What Couples are Saying:
“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.” – Melissa S
“This venue was everything and more for the feel I wanted to have! Our wedding coordinator, her name is Gabrielle, was by my side when I asked any questions. The venue provided us with their own menu so we didn’t have to hire anyone to cater for us. That was a nice bonus if you ask me.” – Hannah Q
“I booked this venue a year and a half in advance and went through the multiple different points of contact at the beginning. I rolled with the punches as I am not one to complain on small things but it was annoying. Gabrielle was assigned as my final point of contact. I was skeptical after hearing different things from the other points of contact and after signing the contract and providing my deposit, however Gabrielle understood how frustrating it was for me. She went out of her way to ensure all communication was handled appropriately and efficiently. If I had a random question throughout the week, I could just shoot her an email, text or call and she would respond quickly. Our wedding was a relatively large wedding where we used the entire ceremony space for the ceremony and the entire Packard Room for cocktail hour/reception. They told me to prepare for a 2 hour long cocktail hour in order to flip the room – I was not so happy about this but I totally understood since we were a large wedding and we were utilizing the whole space (which they normally do not do). With this being said, they flipped the room so quickly on my wedding it was close to a normal 1 hour cocktail hour…I was so relieved and impressed. The whole day was beautiful and I really owe that to Gabrielle. I did not have a wedding planner so Gabrielle was my “go to” for my big day. She was polite, respectful, and I could always tell she wanted me to have the best day ever (in which I did!). She truly cared how the night played out. Could not speak more highly of Gabrielle!” -Amy W
