Such an amazing venue! We had a blast and absolutely loved the venue, the food, the bartender, and the entire vibe of the place. It’s in downtown Boulder City, which is adorable, and walkable to nearby bars for the after party (skinny bar!). Highly recommend getting married here! There are beautiful places nearby for fantastic wedding photos as well.

We had our wedding ceremony & reception at Forge in December 2022. I booked almost a year ahead of time and Amy Vandermark was available every single time I reached out to her. This venue is a cute little spot tucked in Boulder City, NV. You’ll forget you’re in the middle of a small town neighborhood! We wanted a venue close to home but not on the strip. There was plenty of parking for guests as well as our food trucks and it was easily accessible for our

What a cool place!!! I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding reception here and I loved it. It has a really cool industrial vibe and it's just the kind of place that you want to hang out. The large doors made it feel that even though there was an indoor and outdoor portion, it all still felt like one big gathering. I definitely hope to shoot here again one day!
