Ironworks Hotel Wedding | Industrial-Chic Wedding Venue in Beloit, WI

Set along the Rock River in downtown Beloit, Ironworks Hotel offers a stylish blend of industrial architecture and warm hospitality — perfect for couples who want a wedding that’s modern, moody, and full of character. With exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and on-site lodging, it’s a strong option for intimate weddings and creative design-forward celebrations.

As a Wisconsin wedding photographer, Ironworks is one of those venues that photographs beautifully with minimal effort — the space itself carries so much texture and tone.


A Real-Feeling Wedding Story

Claire and Devin chose Ironworks because it was “cool without trying too hard.” They didn’t want a ballroom or a barn — just a space that felt personal, a little edgy, and easy to customize.

Their ceremony took place indoors against a brick backdrop with florals in soft neutrals. The reception followed in the same space, with bistro lighting, hand-poured candles, and a dessert table that featured local pies instead of cake.

We snuck out for golden-hour portraits by the river and downtown murals, then came back in time for toasts, dancing, and espresso martinis to close out the night.


Why Couples Choose Ironworks Hotel

  • Industrial interiors with brick, metal, and wood tones
  • On-site lodging for guests and wedding party
  • Centrally located in downtown Beloit near restaurants and parks
  • Flexible indoor event spaces for ceremony + reception
  • Ideal for smaller, design-conscious weddings

It’s great for couples who want a moody, stylish wedding that still feels warm and local.

  • Experience working with indoor lighting and darker, rich-toned venues
  • Calm guidance and simple posing for relaxed, editorial-style portraits
