You won’t regret it

Love love love the Lofts! It is a beautiful space. Ayesha was amazing helping us prepare for our wedding. The aesthetic is exactly what I wanted and I’m thrilled I was able to have both my wedding and reception here. The prep rooms for the guys and ladies were particularly great to have. Outside around the building is fantastic for photos. Highly recommend this location.

Amazing Venue

I fell in love with this venue the first time so saw it. There’s not much extra decorating you need to do to this place because it’s already gorgeous by itself. Billie, the venue coordinator, was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! Please put this venue on your list to go see - the pictures don’t do it justice!! Couldn’t have imagined having my wedding anywhere else!!

A Local Gem

We got married here this summer and it was a lovely venue. It is truly hard to find a venue of this size in the Triad area and the quality of the this venue stands out. The price is fair given that they have many rentals in house to use. The bartenders that were there were very kind as well. Billie also was very pleasant to work with. The renovations to the space are beautiful.

Great venue!

The Loft at Congdon Yards was the perfect wedding venue to host both ceremony and reception! Using the whole floor gave our guests plenty of space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was so nice having everything in one space, but still having defined rooms for each part of the night. There space was beautiful and meaningful to me, having grown up in High Point. Working with Billie made the experience seamless. I would highly recommend this space for weddings!

Words can't express...but I'll try!!

My wife and I were married at Congdon Yards. First let me say, Ayesha is the secret to the success of Congdon Yards!! She is professional, personable, knowledgeable and so easy to work with!! She is a treasure! The venue could not be more beautiful and easy to navigate. It is spacious yet intimate and vast while maintaining a quaintness. All appropriate accommodations from seating to lighting to power outlets and borders defining spaces are accessible and plentiful! Do yourself a favor and check out Congdon Yards and their accommodations! You won't regret it!!

Oh, I forgot to mention the competitive pricing! So much quality for a reasonable rate!! :)

Happy Newlyweds!!

My daughters dream come true....

I thought this would be an easy review but I am struggling. It is hard to put into words how a total wedding experience could be this perfect. The venue alone is phenomenal. The historical esthetic beauty combined with the versatile and spacious rooms provide unlimited creative possibilities for any event, especially a wedding. With this venue, we were able to have our daughter’s wedding ceremony for 250+ guests with much space left over as well as having the reception area set and ready to go as soon as the ceremony was complete. A service elevator, kitchen prep space, luxurious bride and groom lounges, and a special guest lounge made this experience a dream for everyone who is involved in making an event happen. Located in the heart of downtown High Point, The Loft is easily accessible and parking to suit the largest of events.

As magical as this venue is, the true icing on the cake, is the lady in charge…Ayesha Oglesby. Her official title is Event Sales Manager. However, this lady is a God-send to the whole event process. Her welcoming personality and her professional expertise creates the atmosphere of family. She is a problem solver with a wealth of solutions and a breath of fresh air during what can be the most hectic of events, as is the nature of wedding planning. Simply convey to her your vision and she will make it happen. Not only can she make it happen, she will digitally show you the finished product before it happens. Her compassion and honesty matched with ability to noninvasively tweek many good ideas into great outcomes make Ayesha and her staff, second to none.

You will be uncertain and even question many decisions you make during the wedding planning process. Choosing Ayesha and the Loft at the Factory will not be one of them.

The Best Wedding Venue In The Triad: 11/2/19!!!

We were the first couple to have our wedding in this beautiful venue on November 2, 2019!!! From the outside to the inside we were lost for words.

Although we were going through many of the construction, Ayesha ensured us that the venue would be perfect for our day and she didn't let us down! It was everything and more! We were able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in different rooms which allowed all of our vendors to move freely for setup and breakdown. Our guests entered each different room amazed at the transition. We also have amazing suites for both the bride and groom. My bridal suite showcased vanity mirrors (every girl's dream) along the open brick wall with amazing furniture and of course a refrigerator :). We were right next to the bathroom which will make you just want to have a mini photo shoot in that space as well as the men's bathroom. The groom's suite was stunning with a fridge, TV, beautiful furniture that gives you a complete classic gentlemen look.

I truly loved that this venue allows each couple to put their own spin to it because of it's beautiful industrial look. Three words that described my wedding was simple, classy and elegant and this venue not only did all three but enhanced it like no other.

I'm so grateful Ayesha!!! Thank you for making our day one we will never forget!
With love,
Jenell & Joshua

Loved this venue and Ayesha

What an amazing venue this was! Not only was the venue beautiful, but Ayesha was wonderful to work with! She was personable and caring and we felt we had known her for years by the wedding day. She responded quickly to our emails or messages and was always willing to help out in any way possible. She has great ideas and insight with this venue and worked diligently with us to get our ideas worked out as well as giving us great advice when we needed it. She is a very hard worker and is committed to her job in making the families feel supported and important. Would work with Ayesha again anytime in the future. You will not regret having any function held here in the Loft at Plant Seven. All employees here were great to work with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
