Loft on Lake is amazing!
I cannot recommend Loft on Lake highly enough. The space is just beautiful! We knew we wanted to have our wedding there as soon as we walked into the event space. The decorations are simple and lovely and recreate a wonderful warm and inviting environment. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the space was. We didn't use any additional decorations as the exposed brick and curtained walls provided all the ambiance needed. Jill was also so wonderful to work with. She was responsive to all forms of communication and quick to answer any questions. Other vendors also commented on how much they enjoy working with her. Such a great experience and also at a great price! Thanks for everything!
SPECTACULAR All-In-One Venue + GREAT Team!!!
We were the videographers for Bridget and Kevin's wedding last September. From the start, we were very impressed! We met with Bridget and Kevin's entire team of vendors in-person, including Jill w/ Loft on Lake, as well as their photography and DJ team - something that isn't always done, believe it or not! We were given a clear rundown of the day and shown around their amazing venue weeks in advance so we knew exactly what to expect on the wedding day. Jill also went out of her way to ensure we (the vendors) were fed, which is something that SO MANY event managers/coordinators fail to do! We highly recommend hosting your wedding at Loft on Lake and we look forward to working there again soon!!
Beautiful Loft Venue with Amazing Skylight!
Loft on Lake is such a unique space with natural beauty that stands alone with the brick interiors with architectural uplighting to a beautiful skylight that lends itself as a natural aisle for ceremonies creating an ethereal feel. They also added on lighting from chandeliers to ceiling globe lights. The team on site with Jill and Cher are amazing, they're attentive to every detail from beginning to end! Also check out Lofty Wedding Photography, their in-house photographer. So if you are looking for the perfect venue to have your Dream Wedding....look no further!
Stunning Venue!!!!!
As a vendor in the events industry, we’ve been fortunate enough to have Loft on Lake as a partner. Not only does their intimate venue speak for itself, their management (Jill and Char) staff are one of the best people to work with in the industry. We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership with Loft on Lake in 2021.
