In this episode of The Venue Rx podcast, host Jonathan Aymin interviews Kasie Romagno, the owner of The Armory Arts, a modern industrial venue in the heart of the Poconos. Kasie shares her journey from teaching to managing a wedding venue, drawing on her family's entrepreneurial roots in the concert and real estate industries. She reflects on the challenges of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of maintaining low overhead costs, and the unique dynamics of running a family business. Kasie also discusses the value of clear client communication, the balance between aesthetic appeal and operational efficiency, and her vision for future growth in the wedding industry.

About Our Guest: 

Kasie's venue is more than just a space—it’s a piece of history, lovingly restored and transformed into an ideal setting for special occasions. Originally built in 1929, the building once served as the East Stroudsburg Armory, housing the National Guard and playing a significant role in the nation’s history. Today, it stands as one of only two nationally recognized historic buildings in East Stroudsburg, where the past is preserved and new memories are created.

What was once a shooting range on the lower level has been beautifully repurposed into a serene fern wall ceremony space—a lush, green oasis that provides a stunning backdrop for exchanging vows. The officer’s lounge, once a space for military leaders to strategize, has been reimagined as a luxurious bridal suite, offering a private and elegant area for preparations.

Kasie's connection to this venue is deeply personal, as it was initially created for her own wedding. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, blending the building’s rich history with a passion for hosting unforgettable events. As a family-owned business, the venue is dedicated to ensuring each wedding is truly special, offering a personalized experience that reflects the unique needs and vision of every couple.
