Where Unforgettable Weddings Come to Life
Your Wedding Ceremony Deserves More Than a Backdrop
The moments before you say your vows, the walk down the aisle, the first look across the room, these are the ones people carry with them for years. The space where they happen matters.
At SKY Armory, ceremonies are offered exclusively for couples hosting their reception with us. That means your ceremony and celebration take place in the same beautifully designed romantic venue, with one team managing every transition so nothing interrupts the flow of your day.

Can we have our ceremony and reception at the same venue?
Yes, and it's one of the most popular choices our couples make. Adding a ceremony to your reception package means everything happens in one place, managed by one team.
Do you offer ceremonies for couples not hosting their reception here?
We primarily offer ceremony and reception packages together so we can provide a seamless experience throughout your wedding day. However, we will accommodate ceremony-only weddings held Monday through Thursday, based on availability. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
How long is the ceremony?
Your wedding package includes an additional hour before your six-hour reception for the ceremony. This typically allows for 30 minutes of guest arrival time and a 30-minute ceremony, but we're happy to provide additional time if you're planning a longer ceremony.
Can we customize the ceremony layout?
Absolutely. Our planning team works with you on seating arrangements, aisle design, backdrop styling, and floral installations to create a ceremony setup that reflects your personal style.
Is there a space for the wedding party to prepare before the ceremony?
Yes. Early arrival is included for the wedding party, giving you time for photos and preparation before guests are seated.
What happens between the ceremony and reception?
After your ceremony, guests will transition directly into the reception space. Because there are no room flips, the flow from ceremony to celebration is seamless, allowing your day to continue without unnecessary delays. We'll work with you during the planning process to create a timeline that keeps everything moving smoothly.
Can we bring in our own officiant?
Yes. You are welcome to bring in the officiant of your choice. Our team will coordinate with them on timing and logistics. We have an ordained team member who can be (and has been) a back-up if your officiant suddenly can't be there.
