Loft 310 - Private Event Venues in Downtown Kalamazoo

was blown away! The folks at Loft 310 really have an eye for detail and know how to do lighting, space... aesthetics were incredible all the way! We received so many compliments on the beauty of the venue. With a white canvas, even in the Upper Loft, your day can be anything you want it to be... and it will never go out of style. The best part about Loft 310 is that you get the best of *all* worlds, in one. The food was amazing - we did a salmon and a steak dish - and the presentation for dessert was laid out beautifully. The DJs provided were so friendly; they gave us a call to go over our preferred music, our Do Not Play list, and shared their experience with us since we did not get a chance to meet them prior to the big day. They coordinated everything from the grand entrance, to the first dance, and beyond. The pieces all came together so smoothly. They also had a designated person (Megan - what a doll) who came around and made sure that I always had a full drink in my hand - as the bride, it's not easy to make a break for the bar!! Most of all, highest kudos to Shannon. She is SO responsive, creative, and made everyone feel welcome during the rehearsal and on the big day. Honestly, this was worth every bit of time and energy spent. We wouldn't change a single thing about our day. Can we do it again?

y for us. Even on the wedding day, it was perfect. The bartender (I feel terrible we forgot her name, but that's because we were pretty drunk thanks to her LOL), she was AMAZING. Every time we turned around there was a drink in our hand. Someone even bumped me on the dance floor and I dropped my glass. When I went to get another drink, she had it already ready in a plastic cup. I was blown away, honestly. We had our ceremony on the SkyDeck and our reception in the Upper Loft. The beauty of both spaces is so simple yet so elegant and clean. During our ceremony, right as we were saying "I do," it started to sprinkle and honestly, I knew it was meant to be. like how perfect is that?! I was one of those brides that was VERY particular about the music being played and DJ's Jon & Noah did NOT disappoint. We got so many compliments on the DJ's, they were so much fun and kept helping the groomsmen find creative ways to ice my husband. They made it so much more fun. The food was AMAZING, the desserts to die for. I can't thank everyone enough for all their hard work that day. We wish we could re-live that day over and over because it was INCREDIBLE. Thank you a million times, honestly. Seriously such a dream come true. <3

rst tour to our final meeting everyone was great with communication and answering questions. The guests could not stop raving about the food and the desserts. The location is perfect to have both parts of the wedding in one location. Also there are many great photo opportunities within walking distance. Our guests also received wrist bands at the end of the night so we could enjoy all the entertainment district has to offer. We would recommend this place to anyone.

ortable on our wedding day knowing the staff was there to make the day go smoothly. Shannon & the Loft 310 team couldn't have been more detailed & prepared. They made our planning process happy and exciting. We had the best day ever thanks to all the staff!

with planning and her help with organizing the big day! Highly recommend!!

in love with this venue because of its natural beauty, friendliness of the staff, and options to bundle several services all from one place. We were so impressed with the event staff and how smoothly the entire wedding went. The bartending services, the quality of food, and the DJ (DJ Joey B) were complimented by all of our guests. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful venue in Michigan.

y that. I could probably right a novel about how many amazing experiences we had with Loft 310, but I will try to keep this as short and sweet as possible, reviewing what I would consider "hot topics" when wedding planning. The Food: It was absolutely fantastic. The salmon and white cheddar mashed potatoes were a serious wedding highlight. So many guests raved about not only dinner, but also the appetizers as well. We still have people mentioning that salmon to us...let's just say it's highly recommended :) The Space: Loft 310 is absolutely beautiful. Modern, elegant, and truly a clean slate. We could make the space whatever we wanted it to be and the team at Loft 310 were willing to work with us to make our wedding dreams come true. We rented Loft 310 for our ceremony and the Upper Loft for our reception. Both spaces were fantastic and the transition between spaces was incredibly easy. We also loved that the Upper Loft came with Bride/Groom suites, which allowed us space to get ready and take some fantastic photos prior to the wedding. We had approximately 190 people and the space did not feel crowded at all. There was plenty of room to dance, converse, eat, etc. The Loft Team: Shannon and her team were phenomenal. They were so thorough and made sure that I consider things not even on my checklist. Every single question was answered and they made sure that we were content every step of the way. The day of our wedding everything ran on time and was so smooth. I honestly never felt stressed one time. The DJ: DJ Joey was awesome! We completed the paperwork he sent us and had a brief conversation before the wedding. He was able to pinpoint us exactly and every song played at our wedding was perfect. Photo Ops: We loved that Loft 310 was willing to allow us to take photos in other spaces throughout the building as long as they weren't rented. We were able to take photos in Gatsby and Skydeck (sunset) and the pictures turned out fantastic. Overall, our experience was better than we could have ever imagined. We would give Loft 310 100 stars out of 5 if we could. Thank you for making our wedding such a wonderful memory.

uites, and more - they'll make your experience easy and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or better staff for our wedding. No matter what hiccups happened along the way, they made sure that the day of was everything we wanted it to be. Not to mention, it is STUNNING!! Our guests loved the look of everything and are still talking about how great the food was!

hannon were so incredibly helpful in orgainizing every detail for our big day. They made sure every detail was as perfect as it could be. It stormed right before the ceremony, but the crew hustled to dry the Sky Deck off with just enough time to seat gusts on dry seats prior to our outdoor ceremony. The two ready rooms are perfect for the bridal party to get ready in before the ceremony. The venue is great for a big or small wedding. Our 200 guests fit nicely and everyone had a blast. The food was absolutely amazing, and everyone loved our DJ, Joey B, provided through the Entertainment District. The staff was thoughtful enough to save some appetizers for the bridal party in our lounge. DJ Joey B was super helpful in creating a fun and memorable wedding playlist and kept everyone on the dance floor. The speakers broke half way through the reception, but they were quickly replaced with some portable speakers. Shannon promptly answered all of our emails and questions in a kind and helpful demeanor. The only complaint we had was that there was some confusion about the alcohol offered in the select package that we had picked. Booking through the Entertainment District is worth every penny. Overall, we had an amazing day that we will remember for a lifetime. We are forever greatful to the Entertainment District for helping us plan and put on the best celebration of our love we could ever imagine!

re evening was perfect. They all made the process for planning our big day So much easier!

team are wedding experts and truly made us and our guests feel so special. We got married on Skydeck and had our reception in Loft310. Both spaces are gorgeous and the food was amazing. Our DJ also kept everyone out on the dance floor all night! Three months later we still have everyone telling us how amazing our wedding was! We recommend the loft to anyone looking for a venue! Thank you all again for making our day perfect!

t my family would be able to attend easily, and we could avoid the dreaded Chicago wedding price tag. I stumbled upon Loft 310 on a Google search, and it was the first and only venue tour I had. I was hooked! The venue is incredible, and has that unique modern loft feel paired with beautiful interior design that matched our aesthetic. We booked the Upper Loft for our ceremony and reception and The Gatsby for our cocktail hour. With an Old Hollywood theme to our decor and attire, when I saw The Gatsby I was like YES. And let me tell you, some of our best photos came from that room! Everything from the amazing Google Doc they provide you for planning, to the minute by minute coordination on the day of is worth EVERY PENNY. These people know what they are doing, and they do it beautifully. The cocktails were perfectly mixed, not watered down, the food was incredible... which never happens at a wedding, and everyone had the best time, which just warms your heart when you have been stressing all year to make this the best day ever. The best part? Everything is within walking distance to this venue. Being from out of town, and a larger city, most of my friends from Chicago were able to come in without a car. You could walk from train station to the hotel to the salon, to the venue. We even had our rehearsal dinner down the street! It just made everything so easy. DO NOT HESITATE. Book this venue for your special day... you will thank me later. :)

ck back and enjoy the fruits of our planning on the day of our wedding thanks to the detail-oriented staff. 2. Loft 310 provides great planning support. We only had 4 months to plan our wedding long-distance from New York City. Shannon was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful whenever I emailed her with a question, and she put me at ease at the final planning meeting. Their planning spreadsheet also helped me stay organized and on top of all the details I needed to consider. 3. The space is clean, stylish, and looks beautiful in photos. We had a Sunday evening wedding, and being the only event that day, we were able to book the Upper Loft, Loft 310, and the Gatsby. Our guests loved flowing from one space to another from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. It made for a great party! 4. The food is awesome. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres, especially the sausage stuffed mushrooms and mac-n-cheese bites. The dinner buffet got rave reviews as well, and the macarons, mini pies, and cupcakes tasted as good as they looked. 5. We were able to adjust our menu choices and cut things that we didn’t need up until a few weeks before our wedding, which helped us to stay within our budget. 6. The downtown location makes it easy to walk to another bar for an after-party, take an Uber/Lyft, or stroll back to the Radisson, where many of us stayed. We are grateful to the Loft 310 team for a fantastic experience and highly recommend them!

ow to throw a party! Katie, and Amanda: They work in the offices and with sales, and they are absolutely amazing! From the first instant we met them until the goodbyes at the end, they worked tirelessly to make sure we felt completely comfortable with them. Katie showed us around the venue originally, and even took time out of her day to do it again a few weeks later because my mom was dying to see the ballroom. Seriously some of the nicest humans and are amazingly quick to respond, so you always feel like a priority. Shannon: My GOODNESS I love this woman. She was so incredibly attentive to every single detail we wanted in our day it was insane. She emailed back in a timely fashion, and I never had any hesitation that she 100% knew what she was doing. Shannon took time to get to know me and my fiancé, and we even had inside jokes by the time the big day was happening (#Doritos2k18). I really appreciate that she only told us what we really needed to know the day of (she didn’t bother us with little details- she just took care of it!) and she never even bat an eye at us changing things even 30 minutes before our grand entrance. Working with people all day, and especially in a high pressure situations like weddings, it can be easy to forget that you are working with someone’s most favorite day, and I never once felt as if Shannon was “over” everything happening or irritated: she really knew the details that we would remember forever, and made sure that she kept in mind that this was our wedding. We appreciated her so much it is hard to put in words, but trust me, she’s great!!!! Food: Okay the food was LIT. So many people are still RAVING about the food options 2 weeks later. We had the plated Pineapple Salmon and Chicken Medallions with green beans and Mashed Potatoes and everyone loved it:) Staff: The servers, bartenders, and day of event assistants (Michael and Caitlyn) were SO SO SO NICE! Again, I know these kind of jobs can get very tiring, however they were always willing to go the extra mile. I spoke with a few of the servers at the end of the night, and they took the time to stop what they were doing and made sure everything was going well. Michael stayed until the very end with us, and even got us drinks throughout the night which was beyond helpful! Tips and such: If this venue is within your budget ABSOLUTLY go for it! As with anything wedding related, it could sometimes get a little bit pricier then initially expected, so make sure you have that wiggle room within that budget for extra things (and don’t forget about service taxes and such). They also offer the option for cleanup and storage for an extra fee, but make sure to let those helping you with everything know that it is an extra fee! My parents got a little confused and almost kept everything there overnight. Just make sure everyone helping you knows that you are not keeping things overnight so when the staff asks you if you are keeping it overnight they know that that is not a free option! They also hand out wrist bands at the end of the night to get into places downstairs and that was SO FUN! I got to ride a mechanical bull IN MY WEDDING DRESS!!! I would totally chose this venue again! Thank you so much all the Loft 310 staff for helping us make the wedding of our dreams come true!

310 for the reception, and both Penthouse suites for our bridesmaids and groomsmen. Having everything at one location the day of was perfect and definitely contributed to a stress-free day. Shannon, the wedding coordinator, and her team handled every detail and made our wedding day seamless. My husband and I live in Chicago and had zero issues planning an out of town wedding thanks to the Loft 310 team. Thank you for everything!!

the best and thought of everything. The staff is amazing, the venue is absolutely beautiful and the location is prime! We also stayed in the penthouse the night before and the night of and it really just made things so easy! Loft 310 Has it all. If you want an all inclusive experience, this is the place! Taco bar was to die for and the bash bakery knows how to make some bomb desserts! Thank you all for making the best weekend ever a dream come true! Sandy and Rocky Parker

nt for your wedding day - it all depends on your budget. It can get quite pricey if you use their services or select any of their upgrades (decor/linens/chargers/chandeliers, chiavari chairs, Bash Bakery, hors d’oeuvres, late night snacks, bridal/groom suites, etc.), however, they are flexible and allow you to bring in and set-up your own decor and customize the space however you imagine. They even offer decor installation and clean-up (for a price, but we felt it was worth it) so that you can relax and enjoy the day/night. If you follow their social media, they often have promos and giveaways that you can win to enhance your space or event! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shannon. Her organization, planning and communication was exceptional, especially since we were planning the wedding from 2 hours away. She was very accommodating and quickly responded to emails. She made planning the wedding so easy. We rented one of the Penthouses above the venue, which aside from some AC issues the night before the wedding, was totally worth it. We had Bare Beauty Bar & Spa come to the Penthouse (without a travel fee) to do hair and make-up for 10 ladies, and they did a phenomenal job. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was such a fun experience for my bridesmaids and me, and later for our wedding party when we had downtime between the ceremony and rehearsal. Furthermore, it was such a beautiful space for photos! Having the Penthouse available to us at any point during the wedding was definitely a plus. The food was delicious and we received many compliments from our guests. We elected not to have hors d’oeuvres at our cocktail hour, but felt that the dinner portions were satisfying enough so that our guests didn’t go hungry. Furthermore, they are very accommodating to dietary restrictions and food allergies. I just wish we could have sampled more than 2 entrees at our tasting! You can bring in outside cake/dessert as long as it’s from an accredited bakery and they don’t charge a cake cutting or serving fee. When envisioning our day, we considered the DJ to be one of the most important parts of our reception. It was too expensive to bring in an outside DJ, but the one that was assigned to our reception did a good job. I was a little worried because we didn’t hear from him (via email) until the week of the wedding and didn’t actually meet him until 15 minutes before the wedding party introductions, but he adhered to our “must-play” list and had everyone out on the dance floor until the very end. When all was said and done, our guests could not stop raving about the venue, the food and overall how much fun they had. The actual day went very smoothly and the staff did a great job behind the scenes to make that happen. We would definitely recommend Loft 310!

well. Yes, the pricing and understanding some things can get confusing but I never felt like they were avoiding telling me anything. You just need to ask questions if you want something clarified. Our ceremony was on the SkyDeck and I feel like it turned out so well. I didn't notice any hiccups with the microphone or the ceremony music. Our reception was in the Upper Loft and the space worked amazingly well for what I envisioned. The food was amazing and tasted exactly the same as the tasting prior to the wedding (we had chicken medallions and pork). Our guests have continued to comment that its some of the best food they've had at weddings. The service was also amazing and again, our guests noticed! We also used their in house DJ and he did everything we asked and more! We asked him to just keep people on the dance floor and he did exactly that. Though he didn't play many songs on my "must play" list, I wasn't really disappointed at all because the songs he did play kept people on the dance floor and everyone was having a good time. I felt like they took care of us so well that day and it felt less stressful knowing they were making sure things were running smoothly.

t’s all about the money for them and not the customer experience. They handle a lot for you, which is one of the reasons we really picked the venue to begin with but that ended up being a downside in the end because they don’t have a focus on quality like we thought they did and didn’t put nearly as much attention to detail on a lot of stuff that was important to me. For example, we really emphasized that the DJ was a very important part of our day for us. To go with an outside DJ tacked on a large fee for “set up” and we were assured if we went with theirs that we would receive a quality DJ so we trusted them and went with theirs. I wasn’t given the name of the DJ until the week before the wedding. I personally sat with Shannon and went over all our important moments where music played a huge factor in our day. Then we met in person with the DJ to ensure everyone was on the same page. The music for our ceremony and all major dances got messed up, things weren’t announced right, timing was wrong. When you go to a wedding you know what a good DJ experience is and we really did not receive that and we had many guests that noticed. The most frustrating part is when we escalated it to the people running the venue we were pretty much brushed off. There was many more problems we had with the venue, if you have any questions as a bride to be or somebody booking feel free to message me.

disappointing for the newlyweds. One such occurrence was at the beginning of the ceremony music was supposed to be switched and this was not done smoothly, and at the end, again not transitioned well. During the ceremony the mothers of bridge and groom were to pour wine they choose with notes on why, into glasses for the bride and groom to pour together in unity. The coordinator took the bottles without the notes and did not open the bottles so the groom had to do this during the ceremony and the notes were never found. The music was picked out very intentionally and was special to them and the DJ was not good at all. We understood to bring in a DJ of our choice was an additional expense but my daughter was convinced by the venue that the DJ they had was experienced and would do well. My daughter had given specific instructions on music for the ceremony and the wedding that she wanted played that were not followed. The DJ fumbled a lot through both the ceremony and the reception. Requested music by guests, we as the parents and even the bride herself was ignored or we had to repeatedly ask to be played. My daughter and son in law took it all in stride and were determined to enjoy every moment of their special day. We wanted to enjoy the day and not be fussing and complaining with all of our family and friends there celebrating with us. It was an amazing day but it is disappointing that when a customer brings up areas that did not meet expectations there is no recourse or care given.

beautiful, but the look of the loft and the endless stress were not worth the price and the hassle. Everything was overpriced and we were nickeled and dimed at every turn. They were somewhat accommodating of our requests, but we felt it was a bit ridiculous that we even had to make the requests in the first place. It was difficult to understand their pricing and they were evasive when asked direct questions. The DJs they provided were unresponsive and did not play the correct song during the ceremony. We paid for a microphone during the ceremony, but it stopped working just before we started, so we couldn't be heard very well during the ceremony. They also stopped songs while people were dancing at the reception. We had selected steak as a meal option, but our guests were not provided steak knives, making it very difficult to eat. Another wedding was happening at the same time in the other loft space and we could barely hear the toasts over the noise of their music. Overall, we felt more frustrated than anything in planning our wedding at Loft 310.

son is amazing on their team!

reception, and it led to a fairy tale wedding! The suites are spacious and were perfect to get ready in and hang out with family. The ceremony ran so smoothly with the help of Shannon, and the reception was flawless! The dj was great and all of the guests raved about the food taste and quantity. Our guests also loved being able to go out to the bars after the wedding. Everything was all in one location which made it very easy for our guests! Shannon and Amanda made it extremely easy planning and day of the wedding with all of their support, guidance, spreadsheets, and timelines. They really helped make the evening magical and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Not to mention, they always answered all of my emails and questions really quickly and lowered any anxieties I had. They were awesome! Highly recommend this venue!

taff, food and vibe of this place are phenomenal! We received countless compliments on how incredible the venue was and how wonderful the service was! We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!!

int Colborn of Baseline Productions DJ Service, and he was GREAT! The space has large windows overlooking Kalamazoo and is big and bright! It is so pretty that you do not need very much decoration, we did simple centerpieces and it looked great. The venue is a few blocks away from a very nice hotel, the Radisson, which is where we set up our room block. There is parking available close by as well. We also did a cocktail hour at the Gatsby, which is next door to the loft and apart of the package we chose. We did a buttered cocktail hour with three different hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. We had 184 guests attend our wedding and the cocktail hour was a little tight, but not uncomfortable. The food was fantastic, we chose a plated dinner service with three entrees (chicken, salmon, and steak). Everyone raved about the food, from the cocktail hour to the dessert. At the end of the night the bartenders hand out wrist bands to guests 21 and over that gets you in to several close bars for free and ahead of the line. We went to the Wild Bull and rode the bull! There is also a piano bar and a rooftop bar included. We were so happy with our decision to have our wedding at this venue and highly recommend Loft 310!

ing florals and that was probably one of the best decisions we could have made. Lori worked seamlessly with the Loft 310 staff and made our vision a reality while staying on budget.

; this space was perfect and gave a cozy & sophisticated feel to our wedding. Even during the event, the staff were professional and accommodating. They helped monitor/kick out wedding crashers and adjusted the temperature when guests were getting cold. When the bartender had to leave for a couple minutes to restock the bar, Shannon (the event planner) jumped behind the bar because our guests were lining up. The real surprise was the food! We did not do a tasting before our wedding (although they do offer it) so we were taking a shot in the dark and to our delight, our guests would not stop talking about how good all the food was! As someone who has worked several years in customer service I know what it means to go above and beyond and this team does just that! I would recommend Loft 310 for any private event you may be considering.

ure the day was perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food (especially the grilled cheese shooters!), and talking about how glam/unique this venue is. I promise you the penthouse and ready rooms are well worth the extra money - they really made the day stress free being right onsite . If you are looking for a place to hold your wedding - this is a must see!!!

other wedding reception in the building but were reassured it wouldn't interfere. During our toasts I could barely hear anything over the music pumping from below. Dinner service interrupted the best man as he stood go give his toast. We were 'sold' on their wonderful 'day of' coordination but there was barely any communication between the staff and us that night, and I could never find our 'coordinator' when I needed her. Cocktail hour at the Gatsby was a nightmare, we had 150 guests with only two bartenders, so no one could get served... even me, the bride! Multiple guests said the bartenders were really rude, I wouldn't know because I couldn't get waited on. The bar was littered with garbage and there was just one staffer clearing the napkins/glasses/plates with his bare hands. The sound system they charged us $1000 to plug in to was terrible. The staff ended up serving real champagne to all the kids (which they loved LOL)! We paid the extra money for the digital sign on the side of the building but were never told that it was featured as one of several signs scrolling throughout the night. We complained after the fact that we never once saw our sign and they refunded us our money because they said it was in fact not working. Had we not said complained they wouldn't have given us our money back. The food was great and the ambiance was beautiful, but unfortunately it was a very disappointing night.

ppy accident! The entire staff (Amanda and Shannon especially) were incredibly attentive and saw that all the details were taken care of so our families and friends could have a blast and we could relax and enjoy our big day. They made it so easy to have a perfect wedding day.

ter and son-in-law envisioned for their Big Day! Everyone loved the space and the ability to flow from the beautiful ceremony in the Upper Loft to classy cocktails in the Gatsby and then to the enchanting reception in the Loft 310. Amanda and Shannon were amazing and made the entire day a joy. They made sure every detail was attended to and every guest was taken care of. They were professional, kind and caring. You can truly tell they love what they do! And hats off to the chef and wait staff! So many guests have continued to talk about how amazing the food was and the quality of the dinner service. Did I mention we also stayed in the luxurious Penthouses?! What a wonderful way to extend your wedding weekend experience and stay right at the venue! Just so amazing!! Thank you to all the Staff and Management at Loft 310 for helping to make Olivia and Christian's wedding day so perfect!!!

so taken care of. Shannon was stellar to work with and answered all of our questions as if we were the only wedding she was planning and the only couple on her mind. This is one of the most expensive venues in Kalamazoo, but we fell in love with the spaces and knew this was where we wanted to get married. All of our guests had a fantastic time and are still talking about how beautiful it was and how good the food was. We wish we could get married here again! :)

ati, Shannon, Amanda, and Christina all were amazing through the whole planning process as far as responsiveness to any questions or concerns we had. Our wedding day was perfect. I didn't have to worry about a single thing thanks to Amanda and Shannon being there to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had so many complements from our guests on the venue as well as the food. We chose to do a cocktail-style reception with hors d'oeuvres and it was really unique and fun. We also booked one of the penthouses for my bridal party which I would highly recommend doing if you have the chance! Overall, it was a great day that was well prepared for and that we and our guests really enjoyed.

ey were so easy to communicate with, they make a damn google sheet for you! Like- I just filled in the blanks and was all set. It does not get easier! I would not change a thing about my experience with the Loft 310 team. They helped me with every aspect of our big day! If you are a bride looking for ease- tables, chairs, great food and an incredible maintained space- SCHEDULE A TOUR I promise you will not regret it. I wish I could give them more stars. I love this place and my wedding was perfect.

one place was wonderfully efficient. Any time I had questions, even if they were small and silly, I received a friendly, quick, and thorough response. The day of the wedding we had no worries because the staff was present and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this venue to everyone and anyone!

ple elegance of both spaces. They were pretty much blank slates - perfect for using as little or as much decoration as we wanted. We chose to have our cocktail hour on the SkyDeck, and our reception in the Upper Loft. We hired our florist to design hanging installations with greenery, and it was absolutely breath-taking. We also put greenery on the walls, and utilized their crystal chandeliers. I decided early on that I wanted to rent out the Penthouse Suite for the night before the wedding, and also the wedding night. My bridesmaids and I had such a fun night together in the suite before the wedding, and then woke up to a beautiful room full of windows and light where we had our hair and make-up done the next morning (our hair stylists from Cheeky Strut got us ready in the Penthouse)! We had a full kitchen to make breakfast in and had the ultimate getting-ready experience! It was also really convenient to stay in the Penthouse with my husband for our wedding night - after hanging out with our guests on the Skydeck after the wedding, we just walked downstairs and retired for the evening! Shannon P was so present throughout the entire wedding planning process and answered countless questions and emails from me, many times within a matter of an hour or so! Katie was also such a great resource before signing with the Loft, and was equally as responsive to all of my questions. I'm very glad that we chose the Loft 310 to host our wedding reception, our guests were blown away and had the most amazing time! I definitely recommend this venue to brides who want to have their wedding in a central location with plenty of things for their guests to do, there was never a dull moment. Thank you to Loft 310 for helping us create our perfect wedding day. :)

ate, Kati, Shannon, Christina, and Amanda all worked their butts off to make sure we were happy. We felt like the really cared about us and our special day. We're so happy that we chose them for our wedding. Our wedding was nerdy and they worked to make sure the entire experience was personalized. Additionally, we had several guests with severe food allergies, and they worked with us make sure that everyone could have a delicious meal that fit their food needs. It was just perfect!

p of the planning process, kept us on track the day of, and were very accommodating to all of our wants and needs. Everything about our experience was stress-free and truly allowed us to enjoy our night. We received compliments from all of our guests about the decor and setup of Monaco Bay, and everyone loved the food! Plus, who doesn't like dueling pianos?

rs with butler service. It was a beautiful sunny day, and you have the option of a tent so your guests can have some shade. We were able to have a singer up there, and the view cannot be beat, it was wonderful to see the guests oohing & aahing over the view! Shannon, Amanda & Christina were just top notch all the way. We lacked for nothing, and were able to have all the quirkiness we wanted in our wedding. We next moved one floor down to the Upper Loft, which is a gorgeous space with a similar feel to the skydeck, with huge windows along 3 of the walls. The food was very, very good, had several guests tell us it was the best they'd had at a wedding. I'm a vegetarian, and the veggie option was great, not just an afterthought like at many places. It was really great to have a venue that took care of all of the food & drink - one stop shopping! They had a great bar package for us, including some craft beers & top shelf liquors. If you live near or in Kalamazoo & are getting married, you absolutely owe it to yourself to see this incredible space!

ption and the Gatsby room for cocktail hour. The whole staff at Loft 310 made our day effortless, memorable and amazing in every way. Coordinators Shannon and Amanda were so accommodating and made rehearsal night and our wedding day run so smooth. We just floated around while they made sure people and things were where they needed to be and when. It made for a stress free day on everyone involved and allowed for us to enjoy every moment possible. They also took it upon themselves to contact all our vendors and direct them on all instructions for the day of. We really had to worry about nothing. Time leading up to the wedding, they were very responsive and informative to all emails, calls, questions ect. I 100% recommend using their DJ’s. We were assigned to DJ Dave and he rocked it. He made it a party and had everyone up dancing all night long. We also loved that wrists band were handed out at the end of the reception for the Wild Bull Bar and Piano Bar below the venue. We all has so much fun going to the Wild Bull Bar watching everyone take a turn riding the bull. (Bride and Groom are free  and we took full advantage!) We have heard nothing but praise on the food, DJ, venue, and overall experience our guests had at our wedding. I would strongly recommend the Loft 310! Worth every penny spent.

xtra to bring in your own DJ and their DJ had a hard time following the instructions given to him. If you use Loft 310, be sure to print a hard copy of the contract. They use a webpage as a contract and when your event is over, the contents of your contract disappear. Also ensure that everything is written down and not spoken over the phone. I did not have a good experience with this venue or the staff and they have not righted their mistakes.

ame and viewed the Upper Loft, we knew right away this is where we were going to get married. The icing on the cake? Loft 310 is virtually a one stop shop-our DJ, food, bar items, rented furniture, where we got ready, and where we stayed (we rented the Penthouse for the weekend) were all through them. Not only did that lessen our stress, but it was nice to have one contact to reach out to when we needed questions answered. On that note, Shannon was our coordinator and she was amazing. She answered every little question we had for her and was always upbeat and positive while doing it. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. Amanda, Shannon, Morgan, and Katrina were incredible. They were so organized and communicated with us throughout the day to ensure everything was as it should be. In all honestly, I felt how invested they were in our day and they their effort showed. We were able to focus on enjoying ourselves and not what was going on behind the scenes. All of our guests kept coming up to us throughout the night asking, "how did you find this place, it's amazing!" And amazing it was. Getting married at Loft 310 was the best wedding decision we made and we can't thank the staff enough for everything they did!
