The Arbory
A Contemporary Chicago Wedding Venue with Urban Garden Style
For couples searching for a wedding space that blends modern design with a natural touch, The Arbory is one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Chicago. Nestled in the city’s vibrant West Town neighborhood, The Arbory combines industrial architecture with lush greenery, offering an indoor-outdoor feel that’s both stylish and inviting. With high ceilings, exposed brick, and botanical-inspired décor, this venue provides a fresh and flexible setting for celebrations that are modern, romantic, and full of personality.
The main event space features expansive windows that flood the room with natural light, while the lofted ceilings and greenery-accented walls create an atmosphere that feels urban yet organic. Couples can exchange vows surrounded by soft textures and contemporary details, then transition seamlessly into dinner and dancing in the same beautifully designed space. The outdoor courtyard, strung with café lights and surrounded by city views, offers an ideal spot for cocktail hour or a summer reception under the stars. Whether you envision a minimalist city soirée or a garden-inspired celebration, The Arbory provides the perfect backdrop for your day.
