An absolute seamless dream

OUR FAVORITE DAY EVER. And it wouldn’t of been complete without the most STUNNING venue and AMAZING staff to help create a seamless wedding day. I can’t begin to thank Emily and everyone over at The Loft at Studio J for all their hard work they put in to creating the most memorable day for my husband and I. Our guests are still raving about our big day weeks later. From the gorgeous atmosphere to the photos guests could capture themselves at the photo booth that’s included. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. Trust me, book it.

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!

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.
