Overview
The Venue
You are going to LOVE Ironwood. It’s a modern-style chic barn with tons of green space. The venue offers numerous spots that are perfect for private vow exchanges, the first look, and photos. The interior is adorned with modern art and giant glass windows that give the space an open feel.
Outdoor Ceremony at Ironwood Wedding Venue
If you’re afraid of the autumn chill, here's a tip: start your wedding in the late afternoon! Not only is it the warmest, but the sun is still out and shining. This worked out perfectly for Treyvon and Nakita, whose ceremony started around 4-5 p.m. Sheltered by the serene orchards and fall leaves, their ceremony felt nice and cozy!
This ceremony was a pretty unique case. The couple was so worried when their officiant fell through, but Nakita’s sister Nova came to the rescue. She prepared an entire speech just days before the wedding. You would have never known—her speech came right from the heart and she had an authentic way of sharing their story.
And, oh my gosh, the rings! They were so special because the couple designed them together. They decided to incorporate emeralds as they represent rich and plentiful love. We could not get enough of all the personalized details of their wedding—more on that later!
Cocktail Hour at Ironwood Wedding Venue
We always love a patio-styled cocktail hour, and Ironwood is no novice at it.
With a beautiful outdoor space, a sleek bar, an array of delectable appetizers, and twinkling string lights, the ambiance is simply chic.
Treyvon and Nakita are huge foster animal enthusiasts and they had the cutest sign ever for their open bar. Since many of their guests were coming from far and wide (including our New York bride and groom!), the couple opted for a postcard guestbook. Each guest would choose a postcard from where they were from and write their message!
Reception at Ironwood Wedding Venue
The speeches were absolutely perfect, and here’s why: the space was made for it! Instead of a traditional podium, the speakers took the mic to the center floor. This was so much more fun because the speakers could express themselves fully and connect more intimately with the audience.
The speeches flew by, but the fun was not over yet! The DJ set the mood and everyone went dancing away. This group was certainly not shy and this made it so fun to film. We love when are couples and guests let loose and enjoy themselves without worrying about the camera!

Thank you, Treyvon and Nakita!
Filming your wedding day was simply AMAZING! You two were so much fun! Everyone was so nice; you could just tell that you guys were a tight bunch! Thank you for checking in with us throughout the night and making sure we had everything we needed. It was awesome to see the whole film come together. We wish you both a lifetime of joy and love!
