OLIVIA AND SELDON GATHER AT THE ARMORY FOR THEIR SOUTH BEND WEDDING | DJ

Vendor relationships mean everything when it comes to producing an amazing wedding for our clients. We are so grateful to have preferred vendor status with many area venues, photographers, and other wedding professionals, and one of our favorites in the South Bend is Navarre Hospitality Group. Lately we’ve been blessed to work with the Navarre team at The Armory, the event space attached to Iron Hand Wine Bar along the St. Joe River in South Bend, for three of the last four weddings. Olivia and Seldon’s wedding reception made up the final event of that run, and what a way to finish it off!

Alexandra and Kevin found love in a bar. No, seriously! Let’s explain … This Dallas TX-based couple were both attending Murray State University in small-town Kentucky and studying bio-chem when a mutual friend suggested they should meet up at a local bar. Rance, the Groom’s Best Man, explained what happened next in his speech: He went into a bar for a fun night with his buddy and before long found himself all-alone in said bar as Kevin had quickly ditched him completely for Alexandra! The rest, as they say, is history.

Unique, one-of-a-kind venues are places that make us excited to be a part of a wedding, and The Armory in South Bend falls perfectly into that category.  Brick walls, refinished wood floors, industrial ceilings - woohoo! And that's exactly what South Bend sweethearts Brit and Jeremy wanted for their wedding reception.

The Armory was the former Newman Recreation Center, located at Eddy Street and Northside Boulevard across from the South Bend Farmer’s Market.  Thankfully developer Brad Emberton saw more in this building and spearheaded the renovation project along with Kurt Janowsky from Navarre Hospitality Group.
