1 month agoWe had the absolute best day of our lives thanks to Shay and the amazing team at the Arbory! From the moment we toured, no other venue compared. The live greenery, murals, skylights, and exposed brick were just the perfect blend of eclectic and sophisticated. Shay was so easy to communicate with and made our day go off without a hitch. Our vendors all had positive experiences with the Arbory beforehand. You really don’t need a ton of decor when booking this space, but don’t pass up on the disco ball and up lighting for your reception. 10/10.

From the moment my husband and I walked into The Arbory, we fell in love. Our venue search ended after we saw it! Coordinating with Shay was an absolute breeze! She was kind, patient, and so responsive no matter how many questions I had along the way. The entire team made the planning process stress-free and the day itself flowed seamlessly. The venue is not only stunning but filled with people who genuinely care about creating a magical experience. We are endlessly grateful to The Arbory for helping us start our forever in such a beautiful and meaningful way.
