The Armory

South Bend, IN
  • Venue
  • Up to 500 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,500

From its historical beginnings as a stoic munitions depot, The Armory experienced a beautiful transformation to showcase a sophisticated ballroom, classy built-in bar and impressive commercial kitchen. Original element of the 1928 Armory construction and subsequent Newman Recreations Center were incorporated into the even space renovation to provide the perfect blend of past and present.Iron-barred doors used to secure armers and thick concrete walls reinforced with brick to accommodate the National Guard Armory and shooting range lend a rustic industrial aesthetic. Wood from the recreation center bleachers line the dramatic bar and the orginial hardwood floor was dressed up to grace the ballroom. The vaulted timber ceilings and exposed truss work allow the dazzling period chandeliers an opportunity to lend an air of elegance to the urban decor. Charm abounds in the union of classic architecture with a modern flair.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Armory was absolutely the perfect venue for our August wedding. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was! Megan served as our coordinator and she was amazingly organized, detail-oriented, and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. She was also very flexible, willing to accommodate to our preferences, and work within our budget. Table decor, food, drink packages are all included which made coordinating the reception very easy. The food is through Navarre Catering is delicious - lots of great options to choose from!

I'm Katie Whitcomb. I am a classic wedding photographer based out of the Notre Dame, IN area.

Thank you for coming by. Let me know if I can do anything to help along the way.

Katie is the most amazing wedding photographer. She blows everyone else out of the water; it's not even close. She photographed my brother's Cape Cod wedding last summer and was so amazing that my family had to hire her for my Philly wedding this summer. She is professional, organized, and involved. She provides a wonderful timeline that sketches out your day in terms of photos. She keeps in touch often throughout the engagement process and helps you develop a vision of your wedding. She is kind and fun!!! She is a wonderful "cheerleader" to have with you on your big day in addition to being the best vendor ever. Then there's her photos. They are seriously gorgeous. They are timeless, classic, and romantic. She has developed a craft that is unmatched. All of my guests have been floored with the photos. Katie just the best!

I found photography through a family member who told me I had an eye for beauty. I love it for its capacity to freeze moments in time, to document love in all of its wild and wonderful forms.

Cat was very easy to work with and was a huge help for our wedding day! She was very clear when communicating on what we are doing next and made it as easy as possible for the both of us. She went above and beyond for us with everything! She kept the mood light when things were stressful. She was easy to interact with and made it fun even though it was a long day.

Imagine your perfect wedding day: smiling faces at every turn, the smell of fresh flowers, the wedding cake so glorious you can practically taste the buttercream, and your wedding VIPs rocking out on a packed dance floor that bursts with light and color all set to a soundtrack of your favorite songs. Most.Fun.Wedding.Ever. That’s kinda our specialty. Btw, we're REAL DJs, not some old guy sitting behind a computer screen; and creating energy and life-lasting memories for awesome people is our passion.

Blake (DJ Sticky Boots) is the BEST. From coordinating the reception flow to keeping the dance floor going all night - I could not ask for better. He was very thorough in prep before the wedding and the reception went seamlessly due to him. The music was so fun all night with the dance floor packed the entire time. I got so many compliments after the wedding saying how fun the DJ And dance floor were :-)

Sarah Sage Photography celebrates all couples, no matter their location, religion, sexuality or ethnicity.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Sarah Sage as our wedding photographer was THE best decision my husband (Luke) and I made for our wedding. We loved her SO much that we each decided to write our own review :). Not only is she a very talented photographer, but she also truly cares about each and every one of her couples, which makes her different from any other vendor you will have on your wedding day. We can truly say she is a friend after working with her for our engagement and now wedding. She was super accommodating and compassionate when it came to re-arranging our wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we had to postpone until next year for our big reception, she was willing to drive to Wisconsin for the day to cover our ceremony and some of our “mini-reception” of our wedding day this year. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, not only arriving early to make sure everything was in order, but also even staying later to make sure that we had the most amazing photos. Sarah also gets your wedding photos back to you in record time—we had sneak previews the next day and she had our whole album completed in a few weeks (faster than any of my other friends which took months). The quality of her photos has far exceeded our expectations as well. If you’re looking for a photographer (and friend) that will make your wedding day and the days leading up to your wedding a breeze, then think no more, hire Sarah. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks Sarah for your passion of photography and the amazing memories that you have provided us with your photos!

The team had great ideas too when it came to catering and small details that ultimately improved our guest experience. The venue itself is gorgeous and our guests had a blast. We're still getting compliments on the day. A nice touch was being able to have dinner in the orchard, a last minute decision we made that was recommended by the team and ultimately helped the day flow better.

  • Solo performer

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and the harps at my website.

This lady is a gift from heaven!!! From our first phone conversation, until she left the wedding, my experience with her has been completely enchanting. Her musical training is of the highest quality! She brought magic to our daughter's wedding that never would have been there without Anna. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I do not know the occasion, because I only have one daughter, but I know I will find or manufacture some other occasion so I can hire her again!!!

Hi there…. My name is Tim and I am the owner of this fun wedding film company. Just to let you know, I LOVE WEDDINGS! To be most accurate, I love the stories of the couples we get to film, and yes the cake too! From getting ready early in the morning chilling with your bridesmaids, hearing all the fun stories of how you meet each other to all the moves being busted on the dance floor, I love capturing it all. Even grabbing a few drinks with your bridal party after rehearsal to get to know everyone better. My approach is to know you and your day to tell it the best through a rocking wedding video.

Tim ensures he has everything he needs to capture your wedding vision well before the big day, really getting to know the couple on a personal level and what is most important to them. Tim takes everything he has learned and uses that to make the wedding video as unique and special to the couple.

Fountains splash, birds sing, and trees tower above. The Gardens include over one hundred acres of woods and landscaped areas, providing one of the most beautiful outdoor venues in Northwest Indiana. The Gardens can accommodate a small and intimate wedding ceremony of a few family and friends, or a larger wedding ceremony up to 300 guests. Friendship Botanic Gardens welcomes and honors all marriages of all types. We do not discriminate against anyone. All weddings include chairs, use of the area for three hours and rehearsal privileges. Arrangements can be made for use of the Bridal Cabin and golf cart shuttle with driver to transport guests to the venue. Ceremonies and receptions will be customized by our wedding coordinator. Weddings over 400 guests can be custom designed to suit your needs.

I picked this location because of how beautiful the landscape is. So many different spots on the property to get married on, all beautiful. Different locations cost different price. Overall, relatively cheap compared to other venues. When talking to them, I first started with one wedding coordinator. She left and was informed about the new coordinator. She introduced herself and thought she was awesome. She was very tentative to all the details and was very helpful. I wasn’t informed that she had left and a new coordinator had taken her spot. I didn’t know there was a new coordinator until the day before the wedding. She didn’t take charge of anything. She took a back seat to everything. Told her I had a specific song I wanted to play for walking down the aisle. There wasn’t any sort practice with the song at the rehearsal. She couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to the sound system. She couldn’t figure out how to navigate the song that I had already pulled up on my phone.
