Located along the gorgeous St. Joseph River, The Armory is equipped with hardwood floors, a vaulted timber ceiling, large elegant period chandeliers and exposed brick and mortar dating back to the 1920’s. The space was originally used as an armory, and what used to be the shooting range is now Iron Hand Winery which is attached to the event space with one of the best views of the St. Joseph River in town. A bridal dressing room and a built in expansive bar complete the space.

We recently had our wedding at The Armory and could not be happier! From beginning to end Megan made the entire process easy and helped us stay on track in the midst of our busy schedules over the past 6-12 months. And on wedding day she was there every step of the way keeping things going and on schedule. The venue, food, bar, all top notch and nothing short of amazing. Can't recommend The Armory, Megan, and Navarre enough! Reviewed on 28-11-2023

While my husband and I had our wedding ceremony elsewhere, Megan and her team made our wedding reception fantastic from beginning to end. All of my communications with her were extremely helpful and clear, and the day itself went smoothly without any problems (at least anything major enough that we knew about it)! The food was great, the place looked beautiful, and everyone involved was so friendly.We were able to come in a day early to set up our decor, and the Armory team even lit the candles on the day itself, so the whole experience was extremely positive and saved us stress on the wedding day. I would absolutely recommend this venue. Reviewed on 27-11-2023

Megan is absolutely wonderful. She is so easy to get along with and really wants to make your vision come to life. She is quick to respond and very open to any changes along the way. The armory is beautiful and I am so glad I had my wedding there. Reviewed on 06-09-2023

As a wedding planner who is local to the area, I can say that Armory is a top notch venue!!! They have a killer staff to work with. Megan is amazing and always is prompt to answer questions and send reminders. I highly recommend utilizing as much as you can from them, whether that be their packages for food and bar, their linens, or flatware, glassware, and china! Megan makes things a breeze and is also an amazing resource to help recommend any vendors you still need to book. My husband and I can't say enough good things. We had every guest from our wedding tell us that it was the most beautiful venue they've ever been too and that the meals were amazing. Can't wait to see the photos from the night. Thanks Armory and Navarre team!!! Reviewed on 22-06-2023

We got so many compliments on how beautiful it was, and the bar and mirror space cannot be beat!! Reviewed on 20-08-2022

Danielle Gaff(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-04-2022 I can't say enough about this venue and the team. We held both our ceremony and reception here. Because of the weather, we had to do pictures inside. Thankfully, the venue is STUNNING and the photos are unbelievable. We had a vision of what we wanted and Ashley and the team made it all happen. People are STILL talking about the wedding. It was easy on me as a bride because the venue is so stunning, you don't need much in terms of decorating. This is the perfect spot for a ceremony and reception. The inside is stunning and the bridal suite is perfect. I couldn't have dreamed of a better place to host our dream wedding. I cannot say enough about The Armory. It was a DREAM! Reviewed on 15-04-2022
Shelby Cooke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-04-2021 The Armory was the PERFECT place for our reception! We absolutely loved it! It is such a beautiful space, and we loved the balcony where we were introduced to our guests as husband and wife. Ashley was great to work with as we prepared for our wedding, and we were so grateful for her help and attention to detail at our reception. Reviewed on 07-05-2021
Alexandra Pierce(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2020 The Armory was the absolute perfect place for our wedding reception of 125 people. Melissa was wonderful to work with and made the process so easy. Our tasting was delicious (decided on an amazingggg pork chop!). The food was wonderful. We took full advantage of the bridal suite upstairs for getting ready and it was a dreamy place that easily fit 12 people to get hair and makeup done. Melissa was easy to communicate with and offered full support as we were navigating the global pandemic. Reviewed on 06-08-2020
