Had my daughter's bridal shower here! Perfect! Unique. Great for a 150 or smaller event. Highly recommend it for any age. Especially if you like history and class.

My husband and I got married at Arlington’s on 12/28/19. Ebben was incredibly helpful with the planning and execution of our special day. Every time we met with him, he was on time and prepared to answer all of our questions. He was extremely responsive via email as well.

For the night of our wedding, Ebben and his staff were kind, attentive, and efficient. The pasta bar that we had was wonderful and our guests had a lot of nice things to say about the tasty meal.

I would highly recommend Arlington’s for any and all of your party needs. The service cannot be beaten.

Ebben and his team truly outdid themselves while hosting our wedding in their upstairs venue. On top of being such a gorgeous building, every single person made sure we were taken care of.

We had the best time and our guests loved the food. The bartenders were phenomenal, and Dustin was so helpful to every single one of our guests.

They could not have been nicer or more fun to work with. Thank you for holding our special day and for being the absolute perfect venue!
