We had our wedding here mid August. After researching multiple venues, I came across Ironspire. While they provided a list of vendors they have worked with and recommended, we weren't obligated to use any of them. Ultimately, the ability to choose our own vendors and the unique aesthetic of Ironspire sold us. Brittany and Angela were both so patient with me and answered all of my questions promptly over the previous 8 months.
There are two rooms for getting ready on site. They both have ample space and multiple amenities (ie. private bathrooms, mini fridges, tables, couches, TVs). I would like to add that they added a new women's lounge for getting ready (that we were the first to use!) and it is MUCH larger than the former room. It also has it's own private patio!
While the weather in August can be unpredictable, I was unconcerned due to the covered courtyard where the ceremony would take place. The weather was perfect that day and made for truly stunning photos. After our ceremony, chairs were removed and we set up Cornhole (they provided) and ping pong (we brought our table).
I lost count of the number of guests who commented on how unique the venue layout was and that they loved the open airy flow of the space. It is truly one of a kind and something you need to experience for yourself to truly grasp all this venue has to offer.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for exceeding all of my expectations,...
Read moreMy husband and I were married this past weekend at the Ironspire Complex and it was the most perfect place for us to host our wedding reception. We wanted to have an outdoor ceremony in the woods near our home, and with IronSpire being only a 12 minute drive it was an excellent choice for the reception, with a beautiful backup covered outdoor ceremony site in case of inclement weather.
We are both wedding photographers and had a very specific vision about what we wanted. When it was time for us to find a venue it was really tough looking in the greater Reading area. Everything was either logistically challenging (a la GoggleWorks) or didn't fit our vibe at all, feeling dated, and a bit cheesy.
My husband actually shot one of IronSpire's first weddings in August of last year. As the day went on he sent me pictures of the space and I immediately set up a meeting with Angela for us to tour it. We booked immediately.
Ironspire is modern, clean, and logistically perfect. With easy, dedicated parking, many different spaces available for use, and a clean, industrial look, it can be decorated to fit many different styles.
Angela and Brittany were wonderful to work with, flexible and responsive. When we added uplighting to the space it looked so high end and beautiful. Definitely recommend that for both the guest experience and how much it impacts the photos! We couldn't be happier with our choice to host our wedding...
Read moreI got married at IronSpire in August 2024 and it was simply beautiful! The space is rustically elegant and the vines hanging down in the open air garden with the wind blowing through the trees made for a majestic ceremony! The open concept space utilities large garage doors to create an indoor/outdoor experience that I have yet to find at another venue. The only downside is that there is no A/C, so you may want to consider a Fall or Winter wedding to eliminate that worry. My wedding day was 80 degrees with low humidity and we were not bothered by the heat! The venue manager Brittany is nice to work with and clear with the rules of the space as well as the day of details. She is very detail oriented, communicates well and promptly, addressed all of my concerns, and followed through with all of my requests. There are bridal suites on-site for getting ready in and a kitchen for caterers too. And the bar is huge and ascetically pleasing! Plus Columbia Kettleworks is right next door making for a very convenient and fun afterparty. If you're looking for a large space with both indoor and outdoor aspects that is not a barn, then...
