Your Vision, Our Forge

Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate retreats, couple's experiences, or something we haven't thought of yet. If it involves fire, steel, or a story worth telling — we're in.

How Special Events Work Every special event starts with a conversation. Tell us what you're imagining and we'll design a custom experience around it. We've hosted everything from birthday forge sessions to wedding celebrations at the anvil. Pricing depends on the activity, group size, and duration — we'll put together a quote after we talk.

Wedding / Anniversary
Forge wedding bands, a commemorative blade, or host a rehearsal dinner experience your guests will never forget.

💑
Couple's Experience
Date night at the forge. Work side by side and each take home a blade you made together. Unforgettable.

All activities from our other categories (sharpening seminars, knife assembly, knife making, blacksmithing) are available for special events too — we just tailor the format, timing, and details to fit your occasion.
