Imagine a collection of historic inns, restored to luxury, with beautiful balconies and porches overlooking pristine Cayuga Lake. Picture sweeping lawns that roll down to the water’s edge, where the sun sets each night in a riot of golden hues. Add exquisite artwork, from-scratch meals, and all of the on-site assistance you never knew you needed. Visit and see why we’ve been hailed by BRIDES as the “perfect place for a weekend wedding” and by Country Living as “America’s best-kept secret.”

Blending history with modernity. SKY Armory is an urban, chic venue in the heart of downtown Syracuse NY. Featuring three loft-style ballrooms that can accommodate events from 50-900 guests. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a gala, or a corporate event, we’ll take care of all the details. Our event teams work closely with our clients to create not just events, but experiences that are extraordinary and memorable. Each couple getting married at SKY Armory falls in love (pun intended) with how flexible we are with our event spaces. We like to say 'mi casa, su casa' because we want you to know that when you're in our home, it's your home and want your style reflected in all aspects of the celebration. Instead of saying 'no,' we find a way.

We are hoping to create a memorable experience in our extraordinary setting. We are located at the beautiful historic old Sinclair Chair Factory built in 1871 on Skaneateles Creek. With gorgeous views and attention to historic detail, our goal is to produce a unique setting to create memories of a lifetime. Guests have all day access, will be the only event occurring in our facility that day, and have 100% of our attention! We are only 1.9 miles from the center of Skaneateles village. The village offers a multitude of attractions with many great eateries, bars, clothing stores, antique shops and more. Also, the lake provides a great opportunity for fun activities with friends and family.
