This incredibly unique venue is actually a renovated former bank, which is so popular now! I’ve heard couples say that there aren’t many amazing wedding spots in Rochester, but instead of heading to Buffalo, definitely check this one out.
This guide to Arbor Midtown, a luxury wedding venue in Rochester, NY, will help you get started.
Built in 1926 as the Lincoln-Alliance Bank, this space has been immaculately remodeled into a luxury events space, but it retains many of its original architectural features. Arbor Midtown is today an elegant wedding venue that is so stylish, evoking the glamor and fun of a bygone era. It’s ideal for couples who are seeking a unique and romantic Rochester venue.
With a grand staircase (ideal for photos!), floor-to-ceiling windows, art deco tiling, and marble columns, this space is so sophisticated and caters to both larger and intimate weddings really well. Arbor Midtown weddings can host up to 250 for a ceremony and 550 for a cocktail-style reception within the gorgeous ballroom — it feels like you’re stepping back in time!
You’ll also have use of The Parlor & The Suite, two smaller stylish rooms that are ideal for getting ready.
With lots of natural light, plus clean white lines, sparkling chandeliers, and vaulted ceilings, your wedding images at Arbor Midtown will be so classically beautiful, romantic, and true to color. And, if you’re hosting a black-tie wedding, the upscale atmosphere of this space is ideal for formal events.
Plus, the grand staircase, stone columns, and art deco furnishings in the getting-ready spaces add such a fun, heritage touch, so we’ll have plenty of options for creating amazing content – and I’ll be by your side to help the entire time!
