A Match Made in History: Clyde Iron Works is Your Ultimate Timeless Wedding Venue
Choosing the right wedding venue can feel like a balancing act—do you go for old-world charm or modern conveniences? At Clyde Iron Works in Duluth, you don’t have to choose. Our venue brings together the best of both worlds, making it the perfect setting for a wedding that’s as timeless as it is unforgettable.
Industrial Charm Meets Modern Upgrades
Clyde Iron Works isn’t just another wedding venue—it’s a piece of American history. Originally a bustling machinery manufacturing facility, it’s now been reimagined into a unique and versatile event space. Picture exposed brick walls, massive steel beams, and high, airy ceilings—industrial elements that speak to the venue’s history while creating a seriously cool backdrop for modern celebrations.
But don’t let the industrial vibe fool you. Clyde’s got all the amenities you need to make your day both stylish and comfortable. Think state-of-the-art AV equipment, customizable lighting, and full climate control to keep things perfect no matter the weather outside. It’s the perfect combo of old-school charm and all the modern touches you and your guests will love.
Space as Flexible as Your Vision
One of the things that couples love most about Clyde is its flexibility. Whether you’re dreaming of a grand reception in our expansive Event Center or a more intimate ceremony tucked away in one of the Malting Building’s cozy corners, we’ve got the perfect space to fit your vibe.
Our open floor plans mean you can get creative with your setup. Want a seated dinner that flows seamlessly into a packed dance floor? No problem. Or maybe you’re imagining something more laid-back, with lounge areas and cocktail stations. Whatever your vision, Clyde’s got the versatility to make it happen.

The bridal suites have plenty of light and mirrors—perfect for hair and makeup, offering a serene, private atmosphere where you and your bridal party can relax and get ready.
Meanwhile, the groom suites features their own modern touches with plenty of room for the guys to hang out, get dressed, and enjoy a few moments of calm before the festivities begin. Suites are conveniently located, so you’ll be close to all the action when it’s time to say "I do."
Architectural Features That Tell a Story
Let’s talk about the architecture for a second—because at Clyde, it’s not just pretty to look at, it’s got a story to tell. The steel beams, towering ceilings, and classic brick accents don’t just create an amazing atmosphere—they also offer the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos. And with natural light pouring in through those massive windows, your photographer will be in heaven.
