Gangnam wedding hall with Pax Tower parking and snow crab buffet: Arbe

I recently visited Arbe Wedding Hall, a wedding hall in Gangnam. Here's a full guest's-eye rundown of the location and parking, the atmosphere at Rapine Hall, and a buffet review!

Rapine Hall had a bright-hall feel, and you could really sense a romantic house wedding atmosphere at this Gangnam wedding hall. Since it's a single-hall structure, the ceremony flow wasn't complicated, and it seemed like a great fit for small weddings or couples wanting a more private ceremony.

Arbe Wedding Hall location and guest parking

Arbe Wedding Hall sits between Seonjeongneung Station and Eonju Station, about 5 minutes from Exit 4 of Seonjeongneung Station, so it's a fine spot to reach by public transit. If you're driving, the couple and their parents can park 3 vehicles inside the building.

Guests can use 3 outside parking lots: Gyeongbok Parking, KB Kookmin Bank Nonhyeon-dong, and Pax Tower parking. I parked at Pax Tower.

However, since all the guest parking lots are outside the wedding hall, I had to walk about 5 minutes.

Guest parking was free for 2 hours, and there was no separate parking ticket or stamp system — staff applied it directly when using the lot, which was more convenient than expected.

What's the atmosphere like at Rapine Hall?

Arbe Wedding Hall is a Gangnam wedding hall with a romantic house wedding concept. Rapine Hall had a strong bright-hall feel, overall warm and romantic.

It leaned toward a house wedding atmosphere where guests and the couple share a close distance. Since the hall is run as a single hall, it felt less cluttered and was a structure that helped you focus on the ceremony.

Rather than a lavish, grand large-scale venue, Rapine Hall seemed better suited to a warm small wedding with close friends and family.

The bridal waiting room was also fairly spacious, which fit well with the overall mood of the space.

It was a plus that the lobby, hall, banquet hall, and bridal waiting room are all on one floor, making movement easy.

That said, the lobby is on the 1st floor while the hall, banquet hall, and bridal waiting room are down a staircase, so first-time guests should keep an eye on the signage.

ATM, lobby, amenities

Right as you enter Arbe Wedding Hall, there's 1 ATM on the left.

The lobby also has a photo guestbook where guests can take photo-booth-style pictures.

With several photo zones around, it was nice not to get bored before or after the ceremony, and to enjoy the wedding mood even more.

Welcome tea was prepared for guests too, good for a short rest before the ceremony.

The parents' makeup room, storage room, and cashier's room were all well equipped, so the facilities felt organized for both the couple and their parents.

Arbe Wedding Hall banquet buffet review

Arbe Wedding Hall had a wide variety of banquet buffet menu items, which made for a satisfying experience as a guest.

The banquet hall is open from 30 minutes before the ceremony. Overall, the spread covered Korean, Japanese, Western, desserts, and alcohol — quite a wide range of choices even among Gangnam wedding hall buffets.

Salad zone

The salad zone had light options good for filling a plate before the main meal.

Japanese zone — conveyor sushi

Among the Japanese items, having conveyor-belt sushi stood out.

There was also mulhoe (cold raw fish soup), rolls, memil (buckwheat noodles), and other Japanese dishes.

Western zone — flat iron steak, lamb chops

The Western menu especially caught my eye for its meat dishes. Flat iron steak, lamb chops, and hamburg steak were all prepared, which felt like a bit of extra effort.

There was pizza, pasta, and other Western items too, and it looked good for both adults and kids.

Korean zone — yukhoe, jeon, fried dishes

Korean dishes were also on offer as a baseline, so guests from the parents' generation could comfortably eat too.

From yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) to jeon (pan-fried dishes) and fried items, the overall spread was solid for older guests.

Chinese zone

The Chinese zone had warm stir-fried and fried dishes ready, letting you build a varied plate. Chinese food at a wedding buffet tends to please everyone, so it seemed like a solid option for older guests too.

Other standout items — snow crab, seafood stew

What stuck with me most from the Arbe Wedding Hall buffet were rarer items like snow crab and seafood stew. Snow crab is the kind of dish guests want to grab at least once, and it clearly stood out in the spread — and tasted great too.

Drinks & alcohol

One thing that impressed me at Arbe Wedding Hall was the wide variety of alcoholic drinks.

Soju, draft beer, makgeolli, sake, and wine were all available, giving a wider range of alcohol options than a typical wedding hall buffet. This was definitely a plus.

Dessert — gelato and seasonal fruit

Desserts were well stocked too. I especially liked that gelato was available.

There was a good variety of desserts, from tteok (rice cakes) that older guests love to cakes and macarons, with plenty of choices.

There was good fruit too — seasonal watermelon, pineapple, and lychee.

With 3 kinds of tea and coffee also available, it was a nice setting to spend quality time catching up with family and friends after a while!
