Dahlgren Hall: A Big Space for Big Moments
Formerly an armory, ice rink, Ring Dance floor, and now home to one of the Navy’s first airplanes, Dahlgren Hall is an architectural marvel and one of Annapolis’s most dramatic event spaces. Beneath its vaulted ceilings, soaring trusses, festive lights, regal U.S. state and territory flags, and full-sized 1911 Navy B-1 Wright Flyer, history and celebration converge for memories that last a lifetime. With a second-story balcony and a story that mirrors the Academy itself, Dahlgren Hall offers the perfect stage for statement weddings, galas, and other milestone moments that deserve to shine.
