About

Record Box Loft is a wedding venue located on the riverfront in downtown Battle Creek. Our original hardwood floors, exposed brick and open floorpan flooded with natural light gives our space an urban, industrial vibe that’s perfect for any party. After a complete restoration of this historic building, built in 1902, we rebranded as Record Box Loft to pay homage to its roots. Once known as the Record Printing and Box Company, cereal boxes were printed here for many years in the cereal capital of the world.

Record Box Loft accommodates small groups of 25 up to large gatherings of 225 guests. Many onsite amenities are provided including onsite preparation rooms, tables, industrial chairs, a second floor lounge, and an onsite catering kitchen and bar area for vendor's use.

Our team has deep experience in West Michigan’s wedding industry and we are proud to also include the the following services for our wedding clients: 1) Design: We will meet with you to develop a custom floor plan for your event and would also be happy to schedule a meeting to assist with linen and tablescape options, 2) Event Setup: Setup tables and chairs and assist with placing and hanging your personal decor, 3) Tear it Down: When your party is over, our staff will assist with taking down and packaging all decor, 4) Month and Day of Coordination: We’ll help plan your full timeline and coordinate the details with your vendors the week of your event. Our team will manage your event including ceremony, entrance, toasts and sendoff and will work closely with your vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly.

We are located in southwest Michigan, approximately halfway between Chicago and Detroit and conveniently close to our surrounding communities including Kalamazoo, Jackson, Lansing and Grand Rapids.

The absolute best.

My husband and I recently got married at Record Box Loft. This venue was our absolute dream— exposed brick walls, big windows surrounding the entire venue, simple and modern decor, high ceilings, industrial and updated accents, beautiful light fixtures, the list goes on and on! The space is just incredibly stunning and functional.

The RBL staff (especially Hannah and Abbey) are phenomenal. Communication leading up to our big day was fast and so easy. They were on top of every little detail and went above and beyond to make sure they tailored to our specific vision. On our wedding day, the staff served as day-of-coordinators and really made our whole day run sooooo smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of staff to work with— they were FUN, professional, quick, and so prepared.

Having our wedding here was the best decision we made.

Amazing!

When we got engaged, The Record Box was the first vendor we booked. Caitlynn and Cody, the venue owners were right there with us through our entire planning process and quick to answer questions. Some of our favorite things about this place:

-beautiful atmosphere, barely need decor!
-chairs and tables included
-can have entire event in one place if you want!
-don’t need to bring in lighting, the hanging lights and natural light make an ambient space
-multiple floors for people to spread out, couches for lounging
-photo booth and soda fountain already in house!
-super cute getting ready rooms for bridal parties
-handicap accessible
-food trucks allowed!! Our guests LOVED a food truck!
-pet friendly
-ample parking
-weather friendly with indoor or outdoor wedding option

We will whole heartedly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a beautiful event in west Michigan!

Best Day Ever!

If we could give them 6 stars, we would. The Record Box Loft is a gorgeous venue and was perfect for our January wedding. The venue is spacious and the team of people behind the venue were helpful, incredibly kind, and genuine. They allowed for tons of flexibility and helped in the planning as well as the day-of the wedding. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day ever. We would recommend the Record Box Loft to anyone and everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
