The Arbory — Weddings & Private Events in West Town

Located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, The Arbory brings together the character of a century-old lumber warehouse and the atmosphere of a greenery-filled event space. With exposed industrial details, oversized skylights, living plant walls, and natural light, the venue offers a distinctive setting for weddings, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, and private celebrations.

The Arbory features approximately 8,000 square feet of event space arranged across two connected, flexible areas. Its design includes custom wood tables, lounge furniture, two bars, and dedicated suites. The venue accommodates up to 200 guests for weddings and up to 300 for cocktail-style receptions, depending on the event arrangement.

For corporate events, The Arbory offers audiovisual equipment and optional production services for presentations, branded experiences, and other professionally organized gatherings. Its greenery and skylights create an indoor setting with some of the visual appeal of an outdoor celebration, without depending on an outdoor ceremony space.
