At your own risk

Visually, this venue has everything I envisioned for our wedding - the charming loft. The food was great and bar service as well. However, brides, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you have your own wedding planner if you use this venue. The staff we met at the beginning of our planning journey was great (welcoming and friendly), but unfortunately there seemed to be a lot of employee changes and the charm began to fade.

Our dedicated point person took weeks to respond to emails and often the questions within the emails were not addressed. My personal coordinator had a list of final questions for our FINAL venue walk through and maybe 25% of our questions were answered, the rest being “I’ll have to ask.” Not to mention she seemed completely uninterested in our event.

We were charged an extra $500 for having a sign featuring our favorite cocktails, all of the alcohol we chose was within the bar package I choose, but because we made a sign, they gave us the run around and I had to have another in person meeting (post final walk through) to discuss further and withhold final payment until we were comfortable with all decisions and all decisions in writing.

Best part after all the issues they gave us - they spelled my husbands last name wrong with absolutely no apology and a feeble attempt at making it better (see attached image). The event coordinating staff at this establishment is terrible, disingenuous, inexperienced, slow to respond and quite frankly, unprofessional. Please do your research on this venue before choosing this for any event.

Bar staff, waitstaff and venue style, wonderful. It’s upsetting to see such a great venue being run so poorly. Again, make sure your have your own PRIVATE event coordinator when choosing this venue, or have a personality where you’re ready to negotiate and argue about literally everything, down to ice cubes.

Cheers!

Gorgeous Venue with Amazing Execution

I was very happy to have chosen Loft 28 West as my wedding venue. The exposed brick, wooden floors, and steel beams, make a gorgeous backdrop to all photos. Reception and ceremony were held upstairs, with my cocktail reception being just downstairs preventing any travel. Even though these were in the same building, all had a different feel with upstairs having transforming drapery and downstairs being set with an Irish Pub ambiance. The staff was outstanding and the bartenders were full of character and fun. A big round of applause to the kitchen as this is the first time I have had delicious wedding food! Gabrielle was my wedding coordinator and I cannot imagine my wedding without her. She was very responsive during the planning process and day-of was there from start to finish, adding personalized touches put in place just for me and the groom. Went through a few bumps with pricing and changes, but I understood this was mostly due to changing of hands and fair compromised were put in place. However, execution day of was just about flawless and the photos show as such. We had such a fun and happy day, I would absolutely recommend Loft 28 West to friends/family.

Love this place!

We had my daughter's baby shower here because we feel in love with the atmosphere and the beautiful furnishings! Not only is the venue stunning, the event coordinator, Suzanne, is very helpful in making the day go smoothly before the event and the day of the event. The attention to detail, professionalism and service was top notch. It was just as important to Suzanne that the event go perfectly and it showed as she tackled a couple minor changes on the fly. We received many compliments on the food too! Highly recommend this place! You will have a great experience!
