East Stroudsburg, PA – The Armory Events announced the launch of its Vows of Valor Giveaway, a community-driven initiative awarding a fully produced wedding valued at over $40,000 to a military member or veteran.
The wedding will take place on June 12, 2026, at The Armory’s historic venue, once used by the National Guard. The winning couple will receive a complete wedding experience for up to 60 guests, with all major vendor services donated by participating local businesses.
Applications for the giveaway open December 30, 2025, and will be accepted through January 31, 2026. Eligible service members may apply directly or be nominated by friends or family.
“This initiative is our way of honoring both the service and sacrifice of military families and the history of our space by giving one deserving couple a stress-free wedding experience they may not otherwise be able to afford,” said Kasie Romagno, from The Armory Events.
Participating vendors include catering, photography, videography, floral design, entertainment, transportation, beauty services, and event production. A fundraising campaign has also been established to offset physical and material costs associated with the event, with donations processed through The Armory Arts and Historical Preservation Society, the non-profit that owns The Armory Events building. The selected couple will be announced shortly after the application period closes.
