Iron City Bham Reviews

Iron City, Kendall, and her team were AMAZING. I cannot talk enough about how flexible, calm, helpful, and truly fantastic they were. Our private meal was amazing, all the guests were well taken care of, and Kendall took all of our visions and made them come true! Highly recommend as a venue. The food was also FANTASTIC

The best wedding reception venue we have ever been to!! Terrific people, terrific food, terrific venue...all of our guests enjoyed themselves! Michelle was so helpful during the planning stage and Chef Ian and his staff know how to create a great menu. Highly recommend them.

We absolutely adore Iron City, and we are so glad we chose this venue for our wedding. The place has a ton of room, so we had both our ceremony and reception there! Michelle and the IC team are extremely helpful, and made the whole process super easy for us. Another plus is that Iron City has a restaurant, so all the food you need is already at the venue. They also have a full bar with multiple options that fit any budget! Iron City has a beautiful modern feel with brick walls throughout, so it can’t be dressed up or down according to anyone’s taste. Highly recommend this venue for wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate parties, or any other event you need!

We got married at Iron City in November after about 2 months of planning. Michelle and the entire Iron City team made the process so easy and were there to help in every way! Both ceremony and reception were perfection! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had, how easy things were on them, and how great the good and service was. Best thing we did for our wedding was book at Iron City! :)

Everything was perfect and we have talked about how wonderfully trained all the staff is and how very professionally all our wishes were incorporated into that one fabulous night! From our first meeting to the send off of bride and groom, we enjoyed working with you so much! Encourage future brides to order extra late night bites because her guests will be having so much fun they’ll all stay til the end!
The food was excellent! Plentiful and very delicious. I can’t say enough good things about Michelle, the staff, and everyone at Iron City! Wish we could do it all again! Highly recommend. I rave about Iron City and our friends are still talking about what a fun and great venue! -MOB

Iron City is an AMAZING venue! We knew from the moment we walked in that it would be perfect for our crowd (they love to dance)! The icing on the cake (no pun intended) is getting to work with Michelle and all the staff at Iron City. They are beyond caring and genuine and go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. From the amazing lighting and marquee, to the friendly bartenders, to the delicious food...you are sure to have a most memorable evening celebrating at Iron City!

I can’t say enough about this venue. It was PERFECT for our ceremony and reception. Everyone loved the food! The staff was incredible and made sure everything was just how we wanted it. Arielle was our “day of” coordinator through Iron City, but she was so much more. She went above and beyond for months leading up to the wedding. We had the perfect venue and she and her team were an added blessing. I can’t thank her enough. They were there every step of the way from ordering our linens for us to making sure my groom and I had food for us in our hotel room at the end of the night. Arielle even came to our rehearsal at a different venue (which she did not have to do). They truly care about their brides.

We had a wonderful wedding experience working with Michelle and the whole Iron City team. The event space is beautiful, and the catering menu has so many tasty options. Our guests kept telling us how delicious the food was! I would highly recommend this venue for any event, but especially a wedding and/or reception.

Iron City was an absolutely amazing venue for our wedding and reception. The building itself has a natural beauty that gives great life to the space. The space itself allowed us to flow from ceremony to cocktails to dinner and dancing for >150 people in a spacious yet intimate space. Asides from the marriage itself, the best part of Iron City was working with Michelle. From the initial walkthrough to the day of, Michelle and her team put so much effort into helping make your wedding dreams come to life. Michelle and her assistant Arielle are a dynamic duo that made the entire planning process and day of shenanigans completely stress-free. If you want a wedding with great food, local brews, historical charm, and options to meet any and all budgets then give Michelle a call. I can’t recommend this venue highly enough!

If you are looking for a wedding venue that will wow your guests with the party of a lifetime, then look no further than Iron City Bham! For the ceremony, having the bridal party on stage with seating on the dance floor and the main level, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The team was able to flip the room in a quick and smooth way that didn't disrupt the flow of the evening and allowed our guests to enjoy cocktail hour and gave Stephen and I the opportunity to enjoy a private dinner. The layout of the large dance floor, the stage equipped with professional AV and the horseshoe-shaped bar was the perfect combination for our guests to enjoy themselves at the reception.


We have to say a big thanks to Michelle and her team for helping make our special day one we will never forget.

We had the most fun wedding reception I could imagine at Iron City! Michelle, the event coordinator, helped us so much along the way with tips about the sound for the band, the bar package, how to balance out a good menu, and so much more. She helped bring my ideas into fruition! The flow of the reception was wonderful with many different options for how you can set up your food, cakes, and tables. Our guests also loved the upstairs area where you could watch all of the fun but also have a little break from the loudness downstairs. They told me at the beginning of our planning that they had never had a boring reception there, and they did not disappoint! We would 100% choose Iron City again as our reception venue.

Having our wedding reception at Iron City was the best decision we made! We enjoyed working with Michelle Langdon and her team! Michelle was always very kind and helpful with ANYTHING we needed!!! Choose Iron City for your wedding venue! You will not regret it!!!!

Iron City was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the initial stages all the way through the day of Michelle was such a professional, easy to work with/communicate with and she ensured that every detail was perfect for us. After our first meeting with Michelle, we left feeling 100% confident that Iron City/Michelle are event coordinating professionals which allowed us to enjoy the wedding planning process even more! The hardest part about our food tasting with Iron City was that we loved EVERYTHING! And on our wedding day, the food was just as AMAZING as it was in the tasting! We got so many compliments about the food, the staff and the venue as a whole from our guests. We could not be happier that we chose Iron City as our reception venue!

Michell and the Iron City team were punctual, professional and delivered a wonderful experience! It was night filled with fun, fabulous food and timed to perfection! Also when everything was over it was all hands on deck to help wrap it up! Thanks again!

Our reception at Iron City was the BEST thing I could have possibly imagined. Michelle, the event coordinator was the best to work with and SO on top of every detail. She made it so easy! The food was absolutely amazing and everyone raved about it. We have had countless guests call us raving about what a perfect venue Iron City was! I could not imagine my reception anywhere else.

Iron City was an AMAZING venue for our wedding and reception. It exceeded our exceptions in every category. Iron City has a great space that allows for a large wedding guest list, a cocktail hour where our guests could enjoy drinks and appetizers while the main area was flipped from wedding to reception, and spacious dance floor while still offering plenty of high boy tables and seating. Michelle and her assistant Arielle are total wedding pros. They did everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly from the rehearsal the day beforehand to the sparkler exit at the end of the night. During our food tasting, we personally met the chef who made recommendations to ensure our whole guest list would be satisfied on our budget. As you can see, each aspect of Iron City is built for your perfect wedding venue. I could not recommend this venue highly enough!

Everything at Iron City was perfect - from the amazing event planner (Michelle) who did an absolutely amazing job (and made me way less stressed planning my own wedding), to the food, to the cool space. It was the best venue for our wedding reception, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it was!

My daughter’s wedding was at Iron City on March 3, 2018 and it was perfect! My daughter and now son-in-law 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. She answered all emails quickly and was so easy to work with. 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.

Michelle was wonderful to work with and all staff was professional and accommodating. The venue itself is breathtaking - I got nothing but positive comments from guests about everything, especially the food and layout. Highly recommend.

Planning a wedding as an out-of-town bride could have been wildly stressful and daunting, but with the A++ work and coordination by Michelle and her team at Iron City, I worried about 0% of what was happening leading up to and the day of our wedding. 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.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Iron City Birmingham as our wedding venue. The venue has a cool urban vibe which is what Gehrig and I wanted. When we went for our first visit, we met Michelle Langdon. 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 guests. 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 situation, calm. Even with the weather issues Friday, 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 we 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 our wedding at Iron City Birmingham and highly recommend this venue.

This was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue is fantastic. The food was amazing! We really need to get downtown to eat more often. We will definitely be back to eat at the Grill. Michelle and her team coordinated everything well and 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!

Couldn’t have been more satisfied with Iron City as our reception venue for our wedding! Michelle was very helpful along the way and oh so patient with one stressed & last minute bride. I highly recommend Michelle, the Iron City team, and venue for any special event!

Our wedding reception could not have been more perfect at Iron City! From our initial meeting to the day of, Michelle made us feel organized and confident in her abilities to coordinate the perfect day for us. It felt like we had a member of 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!
