Gangnam wedding hall guest parking and lobby photo booth: Arbe

I went to a wedding recently at Arbe Wedding Hall (아르베웨딩, formerly Bella Vita), which just opened near Seonjeongneung Station in Gangnam. I've always had a soft spot for house wedding and small wedding vibes, so I wanted to write down what I actually saw and felt as a guest, honestly.

How to walk to Arbe Wedding Hall from Seonjeongneung Station

Arbe Wedding Hall is a 5-minute walk from Seonjeongneung Station, where Line 9 and the Suin-Bundang Line meet, so it was really convenient to reach by subway. Coming out of the station you basically just walk straight and it's right there — no chance of getting lost.

Where do guests park at Arbe Wedding Hall?

For guest parking, you can park inside the building or use a nearby outside lot or designated separate parking space!

First-floor lobby and welcome bar at Arbe Wedding Hall

There was a welcome bar too, and walking into the building's first floor, an open lobby and a gift-money table greeted us.

True to a place that recently went through a full remodel and just reopened, the lobby felt very fresh and clean from the moment you walk in.

Live performance and photo booth before the ceremony

There was a live performance before the ceremony started, and it was genuinely fun to watch — no chance to get bored.

What stood out especially was that there was a photo booth set up in one corner of the lobby. It was a fresh touch — guests could take a commemorative photo and leave a card on the spot after giving their gift money.

Basement ceremony hall and bride's waiting room

Arbe Wedding Hall's ceremony hall is on the basement level, and the fresh flower scent that spread as we went down the stairs was really pleasant.

It felt like a completely different world from a dim hotel-style ceremony hall — pure bright, cheerful house wedding energy. Against the white-toned backdrop, the abundant fresh flower decorations were lush without being overdone, and had a real touch of luxury. I thought this place was a real photo spot where every shot comes out bright and pretty.

The ceiling isn't especially high, but there wasn't a single pillar blocking the view inside the hall, so from any guest seat you could see the bride and groom clearly.

The bride's waiting room was spacious too — several guests could go in at once for photos without feeling cramped or crowded at all, and the area behind the bride's sofa and the surrounding interior were decorated with bright flowers, a setup that made the bride stand out even more.

There were plenty of photo zones scattered around too.

You can also check out the couple's wedding photos at the entrance.

What is the Arbe Wedding Hall buffet like for guests?

As a wedding guest, what stays with me most is always the food, and to cut to the conclusion: Arbe Wedding Hall's biggest strength was hands down the buffet.

The reception hall is on the same basement level as the ceremony hall, so the flow wasn't complicated at all, and the space was spacious enough that even with a lot of guests, it never felt too crowded.

There was a wide range of high-quality dishes you rarely see at a typical wedding hall buffet — fresh made-to-order raw fish, steamed dishes, seasonal seafood, and more. Every single dish felt carefully made, clean and tasty, not thrown together, and my friends and I kept going back for more saying "the food here is actually really good." It was a spread that people of any age would be happy with.

Drawbacks and overall verdict on Arbe Wedding Hall

Overall, I felt Arbe Wedding Hall exactly nails what a bride dreaming of a private, pretty house wedding in a light, not-too-heavy atmosphere would want. If I had to point out one downside as a guest, it would be that parking requires an outside lot, but that's more than made up for by how close it is to the subway station, the bright and pretty hall interior, and the excellent buffet food that clearly pleased the guests.

If you're looking for a wedding venue in the Gangnam area that combines value for money with house wedding charm, I'd say this is one I can recommend from a guest's point of view too.
