Posting a review now as we're just about a month and a half away from our wedding, and I will most definitely be writing another one after our event.
However, this is about the planning process and how absolutely AMAZING Ebben has been throughout this. We booked our September 2024 wedding back in December of 2022 due to wanting to lock our date in. Since then, I've been able to email him the random questions I've had as a stressed bride, and he responds timely, and is working with us wonderfully! I had asked about an easel for my welcome sign, they are providing one.
Over half of our guests do not drink, so he is letting us do a drink tab up to a certain amount comfortable with us, then moving it to a cash bar, while non alcoholic drinks are available all evening as an "open bar" with a very very affordable price.
He has also given us very open range with our dinner options, where we've been able to have our guests choose between two chicken options and two pasta options. Other venues we looked at were very limited in their menu options, and only allowed us to choose between two. Their diverse menu in addition to very affordable prices is something we greatly appreciate!
Overall, Ebben has helped make the planning process easy, has been super quick to respond to emails, and has definitely helped to put my mind at ease with the stressors that come with planning a wedding!
I cannot wait for our big day and will either update or create a new review!
Cannot say ENOUGH about Ebben and the staff at Arlington’s!! I threw a baby shower there. Their communication was always quick and extremely efficient and everyone was so polite and help. I would definitely book with them again in the future!
Ebben has been awesome through this entire booking process for me and my husband 10 year vow renewal (May 2025) can't wait for our special day!! Will update once we have our day complete ❤️
Beautiful venue, quite cozy, friendly staff. Had a wonderful time
We used Arlington's for our wedding venue and we could not recommend them enough! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was on time and so delicious! All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue is. If you're looking for a venue that is easy to work with, affordable, and accommodating, Arlington's is the place. Ebben was wonderful through the whole planning process!
We were married recently at this venue. Ebben did a FANTASTIC job at making our day perfect! He really took out the guess work and made sure everything that I felt like was important to me was important to him. Arlington's catered food was phenomenal and he made sure every detail was attended to. Even when I did not opt for his chosen DJs, he went out of his way to teach our chosen person to work his sound system and there was absolutely no sign of judgement. I could not possibly stress how perfect our most special day was because Ebben made sure it was so! And our bartenders were absolutely phenomenal!Thank you Ebben and your staff for an amazing evening!
Atmosphere & food
Attended a comedy show upstairs. It is a beautiful venue. Perfect for a small wedding or gathering. Bartenders were great and friendly!
They painted all of the original and hand done trim white. They say it is historic, but painting fine hardwood trim is just disrespectful. Hardwood, was gorgeously done, now just covered in white paint. I know the woodworker that hand built that bar; when we went to eat there he was really disappointed that they had just painted over his work. Food okay, not great. Nothing to write home about.
10/10 would recommend Arlington’s for any and all gathering simply due to the customer service. I had originally decided to use this venue for my engagement party, started working with Ebben, the owner, and he was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. I had to cancel the party due to a family member passing away and Arlington’s issued a full refund on the deposit. In my experience, I have seldom found a business willing to sacrifice profits for the good of their customers. Could not recommend more.

*Update to reply to owner: Thank you so much for the information! I wasn't told about parking options ahead of time, unfortunately. I checked your website but couldn't seem to find the info there (I was in a rush that day so I definitely could have missed it, though.) Really good to know for the future, and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!*Parking was not the most convenient, but that's not really something the venue has any control over so I wasn't going to take any stars away for it. Inside of the building was charming and airy (the event I was attending was located upstairs), and the food was absolutely delicious.

Ebben and his staff are amazing. I had my wedding reception here in 2017 and then hosted my sisters baby shower here today. Each time Ebben went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the food to treating us like family, I couldn’t have picked a better venue to host our important events. I look forward to having an excuse to have a event here again ?
I attended my niece’s wedding reception June 30th at Arlington. Besides being a great venue I cannot say enough about your staff! I am handicapped and walk with a cane. Every single person I encountered of your staff went out of the way to help me and make sure I was safe! I even got to ride on the “old time” elevator! KUDOS to Arlington’s on having such a great staff! I highly recommend them anytime!
Beautiful venue, amazing food and staff!
