KH: Yes! Iron City has an extensive catering and bar menu. We have full dinner packages for couples looking for a seated meal, and we have a wide spread of hors d’oeuvres to choose from if a bride is looking for more of a grab-and-go buffet style!

Tools such as Instagram and Pinterest will impact the way you look at venues; then, you’ll know if the venue matches your vision as soon as you walk through the door for your first tour. Iron City is a space where you can let loose and have fun! Your wedding day should be a celebration, not a chore.
