History

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.

Great Venue and Staff!

The Bel Air Armory was a great venue, beautiful both inside and outside. We had our ceremony in the courtyard and the reception inside in the hall. The front steps and the courtyard were perfect settings for our pictures as well! Julia and the other staff were quite responsive and wonderful to work with! I highly suggest the Armory to anybody else looking for a wedding or other event venue!
