Amazing!!!

The Loft 214 provided everything we needed for our special day!! It truly was a one stop shop. The eclectic, modern, rustic, romantic vibe of the Loft required minimal additions to make it feel incredibly personal. The staff was amazing and made getting ready for the day and the day of, a total breeze. It was everything we dreamed of when searching for a place to hold our ceremony and reception!

Loft 214 in Stillwater for the Wedding Win!

Thank you to Emily and the entire team at Loft 214 (f.k.a. The Loft at Studio J) for making our wedding celebration absolutely amazing!

The venue itself is a reflection of the city of Stillwater; a perfect blending of historic past, embodying an old-world charm, combined with all of the amenities that support the wants and needs of today’s weddings. Set in the middle of Stillwater’s breathtaking downtown, Loft 214 served to support all of our family and friends to join us for the ceremony and celebration, surrounding us with stunning views and the perfect balance of elegance and rustic charm.

The team at Loft 214 were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that things went according to our plan, including meeting with us weeks ahead of our big day to ensure that all details were explored and addressed - which helped to make the planning less stressful. The venue’s kitchen supported our caterer, Bella Vida’s needs, and the fully-stocked bar supported our, and all of our guest’s wants. All-in-all they helped to provide an atmosphere that was simply perfect, and reflective of our special day.

Loft 214 was the perfect place for our marriage ceremony and celebration with our families and friends - we highly recommend Loft 214 to anyone looking for a great wedding experience!

Beautiful Wedding Venue in Stillwater

After a ton of research of trying to find the perfect wedding venue, I fell in LOVE with The Loft at Studio J with pictures alone. Then after our walk through with the staff at The Loft, it was an easy decision to pick The Loft.

My husband and I decided to go with the VIP Experience at The Loft, which provided budgets for certain wedding venue needs and the staff really made us feel like a VIP (leading up to the wedding and the day of our wedding).

Emily at The Loft made our day of so special and exciting that I was able to not ever worry about anything going on in the background. She was always on top of everything and made sure we stuck to our timeline as the day went on.

I cannot express how beautiful the building and location enough! Walking distance to the river for great pictures, hardwood floors, brick walls, with a beautiful bar area. The best perk was they have a photo booth for you to use during your wedding and my guests really enjoyed that feature.

We highly recommend The Loft at Studio J to host your wedding!

The Best Venue!

We are SO glad we chose the Loft at Studio J for our wedding reception venue! The space itself is timeless - rustic, classic, intimate, and just drop dead gorgeous. It’s perfectly conducive to a buzzing dance floor while still reserving space and opportunity for intimate conversations throughout the night. The bar location flows perfect with the rest of the evening activities, and the built in Photo Booth provides a special way for guests to capture magic moments. Oh, and did I mention it’s located in the heart of Minnesota’s most gorgeous Main Street? Truly idyllic.

But without question the best part of choosing The Loft is getting to work with Emily! We added on to our package to have her services as our day-of coordinator and it may have been the best choice we made through our entire wedding planning. She was organized, professional, and so kind. By the time we reached our reception, we wanted her as a guest! 11/10, would recommend!

Worth your time!!

Believe me when I say- BOOK THIS VENUE. Not only is the actual building stunning, but the location is perfect, and the staff is phenomenal. The Loft truly made our wedding day what it was. We received so many comments on how beautiful of a venue it was, and so many of our guests were ecstatic about the location. Being right in downtown Stillwater gave us and our guests access to so many different things (as well as provided the perfect location for beautiful pictures). Working with Emily was easy and stress-free; she was very prompt with communication and flexible with our requests. Such a kind person! Our bartender was also wonderful- quick, polite, and patient. The Loft is fairly priced, beautiful, and overall just worth your time; they go above and beyond to make sure your day is special. You will not regret checking them out!

Lovely venue, lots of character, perfect for our intimate wedding reception

Gorgeous venue!! Can't say enough good things about the Loft, we fell in love with it instantly and it was the perfect place for our wedding reception. Charming, intimate, lots of character, definitely the industrial chic vibe we were looking for. The hanging lights and brick backdrop are just gorgeous. We had a relatively small headcount, 81 guests, and the space felt just right, neither cramped nor empty.

Emily was our wedding planner, and she was fantastic to work with! She responded quickly, kept us on task, found us great vendors, and was our day-of coordinator, well worth the extra fee! Super nice and super professional, she knows her stuff.

Tip to future brides: don't forget to let your guests know about the photobooth!! It's tucked away towards the back of the common area and we forgot to announce it. A few guests trickled their way back and found the booth on their own, but I think a lot more of them would have taken photos if they'd known!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As wedding planners/coordinators, we love working at The Studio at Loft J. This is a beautiful venue located in the heart of downtown Stillwater. We recently coordinated a wedding there and enjoyed working with the onsite staff. They were very helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to working at The Loft at Studio J and their sister company, JX Venue, more in 2018 and beyond.
