Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Armory Events, East Stroudsburg

A wedding at The Armory in East Stroudsburg looks nothing like a barn or a hotel ballroom. Exposed brick walls, towering steel beams and handmade wooden tables give your wedding photos and video an industrial, city-loft feel, and the building is yours alone for the day, since only one event is held at a time.

You can hold the wedding ceremony on the main floor or downstairs in front of a lush fern wall, a softer, green setting that feels very different from the brick upstairs. Getting ready happens here too. The Birds Nest Suite on the upper level has vanities for hair and makeup, room to hang dresses, a full-length mirror and a kitchenette, plus a private balcony looking over the main floor, a fun spot for a sneak peek and early pictures. The Bunker Suite downstairs has several rooms, couches, a fireplace and games like pool and darts for the rest of the wedding party.

Your wedding reception seats up to 200 guests, at long family-style farmhouse tables or round tables with black Chiavari chairs. Dinner can be plated, stations or a buffet, and the room is set up for a DJ or a live band. The Armory welcomes outside vendors, so you can bring the caterer and planner you like. Weddings of 70 to 200 guests fit the regular packages best, and smaller groups can be arranged. Ask your videographer to look at where the band sets up and how the lighting changes for the first dance.

• Visit at a monthly open house or book a weekday tour.
• Walk from the suites to the ceremony and reception with your photographer before your wedding day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and parking.

A little about The Armory Events

The building opened in 1929 as the East Stroudsburg Armory and housed the National Guard; the old officers' lounge is now the bridal suite. A nonprofit society runs it today, and event bookings help pay for its restoration.
