This magical venue is a DREAM to work with! The staff was so helpful to my couple who got married here in August, and was easy to work along side throughout the day!
The space and area around it is amazing for photos, and is great for that cozy whimsical wedding of your dreams!

I have had the pleasure of working with Stuart & his team at The Loft several times over the past 5 years, and it is always an amazing experience. Stuart has an incredible eye for detail & design, and his team is able to execute beautiful set ups in an efficient manner. As a wedding planner, I typically dread doing a room flip from ceremony to reception, but The Loft has it down to a science. They are well-staffed & efficient, so the room flip is always seamless. The space is stunning, the layout is perfect, and the staff is a well-oiled machine. I absolutely love when my clients book The Loft & Stuart's team because I know that they will have a GORGEOUS and stress-free day.

When we toured The Loft DSM, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We booked it almost 2.5 years early and throughout the entire process Stuart, Derek, and Wendy were phenomenal. Stuart was able to meet with me several times about my vision and execute it flawlessly. From the florals to the drapery to the lighting to the glassware, Stuart and The Loft DSM made our wedding day spectacular. During wedding week and on the day of, Wendy and Derek were the most amazing duo and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Wendy calmed my nerves, handled the little fires that popped up, managed familial issues, reminded me to eat and drink water, and made me feel like I could truly relax, which is a hard thing for me to do. If you are wanting a team that can exceed your expectations and create your dream wedding or event, The Loft DSM is the place for you.

This event venue is amazing. It's important to note that I was just a helper of the bride and her family... so I don't know what the costs were or how good the communication and service was. But in terms of the space itself, it's absolutely gorgeous. It's got a rustic, old building feel with newly updated amenities. The exposed brick, beautiful windows, ceiling decor, and lighting combined to create a magical storage for a wedding and reception.

Stuart, Derek, and Wendy at The Loft were absolutely amazing to work with. They went above and beyond my expectations! Stuart is very realistic with what will look good and how the flowers and colors will all go together and how the day will flow. Derek and Wendy made sure my day was perfect. I had no stress and didn’t have to worry about a single thing all day. They put out all the decor and put it all away and made sure everything was where it needed to be. They all made our day fun! This venue and people are worth the money for the piece of mind they provide on your wedding day! I wish I could have another wedding just so I could work with them again!

Stuart and his team went above and beyond to make my wife and I’s wedding day perfect. Stuart was attentive and was great to work with during the planning process. Derek, the wedding coordinator, had great communication and kept our day running smoothly. We would recommend The Loft to anyone and everyone. An absolutely beautiful venue!

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Loft, Stuart, & his team. We held both our ceremony & reception at The Loft on 5/27/2022 and it was nothing short of a fairytale. From the get-go, Stuart was a dream to work with. He is incredibly knowledgable of his craft and equally talented in his execution. Putting our trust in Stuart's hands was the best decision we made for our wedding. From our guests, we received countless compliments on how truly beautiful the building is. With The Loft offering not only a bridal suite to get ready in, but also offering a groomsmen suite to get ready in as well made it an easy choice in deciding our final venue. We are so thankful that The Loft & Stuart were a part of our big day. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

I am just so happy with my experience at The Loft DSM.

Stuart made my vision come to life and paid attention to the little things I mentioned I loved. The flowers, the ceremony and reception was decorated so perfectly. Even walking up the stairs to the venue was beautiful. I still cannot get over how beautiful my flowers were!

Getting a day of coordinator is must. Wendy & Derek were the absolute BEST. They were easy to get a hold of, flexible, and made sure everything went according to plan - and if it didn’t, would easily shift. I am so thankful that I had them on my wedding day!

Thank you the Loft DSM for everything!
