My name is Kayla, and I am a Planner/Coordinator based out of Southeastern NC. I have been involved in the industry previously through hair and occasional photography, but found a love for planning and the logistics. I love all things themed and am an avid DIY-er.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience working with Jade Events and Co. Kayla was our day of coordinator (which really was like month-of assistance plus day-of coordination). From our first conversation, she gave great guidance, was very organized and thoughtful. Even though I was pretty organized myself, I was constantly worried about missing something obvious because wedding planning was so foreign to me. She helped talk through our random questions and find solutions (including on the day). She seemed a little quiet/nervous handling some of our more bold family members but ultimately did well! Kayla also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. She was kind and overall a delight to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

Regal Events DJ & More is an Award-winning company in Wilmington, NC. We have worked in different states, bartending and coordinating events in different settings.

We have also done popular corporate events for The NC Azalea Fest and Live Oak Bank to name a few.

We want to thank Regal DJ for coming through for us at the last minute. When our primary arrangements had to back out we didn’t know what to do. We learned about Regal DJ and gave them a call. It was the best thing we could’ve done. Not only did they accommodate us by fitting us into an already booked schedule for the day, but because they could tell how worried we were that we wouldn’t be able to get it done, they included their 360 Photo Booth for us as a token of comfort and reassurance to ease our minds. This group is amazing. They had the crowd on the floor all evening long. Thank you Regal DJs for making our day as memorable as it was.

Ironclad Brewery 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Wilmington, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Since 2015, our brewery has been the perfect backdrop for hundreds of events including weddings, charity events, corporate functions, business networking and social celebrations! Ironclad Brewery is located in an historic building dating back to 1925 in Downtown Wilmington. The building was completely renovated in 2014, but we've maintained much of the character and integrity of the original building. Our brewers hand forge a wide range of craft beer and hard seltzers, using only the best ingredients available. In addition to our craft beer and seltzer creations, we also serve cider, wine, and spirits. ​

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Allows pets
  • All-inclusive venue packages

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No in-house catering options
  • No on-site bridal suite
Ironclad was the absolute perfect place to host our wedding! Rachel and the entire staff made everything so easy and the space worked perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. The price was all inclusive- to include the venue, the staff, and open bar for our guests for a designated amount of time and ended up being cheaper than it would have been had we purchased all the elements separately, and with the convenience of having everything (and everyone) under one roof! The ambience was exactly what we were looking for: rustic, yet dreamy- with twinkle lights everywhere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to say “I do”!
