Awarded Best of Zola
We had the best experience at The Lofton for our wedding! The team was amazing to work with—super organized, friendly, and always on top of things. They made everything so easy, and having their all-inclusive options was such a lifesaver. From catering to décor and planning, they handled it all, which meant less stress for us and more time to enjoy the process. One of our favorite parts was the on-site lodging. Having the venue all weekend was a game-changer! We didn’t feel rushed, had plenty of time for setup, and got to relax and spend more time with our friends and family. It made the whole experience feel so much more special and laid-back. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an awesome team and all the extras to make your life easier, The Lofton is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding!
