Doris and the other staff at the Armory were amazing. The venue is perfect for every wedding need. We were able to use the spot for the rehearsal, the ceremony, and the reception. Very little decorating is necessary because the place is so beautiful.

The venue is beautiful, like an old ballroom. It is easy to decorate and doesn't need too much. You can get it the Thursday before a Saturday event to decorate. Also, there are no certain caterers to work with so its your choice and you can do whatever you want with the alcohol as well. They are very flexible and easy to work with for a great price.
