“From the moment we began making plans with Elsecar, we knew that we had found something special. The style of the venue, the huge amount of space and your relaxed nature suited us perfectly. It really was a blank canvas, and we loved the project of turning it into our wedding.”

“Over the weekend, your team made everything seem like a breeze. Nothing was too much to ask for. You were so knowledgeable and organised that we both felt we could fully relax and enjoy the day. Many of our guests had never seen the Ironworks before, so they were so impressed with this huge, beautiful building.”
