“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Park Loft. I am still in shock that I was lucky enough to have my wedding there 3 weeks ago. First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous. Every single detail of this venue is meticulously designed to be beautiful. We loved the eye-catching two-floor reception space, the peaceful outdoor gardens, the clean and elegant ceremony space, etc. It is the perfect venue if you are looking for rustic, but want something more modern than a barn setting. It was the perfect combination of rustic, historic, elegant, modern, and traditional. Is this possible? With Park Loft, YES. Next, the organization, communication, and preparation from the staff was next-level. Allie and her team were there to answer every email and question I had. They were professional and responsive. They made sure I had all the paperwork I needed in advance, emailed us friendly reminders, and walked us through everything we needed to do so that we didn't get overwhelmed. After our final details meeting, we felt like we were in such good hands. These people leave NOTHING to chance, yet adapt to whatever you need. Therefore, they are the perfect venue if you are a Type A person OR a Type B person. One of my vendors said he has never worked with such an organized venue before. Next up, the service on the night of our wedding was absolutely wonderful. So many guests came up and told us that they have never received such attention at a wedding before! Park Loft prides itself on table side service and it elevated our wedding to the next level. The waiters, bartenders, security personnel, attendants, etc. all were so professional and seemed to genuinely love working there! As for me and my bridal party, our Maitre D Lindsay G., my main attendant Emily, and all the others took care of EVERYTHING. Once I walked through those doors, I did not have to worry about a thing. I felt like a princess being doted on. Need a chair? They will pull one up. Need band aids for the blisters from your heels? They will find them. Need earplugs at the end of the night? There they are! Need a rag to wipe your sweat because it's 90 degrees? Right away, sir! Need help bustling your dress? Four girls shuffle you off to help on a moment's notice. (These are all true needs we had) I am overcome with gratitude with how well my guests, my husband, and I were taken care of. Finally, the food! Our number one goal for our wedding was to have good food for our guests, and Park Loft did not disappoint. We had 3 stations - Asian, Italian, and Greek. Delish and so much better than your average cheese-and-crackers table. Every one of the 10 passed hors d'oeuvres was better than the last. Plus, again, each one was unique, like lobster quesadillas, the mini Cuban sandwiches, or chicken and waffles. One guest commented, "I have never been to a wedding where the passed hors d'oeuvres were such big portions!" Every single one of the 4 entrees were fantastic, and we know because we arrived at our sweetheart table to find portions of them ALL. The chef came around afterwards and asked all the tables how they liked their food, which was just another thing that makes Park Loft a step above the rest. They say you get what you pay for, and I have found this to be true for Park Loft. You will not regret a single penny, trust me. You will make one of the best decisions by choosing Park Loft. I wish we could get married all over again to experience this wonderful venue!”
