Amazing. My husband and I had our reception here in May and it was absolutely wonderful. The venue is stunning with so much character and charm. The food was delicious. Family was raving about it. We are so grateful for the team at Loring Social/ D’Amico & Sons for helping us navigate through all the uncertainties and curveballs leading up to the wedding day as well as helping to make our day the best day ever. We are forever grateful for them.
Loring Social is an absolutely stunning venue In every way. We booked this venue prior to COVID for a November 2020 wedding, we did proceed to have our event on that date and had a wonderful and safe experience.
We understandably did have to cut our guest list to adhere to state protocols for capacity of the venue, But we lucked out with a beautiful 70 degree November day and were able to have the large garage door open for the entirety of the evening allowing our guests to be inside and outside and have fresh air. Our Guests have repeatedly told us they felt comfortable in the space with the capacity/ mask requirements / cleaning and sanitizing stations and protocols in this COVID era.
I would like to end by Complimenting the staff, I have never felt more attended to in my life, it was the support I needed on my Wedding day. So a huge shoutout to all of the incredible staff at the Loring Social venue.
In an ever changing COVID world we recommend this venue as they were adaptable, kind, helpful and the space itself gave us incredible wedding memories and photos we will never forget.
We had booked Loring Social pre-COVID but decided to still continue with our "COVID" wedding come our big day but at a much smaller scale and I have to say how much I respect D'Amico for taking COVID so seriously. As regulations changed nearly weekly for the months leading up, D'Amico was always there to communicate with us and let us know. While we were only allowed 90 people at our wedding versus the 200+ event we had planned, D'Amico and the staff at Loring made our day very special where you didn't notice it was a smaller wedding because the space itself is so intimate and romantic. Since D'Amico owns Loring, everyone raved about our food from the appetizers to entrees to desserts, but I think the biggest hit was the sliders and fries as the late night snack.
I can't adequately state how wonderful it was to host our wedding reception at Loring Social. We essentially chose it for its location (our ceremony was at the Basilica across the street), but it really wowed us with its beautiful modern design and excellent service from the D'Amico Catering staff. Can't recommend it enough!
From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience planning and hosting our wedding at Loring Social! We knew it was our venue from the moment we walked in.
We were charmed by the modern, elegant vibe and absolutely loved the location. We were lucky to work with Christie, Meredith and team to help us pull off a truly beautiful event. The Chelsea Room was perfect for both our wedding and reception while the Waverly Room dazzled during cocktail hour. Our guests were wowed by the food, ambience and friendly staff. We are thrilled with the result—it really was a dream come true!
This was the perfect venue for our Friday evening wedding. The event coordinating team was amazing to work with. They listened to any concerns and worked to help us in our path to planning our day. The staff for the day of wedding was so professional, accommodating, helpful and gracious. We had passed appetizers for our cocktail hour that were extraordinary! We had 3 chef stations for dinner and a beautiful dessert bar. We heard rave revues from our guests on the venue, staff and food! You helped us has the perfect day/night!
Everyone associated with Loring Social went above and beyond to ensure our day and our guests' experience were perfect. We worked with Christie throughout the entire process, and she made planning seamless and fun, and she brought our vision for the day to life. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
Our New Years Eve wedding was truly a dream! Loring Social is the perfect space to have an intimate wedding yet feel like there is enough space to move. We wanted the night to be festive for NYE but still be warm and romantic! Amanda was a gem to work with and everything turned out fabulous. The food was phenomenal, exactly like our private tasting. Everyone was professional and the flip went by so fast! We had our ceremony in the reception room then moved to the Waverly room for cocktail hour and back into the other room for dinner and dancing. We had a live band, which worked great, floral and candles everywhere and an amazing cannon send off at midnight. If your looking for a warm and welcoming space this is it! D’amico is by far the best! One happy bride ❤️
Loring Social was ABSOLUTELY perfect!!! The space, planner, wait staff, and catering provided was impeccable and I could not have imagined it any better. The space is gorgeous- high industrial ceilings and pretty brick mixed with modern beautiful chandeliers and cool artwork in the transition/hallways area. We used the Waverly Room for cocktail hour- it had plenty of space for everyone and the large bar was great, the planner also suggested adding in another free standing bar at the other end of the room which was a great idea to make sure lines didn't form. We also used the bar in this room as the dessert bar later on so guests could take their dessert at will/pick what they wanted- it was perfect! The Chelsea room accommodated our 200 guests well and was stunning. We had a 10 piece band as well, and ended up only needing to remove two tables after dinner to clear room for the dance floor. The bar is RIGHT on the dance floor which all of our guests loved and commented on- you don't ever have to leave the party to get/refill your drink! It was one of my favorite things about the space. Another amazing part is the glass garage door. We kept it closed during during, speeches and for the first hour or so of dancing, but opened it up after that. They had sectioned off a small outdoor area outside the garage door as well so people could stand outside for a break if they wanted while still being in/apart of the party- people loved it!
The planner for the space- Christie- is AWESOME. She is very nice and easy to work with, and very on top of her game. She helped us throughout the whole process to make sure both the space and catering was exactly what we wanted- and it turned out perfectly! She made great suggestions that we would not have thought of had she not been apart of the process.
The D'Amico catering was amazing. The passed appitizers, drinks, dinner and cake/other desserts were all fantastic- especially for wedding food! One of our guests used to be a chef and even went out of his way to talk to us about the food and the filet in particular- for example he informed us that they sous vide the meat to ensure it is cooked correctly/not overdone as oftentimes meat/food can be when cooked on a mass scale. It was delicious!
Overall, it was beautiful and just what I wanted- and better than I imagined. I highly recommend it!
