Arbor Midtown

LUXURY WEDDING VENUE in the heart of Rochester, New York

The building was originally constructed in 1926, boasting natural stone travertine flooring, marble-clad columns, hand sculpted wall friezes and floor to ceiling windows. Through the restoration process, we made efforts to restore all of the original 1920’s elements while modernizing and brightening the aesthetic. When you arrive at the top of the grand staircase, this historic bank turned luxury event space has crystal chandeliers, art-deco tiling, and brass details throughout.

 

Accommodations

Arbor Midtown has a large open reception area that can accommodate 250 guests with an onsite ceremony & 550 guests for a cocktail style reception.  With our custom made rolling planters, we can separate our space to create a natural flow during events with a large guest count, as well as section the space for a more intimate feel for smaller gatherings.


 

The Parlor & The Suite

Your wedding party can enjoy all those special moments getting ready together all in the same location.

These are included complimentary with your venue rental.
