The Arbory was hands down the most beautiful venue in Chicago. From the moment we walked through the door, we could already picture our dream wedding there. The rustic charm, warm tones, wooden tables, and lush greenery instantly sold us.
Shay was amazing to work with—so professional, prompt, and always on top of things. I usually sent emails around 8 PM because of my work schedule, and without fail, she'd reply first thing the next morning. She made the entire planning process smooth, and our final walkthrough was seamless thanks to her organization and attention to detail.
Our family was in charge of decorating the space, and Shay graciously allowed us to arrive a bit early to set up. The flexibility and support meant so much to us.
Our guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was. Truly, if you're looking for a stunning, warm, and unique space for your wedding—look no further. The Arbory is the best venue in Chicago!

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!

The Arbory is the most beautiful venue we could have ever asked for. Our guests absolutely loved the space. Our pictures so far have turned out perfect. The space would get 5 stars alone. The plants, uplighting, and electric candles were gorgeous. We loved the tables and chairs. The flow of the night was amazing. It was the perfect day. The staff is very business like, not the usual warm wedding people. I wouldn't say that we built a relationship with the people we were working with. We booked through one person, did our final walk through with another, and then a different person worked our wedding.

Their team was amazing to work with and easily brought our vision to life. Our guests were in awe over the space...we still are, too! You absolutely will not regret this venue for your wedding.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Arbory as a wedding venue. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were blown away by the modern jungalow vibes and stunning surroundings. The space is so beautiful and full of living plants that helped us stretch our floral budget while still creating a gorgeous blossoming space! The team at The Arbory was incredibly accommodating and flexible, allowing us to set up the space exactly as we envisioned for our special day. The bridal suite is amazing and provided a great space for us as a couple to step away and connect throughout the nice. I would also note that we loved the built-in photo/video booth!
One of the most impressive moments was when they seamlessly flipped the ceremony space into the reception area, quickly and stealthily. It was truly a magical transformation. And I have to give a special shoutout to Shay, who went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect and that we were happy. The Arbory truly exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so unforgettable. We highly recommend The Arbory to anyone looking for a stunning and flexible wedding venue.

We loved our wedding at The Arbory! Everyone was really easy to work worth and the space was amazing! We loved the private room for pre/post ceremony and our guests loved the photo/video booth! The two semi-separate rooms made it so everyone could enjoy the party no matter their party style. Everyone felt included but you could also get away to chat. Everyone loved the greenery and murals and the lounge groupings were used all night! We loved having our wedding at The Arbory!

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.

The Arbory was the perfect venue and was exactly what we were looking for when planning our wedding. The space has beautiful exposed brick and the plants are an amazing added bonus! We worked with Shay while planning our wedding and she was prompt to answer any questions we had leading up to our wedding. Wedding day came and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our guests loved the venue and my vision came to life with the help of all of our vendors. I couldn't have asked for a better day. I am so happy with our choice to have our wedding at The Arbory, and would recommend the use of the venue for your future weddings!

I cannot recommend The Arbory enough for your Chicago wedding! The venue was spacious, yet intimate without feeling too crowded. Our guests were in love with the photo/video booth and many of our vendors had worked there before which made the day run smoothly. The space is already designed so beautifully that decorating was easy (and cheap). Shay was fantastic to work with, I don't have a bad thing to say about my experience!!

The Arbory was the first venue we toured and we immediately knew it was the one for us. We loved the skylights and brick walls, the pink private suite and cozy lounge sets, the video/photo booth and disco ball on the dance floor, and most of all, the 200+ plants that make the space feel so lush and inviting. We worked with Shay and Allison, and they were both kind, responsive, and professional. All of our guests were raving about the venue and we couldn't be happier that we chose to get married at The Arbory!

We had the wedding of our literal dreams at this venue! The Arbory is stunning and had everything i dreamed of- plants galore, with a beautiful chandelier and stunning bridal suite and wall art and brick! Every aspect is stunning! The aesthetic is one you know and instantly recognize/desire if it’s yours. Let me tell you it will never disappoint. Candle walls and plant walls, Even the bathrooms are on point lol. The event space aside, the team is incredible. The venue allows you to use vendors you desire, with their approval. You are able to choose anything to your hearts desires, and never forced into anything, which many venues do. I love this aspect, i was able to cater phenomenal food, and drinks vendors as well as do a lot of things myself due to their accommodations. They were so great, they also were able to hire out staff for me as well which was incredibly helpful as they were vetted and trustworthy.
Prior to the event they gave me great tours and explained so many things to me (when you know nothing about planning this is key and so helpful, kind, and considerate). They helped me find wedding insurance and explained so many steps. Lastly they were incredibly communicative throughout everything!! Emails like crazy and always responsive. I’m a project manager in my daily life so trust me when i say they were great at project management and communication!
The staff were so sweet and said they really enjoyed the event as well. We’re Arab and had a cultural wedding and they were so accommodating to changes and lateness and many aspects that they may not have been used to! We typically have large events but we managed to commit to the 190 limit and i’m so happy we did because it was STUNNING AND MAGICAL!! Thank you to everyone at the Arbory for all your help!
The space is very intimate and really allows for a stunning event. Everyone loved it!

We loved having our wedding at The Arbory, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue. The plants and candles on the walls helped create a beautiful setting without having to bring in a ton of outside decorations, the skylights added nice natural light during the day, and the video booth added a unique touch. Abby, the owner of The Arbory, was super helpful when showing us around and getting us started, and then Shay went above and beyond as our coordinator. All our communication with Abby and Shay leading up to the weekend was clear and timely, and then everything went smoothly incorporating our other vendors on the day of the wedding.

Shay is amazing! She was great from the beginning of showing us the space to the very end. Her communication about floorplan was so great and she was patient with me as I was figuring out updates!
The space speaks for itself - the woodwork on the doors, the brick, the plants, the lights - the photo opportunities are endless. The ease of flipping rooms went so smoothly and everyone loved being able to spend time in the space. They worked so well with my brother's band to make sure they were set up to play. We are so happy with our decision to get married at The Arbory!

The Arbory is perfection. Shay is amazing. We couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding day. The lighting, layout, murals, and plants! It all makes the venue feel so special and unique. During our wedding we received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and that they had never been to such an incredible space. If I could afford to get married every weekend, I would have my wedding at The Arbory every time.

We were largely in contact with Shay from the beginning, but communication from everyone at the Arbory was great. The venue is beautiful - there are so many amazing spots for photos. Our day was perfect and flawless. We have zero regrets about going with the Arbory and even had vendors compliment the team's professionalism and flexibility. We felt the price was very fair too for how beautiful the venue is just on its own. We had so many guests tell us it was one of the most beautiful venues they've ever been to. 10/10!

We had the best experience at the Arbory for our January wedding. 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.

I hosted my wedding at the Arbory, and I cannot say enough about how incredible the experience was. From start to finish, everything about this venue was beyond amazing.
One of the standout features that drew us to the Arbory was its versatility. The fact that they had separate rooms for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception made our wedding day flow seamlessly. It allowed us to create distinct atmospheres for each part of the celebration, and it was a key factor in making our day truly special.
The staff at the Arbory, led by the wonderful Shay, were an absolute dream to work with. Their professionalism and willingness to accommodate our requests made the planning process a breeze. Shay's dedication and attention to detail ensured that everything went off without a hitch, and we can't thank her and the team enough for their hard work and commitment to making our day perfect.
As for the venue itself, it's nothing short of breathtaking. The Arbory's unique design and aesthetic allowed us to personalize our space to fit our specific vision and vibe for the day. Whether you're going for a classic, rustic, or contemporary look, this venue can transform to suit your preferences. The ambiance and setting added a touch of magic to our celebration, and it was truly a sight to behold.
The feedback we received from our guests was overwhelming. The beauty and functionality of the Arbory left everyone in awe, and we received countless compliments on the venue. It's a place that exudes charm and sophistication, and it played a significant role in making our day so memorable.
In conclusion, I can't recommend the Arbory enough. From its incredible flexibility to the professionalism of its staff and the sheer beauty of the venue, it's a wedding dream come true. Our experience was flawless, and I am grateful to the Arbory team for helping us create a day that will forever be etched in our hearts.

The Arbory is located in a convenient-to-reach but not too crowded neighborhood, West Town. The venue is very beautiful, and incorporates plants seamlessly and naturally as per its namesake. It is also fairly priced. The staff are very professional and responsive, providing a great tour as well as a detailed walkthrough before the wedding day!
We loved working with them, and our guests all commented on how amazing the venue was. Highly recommended.

My husband and I just got married at the Arbory this past week, and it was an absolutely perfect venue! We had both our ceremony and reception on site, and we had so many compliments from our guests on how unique and beautiful the venue was! They have done an amazing job decorating the brick space with tons of greenery, beautifully painted murals, and unique design pieces. We had to do absolutely no decorating on our own - which was a big plus for us! The staff is also amazing. They are so kind and helpful, and were even willing to help us out with tasks throughout the evening that they certainly did not need to help us with. Highly, highly recommend!!

The Arbory was only the second wedding venue we visited and immediately on walking in (still under construction) we knew it was the one for us. The venue is the only one in the city that has managed to balance popular industrial vibes with soft, natural, earthy elements. The attention to detail in the murals, plants, living greenery, custom doors and bars is incredible. Working with Allison White was also wonderful. She welcomed us back to the venue multiple times and kept us updated on the progress--it was totally stress free to work with her. When I left the Arbory at the end of the night I was honestly not sad that wedding planning was over, but I was sad I would probably not ever be in the Arbory again.

The Arbory is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff are lovely. We consistently received prompt replies to any email questions we sent over. From touring, to booking, to day of, everything was seamless and easy! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the greenery and lounge furniture are such nice touches. Having tables and chairs through the venue is also a huge benefit. The murals on the walls make gorgeous photo backdrops. There is currently construction on the road, so you can’t park right in front of the venue, but there is free street parking right around the corner, and none of our guests had any issues. Overall, the Arbory is a phenomenal venue!

If you're looking for a cool, moody (but still romantic), modern, urban place to get married - look no further! When my husband and I first saw the space, we were welcomed by Allison who provided an incredibly thoughtful tour of the space and gave us a million and one ideas on how our day could go... It's no surprise that we ended up choosing exactly what she suggested! While they have a preferred vendor list for catering, they were flexible with florals, decor, and DJ. Even though we had a small wedding (for a space that can fit much more!), Allison and team were able to make the space feel intimate for both the ceremony and reception; as if they could only fit the exact number of guests we had (~65 guests). The staging room was perfect for me and my bridesmaids to get settled and take photos prior to the ceremony (SO many photo ops!) Honestly, I could keep going... But seriously, I highly recommend The Arbory to those looking. Everything about it was incredible!

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!

My husband and I had our dream disco wedding at the Arbory this past August. The space is absolutely stunning. Even though we went a bit overboard with disco balls and tons of extra greenery for our "Jungle Boogie" wedding, you really don't need much for this venue. The murals, greenery walls, pops of plants, and skylights makes this space incredibly unique and inviting. The videobooth guestbook was a hit, our guests absolutely loved it. We especially loved watching them ourselves post wedding as we re-lived the night. Now onto the people who helped make it happen. Allison was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly responsive and helpful every step of the way during our 1 year of planning. When we came across any obstacles she was ready with a solution. We seriously could not have picked a better place for our dream wedding. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this venue :)

We absolutely loved the Arbory and couldn't be happier that we decided to book our wedding here. Our wedding was a group of 100 people and the space was perfect- intimate but not too crowded. We had lots of comments from guests that also enjoyed the venue and were pleasantly surprised by it's ability to discretely and elegantly divide up space. Allison was a joy to work with and I love and respect her enthusiasm for the venue and her work overall. She was very accommodating with some requests we had, and helped make our special day and the lead up to it extra smooth. Highly recommend the Arbory to anyone considering, and definitely recommend upgrading to include the disco ball on the dance floor, which was a total hit with our guests!

I booked the Arbory for my wedding in July 2022, I actually booked them while they were not yet open and under construction back in 2021, but the Allison the venue manager was so passionate about the vision of the arbory that we were convinced that it was where we wanted to get married. Come July 2022, The arbory was ready for us, everything allison described to us on paper was there in real life and more! We had our ceremony and reception there with 100+ of our friends and family in the evening, and it was a dream. The skylights were the real MVPs, during the early evening it brought in natural light for our ceremony, and at night there were, unscheduled and random, fireworks going off in the street and you could see it in the night sky while we danced underneath it. It was such a movie moment. I can’t promise that that will happen for everyone’s event, but this is the place where it happened for us.
I also wanted to give a quick shout out to all my favorite features of the arbory, the beautiful pink bridal suite, the hand painted floral murals, the chandeliers, the hand crafted wood doors, the gorgeous and plentiful bathrooms, the living plant wall and all the wonderful ambient lighting In the form of cafe string lights and uplighting to create a mood. Also our guests’ favorite feature was the built in photo booth, there’s a small room that they converted to a photo/video booth with a selfie-light, an ipad setup with software for photos and videos and a grass backdrop wall, “sound-proof” door (our music was very loud, but it did its best). Our guests left us sweet little video messages that we will cherish and our guests lined up for it since it was a great well-lit space to get a photo with the bride and groom.
Thanks Allison and the Arbory for making our wedding extra special for us and our guests.

She was also incredibly helpful and went above and beyond the day of to help with whatever she could- our wedding would not have happened or have run as smooth without her!

We are still processing the immense love and support we received from our friends and families at our wedding, and the day would not have been possible without the AMAZING team and venue that is The Arbory. Allison, the venue manager, was above and beyond in all the ways; they live-streamed our wedding for our guests who we couldn't invite due to COVID-19 (which was so professionally executed); the venue is better than any Pinterest inspirations we've seen. The skylight, the beautiful hand-painted murals, and the industrial yet aesthetic interior and exterior were beyond what I dreamt about. With the flexibility to split our event into two cohesive and spaces (ceremony & reception) made our wedding flow so smooth. We had so much to work with when it came to decoration because of the thoughtful interior that was already built into The Arbory. Honestly, I would do this all over again (of course with the same husband) if I could!!! I cannot wait to see how The Arbory grows and hosts more events and weddings, and if you're looking to be a one-of-a-kind bride, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.

I was the coordinator for the Blackmon/Bryant wedding on 8/28 at the Arbory and it was the perfect location. It was intimate and warm, with gorgeous decor. There are also cool and eclectic areas in the immediate vicinity for amazing photos.
Also, the on-site hosts are engaged and helpful--I'd definitely recommend The Arbory for your wedding or event.
