and after the wedding and reception. We highly recommend Irongate!

    We loved having our reception at Irongate!! The venue is absolutely stunning, and our guests raved about it all night. The staff is very helpful and professional as well. We did not need a wedding planner because the staff was able to help support us throughout the entire process. We loved that we did not have to bring many decorations because the venue is so spectacular, and also because Irongate provides many pieces to be used for the reception. So many of our guests told us that it was one of the most beautiful venues that they had ever attended!

    We were married here in July and we could not be happier with our selection of Irongate! We worked with Laurie and she was quick to respond to all of my questions and recommended the best vendors to use. She is very detail oriented. On the day of our wedding, she and her staff made sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on time. It started to pour as our guests were arriving and the staff were running out to our guests cars with umbrellas to help make sure they made it inside dry. I can't leave out Stacey because our families kept talking about how amazing she was the next day. Stacey and Laurie made sure both our families were taken care of all night. I highly recommend Irongate to anyone looking for a gorgeous venue!

    Oh my goodness! I never imagined I could find a venue like IronGate that I would be able to have my wedding at but boy was I wrong! My husband and I toured IronGate shortly after we got engaged. It was the first venue we looked at and fell in love. They were pretty booked up for 2017 but had a date open that ended up being absolutely perfect for us! We got married at IronGate on July 8th and it was absolutely perfect. We worked primarily with Lori, who was so helpful and wonderful through the whole planning process. She was always available to answer questions or give suggestions and I felt so comfortable with her. They always say make sure you hire people you won't mind spending your wedding day with and Lori was awesome to have there on our day! The rest of the staff also went above and beyond with anything that needed to be done. It seemed that whenever we needed something one of them was there and ready to do whatever task that needed to be done! We are so grateful we had a staff like that to calm our nerves and make everything perfect. Aside from the staff, the venue itself is just amazing. We got so many compliments and were told multiple times that it was the nicest wedding venue they had ever been to. I loved that the guys and girls each had an entire floor to get ready on and were able to spend the whole day there! It made the getting ready process so much fun and so much less stressful since we didn't have to travel throughout the day. Lori also helped plan a surprise horse and carriage and even sneakily made the rehearsal cater to what was being done with the horse and carriage without me having a single clue what was coming the next day! Our officiant also didn't show up to the rehearsal so Lori stepped right in without hesitation so the rehearsal could go on without him. I honestly don't have a single complaint about our entire experience with IronGate and can't say enough good things. Thank you!!!

    It's very important to look at a venue that includes all of your needs for the day. Often a venue will be able to accommodate an indoor and and outdoor ceremony for you...but usually that means that they have to move tables in the reception hall. Irongate has a designated indoor ceremony area away from the reception as well as two options (maybe more) for an outdoor ceremony. The cocktail party area is beautiful and expands easily by using multiple floors and balconies if needed. This is truly one stop shopping when it comes to a beautiful and complete wedding experience. My daughter and her husband told me on the Sunday after the Big Day - that it was "seamless" for them. That was what I had hoped for.

    Our wedding was a dream come true! We had SO many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. The staff was also phenomenal, everything was magically done without even seeing the staff! They were on top of everything. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. I suggest any couple who wants a stress free and beautiful venue to check out Irongate because you will never look anywhere else!

    Irongate Equestrian Center was the perfect venue for my wedding. I wanted a rustic barn-feel that was still chic, romantic, and unique. It is wonderful for an outdoor ceremony, and my guests continue to tell me it was the most beautiful ceremony they have seen! I was eased because they have a complete back-up plan and indoor space in case poor weather hit on the day-of. The land is so picturesque; my photographer had so many photo ideas because everywhere we went was a gorgeous background.
    Laurie was my event coordinator, and she did a fabulous job accommodating my needs from everything to planning up to the day, setting up beforehand, leading the rehearsal, and getting things done during the wedding so I could be carefree! She was personable and fun, but also professional and someone I could count on. She and her staff handled all the tiny details and honestly made it the wedding of my dreams!

    Anyone looking for a rustic chic venue should definitely consider Irongate! We loved everything about working with Laurie and her team! We had planned an outdoor affair under the stars, but when terrible storms blew up, Laurie and the team walked us through every step of our indoor back-up plan. Our guests were all incredibly impressed with the service and the venue...nobody could believe having our whole wedding and reception indoors was originally our second choice. Not to mention all of our photos turned out fabulous! You know the venue is one that you want to work with when all of your other vendors rave about it and can't wait to work together. Thanks to Laurie and the rest of the Irongate Staff for making our day so incredibly special!!

    My husband and I were married at Irongate on July 16, 2016. We had a fantastic experience with Irongate! Laurie was our contact from the very beginning and helped us throughout the entire wedding planning process. We had our ceremony outside in the courtyard. It's located under the trees in natural shade and the weather wasn't too hot - even for July. The venue itself is gorgeous and so many of our guests were awed at the beauty and uniqueness of Irongate. The venue is huge and there are so many ways you can personalize the space - Laurie had lots of great ideas and suggestions. I think my favorite thing about Irongate was the service. Throughout the entire wedding day I was STRESS FREE!! If anyone asked me a question or told me about something needing to be done my immediate response was, "Ask Laurie!" I knew that I was in good hands and she would make sure everything was taken care of. The entire staff was so helpful and thoughtful adding in small details that really made a difference. For example, we used a Fisherman's Knot as our unity ritual and they found a way to include the knot at our sweetheart table. You can tell that the Irongate staff love their jobs and go out of their way to make sure your day is perfect. I would highly recommend Irongate as your wedding venue - you won't regret it!!

    Laurie and her staff at Iron Gate were amazing to work with. They took care of everything from a year before the wedding and including the day of the wedding so I didn't have to worry about a thing. This venue is absolutely beautiful and our guests were amazed!! I would highly recommend you book this venue for you next event!!

    Irongate was very responsive and professional. Laurie and Lori were quick to answer questions and concerns. They even had suggestions regarding the wedding ceremony setup and reception. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall my husband and I were very happy with how our ceremony and reception turned out. The only con I can think of was the pricing with some additional fees that we did not plan on.

    I have booked my wedding and reception at Irongate, they are very helpful and have been great to work with so far. The venue is beautiful and they truly seem to care about you, you feel as if you're the only wedding they have! Laurie is full of tips and advice and is always there to help. Can't wait for our wedding!
