About this venue

Located in a 100 year old manufacturing plant in West Town, our space is the perfect blend of vintage industrial and modern sophistication — outfitted with fully integrated digital capabilities. Taking inspiration from turn of the century New Orleans, our sophisticated warehouse event space is infused with custom millwork and murals by local artisans bringing a highly curated and refined space to Chicago. With six oversized industrial skylights, you can imagine your ceremony taking place under beautiful natural light. Two separate spaces that combine into one via custom doorways allows you to avoid a room turn! Our included amenities allow you to focus more on the details that make your wedding unique and less on bringing in every piece from scratch. Included are custom wood chairs & tables, two bars, lounge furniture, digital integration, and bistro lights. A private suite with en-suite for the couple is included.

    We had the best experience at the Arbory for our January wedding. It was the 3rd space we looked at while planning, and it was clear immediately that it was perfect for us. Our venue rep, Shay, was wonderful and so easy to work with. The venue has relationships with so many other local wedding vendors, and they made it very easy to coordinate all the moving parts. The space was perfect for our 100 guests to move about with plenty of space. The 2 separate rooms make it so easy logistically to do a ceremony into cocktail hour with a room flip, and moving people from one room to the next was no issue at all. So many of our guests loved the space, and said it was so "us". We had the best day ever.

  • Gorgeous Venue, Highly Recommend!

    My husband and I booked The Arbory as our wedding venue. After seeing it last year, when it wasn't completed yet, and meeting with Allison, we felt confident that the venue was exactly what we were looking for! We worked with Allison ahead of the big day and she was easy to communicate with and even invited us back, after the venue was completed, so we could see it in person again. We also worked with Shay closer to the date and she was our venue manager on the day-of the wedding. I am so thrilled and happy we decided to book The Arbory, it is a beautiful venue, full of character, special & unique touches, and yet can still be fully customized to reflect each couple's personality. You can truly tell the team behind the venue understand events because they have crafted the venue so well. We didn't even have to do much with decor because they have so many awesome murals and living walls! The venue also provided a professional and wonderful security guard for our wedding, and we had plenty of street parking available too. We cannot recommend Allison, Shay and The Arbory enough! We have received so many compliments on how beautiful and perfect our venue was, and honestly, it is!
