We loved having our wedding here. Liz was always very helpful and responsive to my emails and many questions. We used the outdoor green space for our ceremony and it was stunning. We loved the charm and atmosphere. The only downside was I couldn’t come in the day before to decorate. I understand everyone has to make a $$ but no one scheduled the inside space for the Friday before our wedding and they were still going to charge us money to set up decorations the day before. As a very hands on bride this was my only complaint as I wish I could have had that opportunity to decorate and see all my hard work come together. It all worked out in the end though and I have great family who brought my vision to life the day of the wedding I just wish I could have been a part of it.
We couldn't have been more happy with our wedding event. After being rescheduled 2 separate times due to COVID, Liz and company were so accommodating. We got lucky with great weather and the outdoor space is just as great as the indoor space. If you want a space that's big enough for 250+, gives you flexibility from a catering and decorating perspective and won't break the bank, Armory Square is for you.
After having to cancel, rebook, cancel & rebook, was finally able to have my reception at The Armory! So incredibly thankful for Liz & the staff for being flexible as we navigated the wedding season during the pandemic. This space is great & easily customizable- from decorations, bar options & food. We were able to set our own menu & options for the bar. Cannot recommend it enough. Also walking distance from the hotels in Northfield, so you do not need a shuttle bus! 10/10 Stars!
I could not have asked for a better place to get married! I was always the type of person who wanted a destination wedding and the moment I looked at this space with them I knew that was the only place for us to have our wedding! Liz and Jon were very kind, professional and helpful every step of the way. Every detail was handled with care. The space is gorgeous and in my opinion needs minimal decoration and the outdoor space is perfect for a ceremony. Best day ever!
Thank you so much Liz and Donna for all of your help in making our wedding last week so wonderful! We had such a great time and we LOVED the Armory. We enjoyed the process of working with you and thank you for walking us through all the details. The bar staff was super incredible too. We will definitely be following up with positive reviews and recommending this amazing venue to our sphere.
We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the "Lowdown" (lower level) in mid-October, followed by a welcome reception for out of town guests. We had a sit-down dinner for 44 people and then an additional 30 people joined in after the rehearsal. It had a wonderful cozy vibe with so much flexibility on seating and nooks for smaller conversations. It was easy to decorate the venue and give it an elegant, low key feel for the laid back bride and groom to be. It is walking distance from the Fairfield Inn and nicely located in cute downtown Northfield. Liz was tremendous to work with, prompt and thorough with answers to all questions. She was open to ideas and absolutely a 10 out of 10 on meeting our needs. I highly recommend this venue.
