The Bel Air Armory was originally built in 1915, becoming the town’s Civilian Defense Headquarters during World War II. After the war, it was repurposed as a community center, housing important services such as the Red Cross. In August of 2004, the Armory was donated to the Town of Bel Air who has since been dedicated to maintaining and renovating this historic building.

A perfect venue!

My husband and I got married May 18, 2024 and we had our reception at the Armory. The price was reasonable ($150 per hour) and the hall was spacious enough to hold all 100 of guests with plenty of room for dancing! The staff was very helpful and easy to communicate with. If you are planning an event I'd recommend this venue.
