100/10 Recommend

Having my wedding at Waterview Loft was the best decision I could have made! Lizzie, the venues wedding coordinator, was phenomenal to work with throughout the months/year leading up to our wedding day and was always so quick to respond to any question we threw at her and was very accommodating to any requests. When you book Waterview Loft, they are partnered with a DJ, bakery, and floral and design company, so it takes off all the pressure of having to find any of those vendors as well. The only vendor we found ourselves was our photographer. You may pay a bit more for it, but the convenience and low pressure was totally worth it in my opinion. Their team sets up and takes down anything you bring for the day of, so at the end of the night you just have to put it in your car to take home. No need for you to have to show up early the day of to set anything up. The views at the venue were unmatched, and all of our guests were raving about their experience and how great the food and service was! Jed, the event manager, and Chloe, the day of coordinator (both provided by the venue), were phenomenal on the day of! Everything went perfectly, and Chloe always made sure we had a drink in our hand. I could not recommend Waterview Loft enough for your wedding!

Aside from the views and beautiful venue, the waterview loft provides exceptional service, yummy food and make the overall process of wedding planning a breeze. We are forever grateful we chose to have our special day here and would do it a thousand times over.
