    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Working with Clyde was so easy and fun. They had a great tasting night combined with planning and were very responsive by email. Our reception had amazing food, a great sound system, and the bartenders and servers were awesome. We couldn't have picked a better place.

    The team at the Clyde where we held our reception was amazing from the chefs who produced delicious food, the event coordinator who made sure everything went off without a hitch so we had nothing to worry about, to the bartenders who we still have family members comment on! Their location is one of a kind and fit our vision for our wedding reception perfectly!

    We had our rehearsal dinner here and it was great! We wanted something casual and laid back seeing as the next day had so much going on. We were able to do a pizza, salad and bread buffet along with our own private bar area. We were able to have a slideshow as well which I was very happy about. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice casual rehearsal dinner.

    Amazing Venue

    I had my wedding at Clyde in October and cannot say enough about how perfect this venue was for our wedding and how amazing the staff were. Everything was set up and coordinated exactly as requested and the staff were organized, friendly, efficient, and overall outstanding throughout the entire day and night. Our guests were blown away by how unique and beautiful the space was and everyone loved the food. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Clyde and were impressed by how professional and organized the staff was just for that. We knew this was the venue for us the first time we toured and it turned out to be the perfect spot for our dream wedding. We loved how versatile the space is and how you can truly make it into exactly what your vision is for your big day.

    The only recommendation I'll make is that the events manager should have an assistant to help with emails and other duties. I was in communication with this person for over 3 years and there were times it took a week for them to get back to me. Even when it took a long time, all my questions were eventually answered which was appreciated but it was a little frustrating at times. Overall, they did an outstanding job with having all the details perfect when it came down to the rehearsal dinner and wedding, but I do think with the amount of events they host at Clyde each week, they could expand their team to take some of the stress off one person since they're so busy all the time. For everything this person has to handle, they did a great job overall.

    Beautiful venue. 100% recommend.

    Clyde Iron Works was absolutely incredible as a wedding venue. Everyone LOVED it. It has a very rustic/industrial/chic feel - similar to the machine shop in MPLS. Communication could be improved - but overall the day went smoothly.

    Ceremony & Reception Bundle Venor

    The clyde was so beautiful and the workers their were such a big help. Of what we heard from our guest they loved it. Every detail was meet and only thing I would of liked better would be better communicating through phone on the final days leading up. We were able to swing last minute set up the night before. We were lucky to be able to do that since there were no events the night before. Thank you to the clyde!

    A bit stressful, but worth it.

    Communication was a bit stressful as the manager and owner is handling wedding season by herself. She was super flexible when we said we didn’t like our first tasting and offered us another one. We didn’t like either tasting but it was definitely not the same food on our wedding day. Our wedding day food was amazing! Waitstaff was also fantastic and actively trying to make the night great despite quite a few hiccups with our planner. It was a bit stressful but definitely worth it!

    I wish that the event planner I was speaking with was the one who handled my wedding. I didn't know it was going to be someone else until the rehearsal dinner. Then at said rehearsal dinner... they didn't know we would want to actually rehearse in the area the wedding would be held... I was dumbfounded. I held it together and was as nice as I could be to the lady who was now my event person as I am guessing she had no idea of my needs or expectations. or maybe they share the job and you think you are talking to 1 person but really 2? I don't know. the big day went well.. everyone loved the food (which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over priced but I guess who isn't for weddings) , the place was beautiful, and everyone had fun. However.... they built a new bridal sweet. I didn't need it to get ready... way to small for 8 women to get ready in but it was nice for hanging out in waiting for it to start. the only shitty part... they had another rehearsal going on ... and the suit.. it's not in the rooms next to the balcony entrance.. no... it's in the area where they held our rehearsal and now this one... that was going on.. right before and during our wedding.... I head to move tables to get thru. again.. I was nice. but I really wanted to flip out. I spent about $12000 just for the rentals and food for that place ... I expected more.

    The venue itself is great, large interesting space and enough bathroom space for a large group. Unfortunately the bathrooms were not monitored before and throughout the event, making many guest complain about cleanliness. Our wedding meals tasted and looked nothing like the food we taste tested and approved prior to our event. As an example, do not order mixed vegetables for a large group, the carrots were cut way too large (~2" x 1") and therefore undercooked beside the overcooked zucchini. The baby potatoes were also undercooked and most places were collected still half full of uneaten food. It is sad that we paid so much for the plates that were not eaten. Lastly we ordered sauces for each entree and 1/2 of the plates did not get the sauce, and one of the sauce options was nothing like the amazing sauce we had approved. We did bring it to Clyde's attention, but they weren't interested in giving a monetary refund, they just said they let the kitchen know. I'm sorry, but if you are a cook (I am not) you should probably know how to cook vegetables and potatoes until they are fork tender. We were given some credit to the restaurant, which was better than nothing, but still does not make up for the poor quality meals our 250 guests were served (or ease the $9,800 bill we still had to pay).
