About this venue
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.
Facilities and Capacity
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.

10/10 Wedding at the Arbory
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the lighting, photo/video booth, dance floor setup, bar area, and wedding party suites were all unbeatable.

Dream Wedding
Beautiful Venue
Wedding Venue of Our Dreams
What truly sets this venue apart, though, is the people. Shay is exceptional! She is warm, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your day everything you hope for and more. Their attention to detail, organization, and calm confidence made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. When people commented on how I was such a calm bride, I knew it was because Shay and her team were the best and we could relax and trust them to make our vision come alive.
We received countless compliments from our guests about the venue, the experience, and the incredible staff. Guests loved the romantic moody vibes, open space, and super fun photo and video booth! If you are looking for a venue that is not only stunning but also comes with outstanding service and thoughtful amenities this is truly a dream choice. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.
