Weddings at The Arbory
About:
The Arbory Chicago is an industrial-chic wedding venue located in Chicago, Illinois. Nestled in the historic West Town, this 100-year-old converted warehouse blends vintage charm with contemporary sophistication. The building’s renovation was inspired by turn-of-the-century New Orleans, and the facility now features six sweeping skylights, custom millwork, old Chicago brick, and state-of-the-art amenities. Murals painted by local artists adorn the exterior, bringing a curated and one-of-a-kind feel to the space. Just minutes from the Loop, Logan Square, and O’Hare International Airport, the property is centrally located in the heart of the urban metropolis. Take a tour to experience the elegant, refined, and spacious setting in which you can make timeless memories with all your loved ones.
When you enter The Arbory Chicago, you will be greeted by breathtaking exposed brick walls and natural light, which filters in from the skylights above. To the left you will find a get-ready en-suite, where you can prepare for the festivities and enjoy champagne with your wedding party. This area also features a staging area and a fully equipped prep kitchen. To your right is an aisle that leads to the ceremony location. Custom doorways open from this spot to the dreamy reception banquet hall, which is draped with Italian café lights and can accommodate 175 guests. This convenient setup avoids a room flip and allows for flexibility when decorating each phase of your celebration. The reception area, “skylight room” comes with two bars, lounge furniture to seat 6, gender-neutral bathrooms, and plenty of room for dining and dancing late into the night.
The Arbory Chicago offers a range of décor and services to ensure your wedding is breezy and stress-free. These include custom wood tables, antique chairs, lounge furniture, candle treatment, and a beautiful copper arch for exchanging vows. Digital lighting, sound enhancements, video projectors, and screens are also provided, as are technicians who will manage the lighting and sound. To help make sure that everything runs smoothly, a venue coordinator will be on hand throughout the planning process and on the big day. The facility is ADA accessible and security is available for the safety of all your guests.

“There are so many venues in Chicago…when my now husband and I began our search, we had no idea where to start. We had several venues saved, and decided to go see The Arbory on a whim. The minute we walked in, we fell in love. The lighting, the plants, and all the tiny but intentional details really sold us. It felt like the perfect space to host all of our family and friends. Shay was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire process in making sure our day was amazing. We loved having our wedding here!!!” – Isabelle
“The Arbory was an absolute dream wedding venue for us! The space itself is stunning, with endless opportunities to personalize it and make it your own. The venue provides beautiful touches like string lights, candles, furniture, plants, and more to perfectly fit the vibe of any event. What truly stood out to us was Shay and the entire Arbory team. During our initial venue search, I had trouble reaching other venues, as Chicago is always busy with weddings! While we knew The Arbory was a popular spot, Shay was consistently responsive and incredibly helpful from the very beginning. This made a huge difference, as it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed during the planning process. We’re so grateful for the care and attention the team gave us, which made our experience all the more memorable!” -Molly
