One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it. David gave us suggestions on why certain lighting changes the whole vibe of the events. Used him for three events and all three were phenomenal. I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC. The MC at our reception was great as well. He got almost every single person engaged in the event and was able to get almost every person on the dance floor and no one left the dance floor. Truly a memorable experience for me, my wife, and all my guests

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!

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.

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. ​

We love working at Ironclad. The entire team is easy to work with and Rachel is top-notch. We've planned many weddings there over the years and it's one of our favorite venues in downtown Wilmington. The guests love that it's conveniently located to many hotels so they can walk to their rooms at the end of the night. They serve great beers but also have great liquor packages. And if you haven't tried their new seltzers, do yourself a favor and go there now!
