    My husband and I had our first date at Armature Works so we thought it would be amazing to also get married there. The team at Armature was incredible. They were very upfront about any costs and fees, and they were willing to work with us to make adjustments in order to get pricing within our budget. We worked with Rachel throughout our wedding planning process and she was fantastic. She responded quickly to our emails and was able to answer any and all questions. Between she and our wedding planner (Erika O'Brien) we were able to enter our wedding weekend with ease and very little stress. The location itself was absolutely beautiful and we were able to turn our spaces into our dream wedding.
