I had to coordinate a corporate dinner for 20 attendees. From day 1, Kali was incredible at giving me all the information I would need, and she was even available to show me the event place on a flash trip I took to Chicago. Details such as linens, napkins, flower placements, music, and the company logo on the menu were just a few of the things that Kali helped me take into consideration for the event. The dinner was incredible! The quality of the food, the attention of the hosts, and the overall ambiance were perfect for what we needed to achieve. Thank you very much, Kali and the entire Sepia Team!

The Walden came through big time on our big day! If you're looking for a Chicago wedding where the ceremony and reception are in one venue space look no further. The Walden was extremely convenient for us and our guests. They also did an amazing job helping us plan the wedding too. They had 2 coordinators who gave us a checklist with every last detail and some we didn't even think about which was very helpful. They would also check in to see how we were doing throughout the year while we were planning. They also recommended a bunch of vendors from previous weddings and all of them were amazing. We also brought in some outside vendors they accommodated. The big thing was the day of everything went flawless! We had 3 day of coordinators who were on top of everything. The food was incredible! I had a guest who was engaged asked where we got it catered. The staff was also great at attending to our every need at our couples table while we got to eat (yes we actually ate at our wedding which was extremely important for my wife). Khalila who was our planning and day of coordinator was a rockstar! When our ceremony ran 15 minutes long, she knew exactly what to do to get us back on track. And when my wife started getting a little bridezillaly she calmed her down right away. All of our guests the next day raved at how much fun they had. It was the perfect day thanks to the perfect venue! I wish I could give 6 out of 5 stars.

Ok! I intend to be VERY HONEST about all my reviews bc I think vendor match is the most essential thing & for everyone. And, I don't even have the words for this one, so multiply everything I'm saying by 120. LM Studio, and Paulette specifically, was the best part of our wedding point blank period. They hit on all accords with us and our guests, and the worst part of the whole occasion is that I can't go back there on the regular and just hang out. MULTIPLE GUESTS including my father, with a lifetime of weddings, said the food was not just good BUT THE BEST WEDDING FOOD they have ever had. There wasn't a single complaint. And we agree just delicious. Scenery vibes - you're not going to do better. From the wall art/decor pierces, paint, textures, fabrics, colors, SO MUCH VELVET - there's so much to see. Guests also reported widely "there's not a single place in this venue that isn't ideal for a photo opp. It was just beautiful and we really wanted something that carried some weight decor wise. This place was my perfect match. Aesthetically, it's millions of bucks. I loved every part of it and going there, taking pictures, and just enjoying the luxury throughout the planning process was also such a joy. There's really so much more I could rave on for days about but the most important thing for couples to know is about Paulette who runs Events and Catering. The best way to sum it up is I want to be friends with Paulette. She made me feel important, like a priority, and really cared for from the proposal process until we said good night at the wedding. She is a gem and such a charismatic pleasure to be around. The people you hire to be around you on this day cannot be undervalued! They are the glue to hold everything together. Paulette worked with us on everything from vision to budget, she is so organized, so everything. I just cannot. I actually intended to write this review the day after my wedding because I love her so much, but still I don't even have the words to really convey the impression she left on us. LM gave me an even more perfect vision of everything I prayed for. Our wedding was PERFECT, and I know people don't say that a lot. Of course, there were hiccups but the things that were so perfect like everything at LM outweighed everything else. I wouldn't do anything differently in this part of the planning. Everyone in Chicago who vibes with the space should get married there. The pics are worth it enough if all the didn't make an impression. It really was a 10/10 and Paulette gave 100/10. It's also one of the last places where you feel good about what you're getting for what you're paying for... which we all learn is too rare in the wedding industry. Thank you, Paulette and LM Studio!

We were so lucky to be able to have our wedding reception at Fairlie back in September of 2019. We got engaged in April 2019 and decided we wanted to get married the same year. When we realized there was no way we were going to be find a venue that checked most of the items on our wishlist, we got discouraged. Then we heard about this new venue that technically wasn't open yet but would be ready by the summer. As soon as we walking into Fairlie we knew this had to be our venue. It was somehow exactly what were looking for! The venue completely changes as you live from day to night, super airy and bright during the day and dark and romantic in the evening. We consider ourselves so lucky to have been able to work with Nicole. She is very knowledgeable and great resource to bounce fun ideas off of. Nicole and Alexis really care about the venue and it shows. No little detail is forgotten. They have customizable lighting, a beautiful built in bar, rooms to get ready in. They even allowed our small dog to be there to take some pictures.

The Arbory

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $8,500

Located in a 100 year old manufacturing plant in West Town, our space is the perfect blend of vintage industrial and modern sophistication — outfitted with fully integrated digital capabilities. Taking inspiration from turn of the century New Orleans, our sophisticated warehouse event space is infused with custom millwork and murals by local artisans bringing a highly curated and refined space to Chicago. With six oversized industrial skylights, you can imagine your ceremony taking place under beautiful natural light. Two separate spaces that combine into one via custom doorways allows you to avoid a room turn! Our included amenities allow you to focus more on the details that make your wedding unique and less on bringing in every piece from scratch. Included are custom wood chairs & tables, two bars, lounge furniture, digital integration, and bistro lights. A private suite with en-suite for the couple is included.

We had the best experience at the Arbory for our January wedding. It was the 3rd space we looked at while planning, and it was clear immediately that it was perfect for us. 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.
