About

On WeddingWire since 2021

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.

Services Offered
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.

Incredible experience!

We had an incredible experience with The Arbory and are so happy to recommend it. We worked with Shay, whose attention to detail, professionalism, and quick responses helped our day run smoothly and put us both at ease. The venue itself is gorgeous, a perfect Chicago urban chic aesthetic, complete with beautiful murals, exposed brick, plants, natural light, and a stunning chandelier. The bridal suite is also a gorgeous perk that became a safe haven when we needed a moment of quiet. The photo ops are endless, the vibe is great, and it's truly a beautiful place to celebrate love in Chicago.

Beautiful venue!

The Arbory is a beautiful venue and worked out perfectly for our wedding. We really enjoyed the attention to detail incorporated into the design of the space which made for a very unique event. Because the Arbory has so much decor already, we really didn't need to add much more. Shay and team are great to work with and handled our wedding wonderfully. They were able to provide flexibility which really helped with our tight schedule of events and the parking lot rental a block away was a huge bonus!

Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a loft-style venue in Chicago, where you don’t need to bring in a ton of decor to make the space beautiful, I would highly recommend The Arbory!

The space is flawlessly decorated, and the greenery and plants throughout make the space feel so special. Shay and the rest of The Arbory team were amazing to work with as well.
