We had our wedding reception at Forge Social House last week and overall it was a really cool and beautiful space and I don't have any regrets having it there. Larry is the kind of person that doesn't give you any BS, he tells you how it is and you have to pay attention to what his rules are. We had 92 people for our final head count for the wedding but I think only around 85 ended up showing up. We fit three 6' rounds, three 5' rounds, and two long rectangular tables into the main dining area. We had to have one rectangular table outside in the courtyard which was great for dancing time but not so great for speeches. I'd say if you can't fit all your guests in the main room then move your wedding elsewhere. It is really nice that they open up the doors when the weather's nice (which it was) but the courtyard guests still did feel a bit isolated. They allow 2 hours for set up which ended up being plenty, and 4 hours of reception time (you can buy additional hours). Be aware that if your reception is from, say, 6-10pm you must have everyone out of the venue at 10pm sharp as he will lock the doors at that time. Larry was accommodating in letting us store some of our desserts the day before and let us leave some of our decor in the courtyard overnight, but everything inside must be cleaned up before you leave. For the menu we decided against their entree options and instead went with sliders, mac and cheese, and finger food to keep it fun and easy. Since this family owns the Dillinger as well you know their food is good. They don't do wedding tastings so be aware of that. Food is served buffet style. They provide table cloth, napkins, and chairs but they only have 50 something "nice" chairs and the rest are folding black chairs. These are all things Larry explained early on and we agreed to but as time went on it did feel kind of sad to have some guests in folding chairs and some not. The only complaint I have about our experience was with the bar. We were originally interested in buying an open bar package but Larry insisted that it was a rip off and that we should just pay as we go and we can set a limit but we would never drink as much alcohol as it would cost to buy the package. We did. He even said he could give us the option to pay whichever was less money but we didn't sign anything stating that so it didn't hold up the night of. Whatever you decide to do, get it in writing and make sure everyone understands what's going on, especially the person paying the tab and your wedding coordinator so they can deal with any misunderstandings and not have to involve the bride and groom. Understand the cost of whatever alcohol you expect your guests to drink. We had asked Larry to stock Prosecco which he agreed to do but the night of, the bartender said it wasn't on the list and she'd have to charge $12 a glass for it. Forge is a beautiful venue and we had a great time there. Just know that Larry can sometimes be blunt or set in his ways and you have to work around that. I highly recommend getting a wedding coordinator to make sure everything is set up the way you want it. Larry is not in charge of getting all your details right. He is providing a space. I would definitely have another event at Forge, but I would be better prepared the next time.

We had a family wedding here. Great location and gorgeous venue to make all wedding dreams come true. Beautiful! Everything our bride was looking for. All wedding planning involving the owner, Larry and The Forge Social House prior to the wedding was easy and exciting. Larry had all our plans and aware of all the details and he assured our bride and the families all dreams would be met down to the smallest detail... everything was dreamy until the day before the big day. The day before the wedding Larry gave our bride a terrible time. The bride requested no black linens! There were black linens! The linen situation was not fixed! Still charged for the linens. NO TABLE FOR THE CAKE! Which was included in our planning.A seating chart was given in advance. Tables were set all wrong, seating arrangements all over the place. Larry was very rude to our bride and brushed her off, not fixing his mistakes. Which! Were easy fixes!!!! Larry totally disregarded all important details... seating is a big deal Larry, so is a cake table and linens. The venue has a particular place in the venue to put a cake table... well he did not use it for this wedding. A few other small details were missed. The food was unremarkable, not the most delicious food which was promised. Watery mac N cheese! During the wedding celebrations Larry thought it appropriate to stroll around the venue, including the dance floor staring at everyone. Very, very strange and made a few people uncomfortable. Not sure what was up with that. If getting married here make sure that you have a wedding planner or a day-of planner. The brides day-of planner put the tables and chairs where they were supposed to be & sorted out the cake table. Get your own linens! Also, ask Larry to keep out of sight until the wedding is over, he is not a guest. Also!!! Only 2 solo bathrooms...loo lines are never fun when the dance floor is hopping!

This place was the perfect reception venue for our intimate wedding. We wanted something rustic and not the stereotypical Vegas wedding... and living in Vegas, it was somewhat difficult to find one with the right price. My husband asked his parents if they knew people that knew places with a rustic setting. One of their acquaintances recommended we looked into Forge Social House which was fairly new. Once we saw the pictures online, we contacted Larry to visit the site. He was very kind, and informative with all the things they provided: food, chairs, tables, napkins, mist machine, and lighting. They have different bar packages and appetizer packages also if you wanted to add these. The only thing they don't provide are desserts and cake, as well as DJ (and equipments, but they have regular surround system music just like any restaurants). I do wish we had time to enjoy our food a bit more but since we had to greet our guests and follow our evening itinerary we weren't able to truly savor the food we had.[As a side note during wedding planning: Remember, if you do verbally agree with your vendors on certain things or prices, make sure it also state this on your contract.]Anyway, the number of people present during our wedding were a total of about 68ppl. This place can probably fit up to 85ppl comfortably. They do only have 1 stall bathroom for each gender which is the downside but the good out-weighed the bad. Our friends and family enjoyed themselves, and the staffs were friendly and kept out of the way of our guests.

The Forge social House in Boulder City is by far a prime venue for any event you have in mind. The owner, Larry, is a great guy and very accommodating. Recently celebrated a sweet friends birthday and it was a hit! The motif is rustic, sort of barn Chic with an industrial twist to it. It has a balcony over looking a courtyard. DJ they are affiliated with kept the party popping and Lauren at the bar poured exceptional drinks!I thought the drive from Henderson was a deterring factor but it was completely worth the it 100%.

A truly outstanding place to host your private event. The space itself is gorgeous, the food and bar service is outstanding, and the owner was a delight to work with. We've hosted three events with Forge Social House over the last several years, two within the last month, and, being 'Boulder' residents, have gone to two or three additional times as invited guests. Always impressed. We so lucky to have this gem in our city!
