From the first day we walked into Park Loft we knew immediately it was where we wanted to celebrate our special day (after only seeing 1 other venue might I add!). Allie walked us through the venue, and allowed us to envision the entire day from start to finish - it was such a surreal experience.
Allie was so extremely helpful through the entire planning process - every time we visited the venue she gave us a refresh tour, always responded to emails/texts quickly with more info then even requested, and even a few days leading up to the wedding ensured we were confident in our plans for the day and had all our concerns addressed. Allie made the entire planning process so seamless for us that there was not an ounce of stress the day of - we knew everything was covered off on.
We did not do a tasting, but the way Chef Thomas spoke of all his dishes with the clear passion he has, we knew everything was going to be amazing and his team absolutely exceeded our expectations! Our guests were so impressed by the attention to detail in all the food and how Thomas was out and about all night chatting with our guests. He also checked in on our parents constantly to make sure they were eating & reminded them if they weren’t. An absolute pleasure to work! And I must add they gave us a to-go package with everything from cocktail hour, reception, desserts & late night snacks so we got to actually enjoy everything for the next few days after the wedding!
Every time we visited the venue both Ryan’s would make it a point to come over and say hi, see how we were. It was such a simple thing, however, it made such an impression on how much PL cares about their couples. Day of they were absolutely amazing, getting us everything we needed, making sure we were on schedule, making sure we were eating, tossing my veil in the wind for pictures - they did not miss a beat! Not only did they ensure we were taken care of, they also had their eyes on my grandparents all night & made sure they were taken care of which was such a relief for my family. All our other day of coordinators were so amazing as well - checking in on us all night, bustled my dress (which was not easy), and even just a joy to have around throughout the night.
Alexa we met towards the end but was an absolute joy to work with! So kind & helpful to ensure everything was setup for day of and organized perfectly!
There are so many more staff members we crossed paths with on this journey and all of you have made an everlasting memory for us. We are so grateful we got to celebrate our special day at the Park Loft - a day we will absolutely never forget.
Our guests were so impressed by the venue, the staff, the food, the drinks (especially our signature drinks!). We have heard nothing but positive things - especially regarding the staff as most guests have never experienced such kind people who were also so interactive with the crowd. Even our vendors were impressed by the kindness from everyone there - it’s rare they have positive interactions with venue staff.
We wish we could relive the day over and over! It was absolutely perfect and we could not thank the team enough - every detail absolutely exceeded our expectations and we are so sad it is over! It’s a day we will never stop talking about thanks to Park Loft!

From touring the venue to post-wedding, The Park Loft was extremely professional and reassuring throughout the wedding planning process. The employees were always quick to answer any questions and on top of making sure we had every detail planned out. They had plans and backup plans, such as an alternative to cocktail hour if it were to rain outside. They never made us feel rushed in our planning or that any detail was silly. For example, I really wanted a red fruit garnish on the champagne glasses and there was never any feeling of “judgment” for asking for something such as that. Our final details meeting the week before the wedding felt like a weight off of our shoulders, knowing that the entire staff was making sure we were all exactly on the same page while still assuring us that we should not have a single doubt or worry on the wedding day. This was so true, they listened to us and made notes, they set out the decorations exactly as discussed as well as took liberties with the style and placement of decor (as we asked them to) to make sure everything looked cohesive. We really felt like we didn’t have to think about anything the day of, they took care of it.
Our ceremony was off-site, but from the second we arrived at The Park Loft, a group of staff members were waiting for us and swept us away to be alone to take pictures, to hold my veil, to make sure we had water and a glass of champagne in hand. We joke that they truly made us feel like royalty. Throughout the night they were checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. My MIL and MOH were the 2 people who knew how to bustle my dress, and you needed 2 people, but 2 of the women of The Park Loft staff took on the task of bustling my dress to make sure that my MIL would enjoy cocktail hour instead. Throughout the night, they were on top of making sure we had everything we needed, no matter what, without feeling like they were over-bearing either. The feedback we have gotten from the guests that attended is incredible as well, they said the staff such as the bartenders, waiters/waitresses, the chef, etc. were extremely kind to them and that they had the same experience as us, checking in to see if there was anything else the guests might need.
The day after the wedding, we went to pick up our decorations. They had all of the decorations very nicely packed for us and the chef made fresh versions of all of the food (3 coolers full) from the wedding day that way we could enjoy anything we might have missed. I have a gluten/dairy allergy, and the chef even went the extra mile to make sure everything was labeled and packed separately for me.
Our only wish now is to attend a wedding here ourselves, so that we can experience The Park Loft as guests.
Any questions?

It's taken me a few months to gather my thoughts on our wedding at Park Loft this past August, but I would be remiss to share how absolutely spectacular every step our planning and wedding day with Park Loft was. The entire staff at Park Loft went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect day. I'm still having family members and friends coming to me to say it was one of the best weddings venues they had been to with the BEST food. As a bride there's so many things that you worry about throughout the planning process but there simply wasn't a thought in my head that whole day. The staff took care of absolutely everything with the utmost professionalism and flare.
From the first time my husband and I walked into the building we knew we had to have our wedding there. Walking into the reception hall had our jaws on the floor. The entire property is stunning, the fixtures are classic yet fun, but the thing that continuously stands out in my memory is working with their staff. Chef Thomas, Alexa, Allison, and Ryan (1 &2), you all made our wedding day run so smoothly & I'm so grateful for the work you do. I recommend working with them 1000x over and anyone planning a wedding there please invite me so I can eat more of their food and hang out with them some more, please and thank you.
Love,
Carly & John (Fitz)

The absolute BEST day ever. From the first time we toured the venue to the day after the wedding when we went to pick up decorations, working/planning with all of the Park Loft staff was so easy and amazing.
So many guests went out of their way to tell us how amazing the staff was and of course how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Thankfully we got to eat dinner at our wedding, because Chef Thomas & his team exceeded all expectations.
We're hoping we get to return as guests one day because we loved it there so much & would choose Park Loft as our wedding venue 100x over again. If you are considering Park Loft, definitely book it!

There arent enough words to describe Park Loft. My daughters wedding was November 17th. People are still talking about it. The staff made it a stress free day. Chef Thomas is first class. He went to every table to make sure everything was good. Do not look at another venue. This Is It!!!!! Wish we could do it again!!!

From the beginning stages of planning our wedding to the very end the Park Loft staff was specular. Allie and Alexa were an absolute pleasure to work with, both of them were always on top of their game, answered all my questions, communicated everything so clearly, and were always willing to work with me. Chef Thomas and the kitchen crew outdid themselves. I have been getting compliments on the food, drinks, and venue weeks after our wedding. 100000/10 would rebook our wedding here if we had the chance to do it over!

Park Loft is a relatively newer venue, so we were taking a gamble when we signed the contract in February of 2023. After almost two years of planning, we got married on Oct 27, 2024 and both agree that Park Loft was one of the best decisions we made.
Ryan and Alexa were the absolute best to work with leading up to the wedding. I constantly had a million questions for Alexa and even if it took a few days to get back to me, she always answered each with thoughtful, detailed responses, even adding photos and layouts to assist any explanations. There were a few staffing switch ups throughout our time spent with Park Loft, but we preferred Alexa over previous coordinators, so everything worked out in the end. I was especially impressed with her almost militant decor drop off process. As a type A bride, I appreciate the Alexas of the world.
Ryan is Park Loft's day of coordinator. How he's not an elderly old man astounds me, because it seems like he's been running weddings for a hundred years. Yes, he asked all the right questions, provided insightful advice and walked us through the small to broad details, but what really made Ryan stand out to me was his calming presence on the day. I look back and cherish all our vendors who helped gently guide us through the day. They set the vibe right amidst the chaos. That's truly priceless.
You'll find no shortage of Park Loft reviews that mention how amazing the food was and ours was no exception. It was the number one comment from our guests. We're so grateful to have worked with someone as talented as Chef Thomas. He didn't need to, but he certainly went out of his way to make everyone's night memorable from going around speaking to our tables to creating special dishes for our vegan friends.
Another person I'd like to highlight is Lindsay, their resident bar manager. We're both big cocktail folks, so we really appreciate her guidance regarding our signature drinks. She was eager to play around with our favorite ingredients and after settling on our cocktails, it was a relief to hear that both were a hit with our guests.

Park Loft was an absolutely amazing venue! We took a chance on them two years ago before they even held a wedding there and to say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. From the booking process all the way up to our wedding day, Park Loft was professional, organized, and accommodating. The staff is helpful every step of the way. Ryan was an essential part of hosting and having our wedding at the Park Loft. He is organized and focuses on making your day perfect! I could probably go on and on about how amazing Park Loft was for my wedding. My guests are STILL talking about how amazing the venue and the food were. Chef Thomas and his team are nothing short of spectacular and they really go above and beyond making your wedding tailored to your preferences. If you are looking for a modern/traditional venue (no ballrooms, etc.) you should book Park Loft immediately!!

Wow, the team at Park Loft blew my husband and I away. I had the most perfect wedding day and I owe a lot of that to Park Loft. We booked PL in 2022 before they had their first wedding and took a chance on them without prior reviews; they exceeded our expectations. We worked mostly with Allie leading up to the wedding. She was very responsive, informative, and helpful with any questions we had. Park Loft took care of so much with the planning process leading up to the wedding, I had zero stress going into the wedding day which was an amazing feeling. Ryan and Ryan were INCREDIBLE on the day of the wedding, Ryan knew what I needed before I even did and was so on top of every single small detail throughout the day. Chef Thomas is truly the best of the best. The quality of the food, the presentation, organization, everything. He stopped at every table to introduce himself and made sure to check on guests with dietary restrictions after the food came out. He is so personable and was such a huge part in making our day what it was. Our guests were truly blown away by Park Loft, the venue grounds, the staff, and the food. We had a lot of industry guests in attendance and everyone was saying that Park Loft truly out-did themselves. I couldn’t recommend it enough! If you are a future Park Loft bride, I promise you are in great hands.

We can't say enough about the Park Loft. My wife and I had a 2 year engagement, and were one of the first couples to book the venue. From day one, Allie, Ryan and Alecia were extremely knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Given that PL was a new venue, there were some aspects that were still being built or under construction (summer of 2022), and the team shared their vision of how they expected the venue layout, staff, menu, etc. to be designed. I am not exaggerating when I say PL delivered on everything they promised, and beyond 50 fold. The venue is absolutely beautiful and combines NJ history (1940's dance hall) with a modern french type architecture. The landscaping grounds are amazing. The team was extremely helpful in planning, and week and day of, Allie, Ryan, Ryan, Lace and Lindsey were so unbelievably attentive catering to our every need in both bridal suites and throughout the night. I can't say enough about Chef Thomas. This is not your typical "wedding food" or menu - he has worked in some of the best restaurants in the south and northeast, some of the best wedding venues, and combined all of his culinary expertise to create a restaurant style offering. Thomas, his chef staff, the wait staff, the bartenders, everyone was absolutely spectacular. The best part is, we had FUN with their staff. It actually felt like we were celebrating with them on our day and enjoyed every moment. I can't say enough about Park Loft, if you want to remember this one day for the rest of your life and know it will be done right, with every promise kept, BOOK THIS VENUE.

We toured and booked with Park Loft in July 2022 (for July 2024) while they were still under construction and not holding their first wedding for a few months. While we loved the beautiful venue, it was the professional, knowledgeable, creative, and kind time that gave us the confidence to book. Allie was with us every step of the way during our two year planning process. If she didn’t have the answer to a question, she consulted with her team and got back to us quickly, also offering helpful tips along the way. Every time we stopped by the venue, we were always excited to see the beautiful new additions they made and were amazed by how fast they moved. At our final details meeting, Ryan & Ryan, along with Chef Thomas, made sure they could do everything possible to make our day be exactly how we wanted. Chef Thomas is a true professional, whose dishes are creative and delish. As many other people have wrote, we were told by many guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Guests were also in awe of the uniqueness of the venue and the amazing service. Ryan & Ryan also made sure the day of our wedding moved as smooth as possible. Our attendants, Lindsey and Lace, were also amazing and kind. It rained all day, until we could go out for pictures; when we came in before the ceremony we realized there was a giant ring of dirt and grass stain around the train of my dress. Lindsey and Lace jumped into action, cleaning my dress as our priest did a rehearsal, so it was essentially good as new for the ceremony. The Park Loft team truly thinks of everything. Our day could not have been more amazing.

I am struggling to find the words to express how amazing Park Loft is! We got married at Park Loft on May 10th. From the moment you tour the staff are so attentive and treat you like family. I had the privilege of working with Allie and cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Allie answered every single one of my questions and is so attentive in responding to emails and texts/calls in a timely matter. My advice to brides is to LISTEN to the staff. They are the experts and they know best, they are there everyday! I really did not want to open the upstairs area for cocktail hour but Allie encouraged me to do so. While the cocktail area is small, opening the upstairs gives your guests space and somewhere to sit. No one complained that the cocktail area was too small and everyone was glad to have space to mingle. I am so glad I listened to her advice!
The only thing that I did not love is that we could not get ready on site however that was not a huge deal to me. We ended up getting ready at the Sheraton in the bridal suite which was perfect.
Leading up to my wedding, all of the staff at Park Loft were absolutely amazing. I came in for walk throughs with my vendors and other times with friends/family who I wanted to show the space. Each time I was given a guided tour and even had the privilege of receiving a tour from the owner Alecia, who let me pick her brain and discuss my ideas!
Park Loft provides you with so much! We used their card box, easels, candles, table numbers, signature drink signs and more. Plus, we got an amazing cake from Chocolate Carrousel in our contract.
My wedding day was everything that I dreamed of and more. I had a hiccup with my florist and Allie and Chef Tom made sure to fix this. They went into the Park Loft garden and found supplies and florals to fix my florists mistake. In what world does a venue do this? I mean, the CHEF made an effort to ensure that my florals were fixed. Chef Tom also left the kitchen and made rounds at my wedding to make sure that my guests were happy. He even offered to bring a fresh dinner out to a few of my guests who were outside when dinner was served. Ryan was absolutely amazing during the planning process and on my wedding day. He made me feel so comfortable in my decisions and offered his advice which I gladly accepted. Working with Allie, Chef Tom and Ryan was a dream. I am so happy with the team that Park Loft set me up with!
The feedback that I am still receiving from my guests is that Park Loft held one of the nicest weddings that they have ever been to, which is saying a lot as New Jersey has a ton of amazing venues. The food and drinks were top of the line, simply amazing. The service at Park Loft is insane in the best way. The servers are so attentive and anything you need is provided to you in seconds.
It is absolutely stunning inside and out. It rained on my wedding day and I did not even notice because everything is covered and you still have an opportunity to get outside photos, plus the inside has so many great photo opportunities.
I can go on and on about how amazing Park Loft is. If this is on your list of venues PLEASE go look and ask for Allie, she's the best!

Park Loft is nothing short of a dream! From the moment we first reached out to schedule a tour, the staff (Allie, specifically) was so lovely and communicative through the whole process. The venue might be relatively new, but the staff runs the event like they’ve been working together forever. Our guests consistently gave us two comments: 1. The food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding, and 2. the staff was so kind and attentive. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing.

My HUSBAND and I had our wedding at Park Loft on Thursday (3.14.24) and to say it was incredible is an understatement!!
From the moment we entered Park Loft we were in love - from the signature smell, the beautiful and unique design, and the attentiveness of the entire staff, especially Germaine!! We did not tour a single venue before or after, Park Loft was it, 1 and done!!
Throughout the entire planning process Alecia, Germaine, Chef Thomas and Ryan made me feel not only like I was their only bride, but like I was family! Park Loft is simply one of a kind, with every single detail, from decor design to presentation of cocktails and food, thought through!!
Every single staff member myself, my husband, our families and friends encountered were friendly, approachable, attentive, and quick to assist (from an exploding guest book pen to a broken bustle [twice, whoops]). Coming from a LARGE Italian family, it is uncommon for someone to not have something to complain about … THIS IS A FIRST!!! From our family and friends we have heard that Park Loft does not fall short!!! Incredible atmosphere, staff, drinks, foods, all around 10/10!
If you want an stress-free wedding, where you can enjoy your night dancing and mingling with your loved ones, enjoying your signature cocktails, and truly living in YOUR moment, Park Loft is the place to be! I promise, you will not be disappointed!! We hope to be invited back as wedding guests in the near future so we can experience it all over again!! 5 stars is not enough!!!

My wedding at Park Loft was held on the Friday of October 20th. To say that it was the best day of my life is an understatement. I have been struggling to find the best words to write this review and explaining how my husband and I were blown away!
Park Loft, as a whole, did a truly exceptional job throughout the entirety of our wedding planning process - we had the pleasure of working with Chef Tom, Alicia, Germaine, Mike, and Ryan from the very beginning. They catered to our every need and provided wonderful suggestions for things that we may have been unsure of. We were one of the first couples to book at Park Loft.
We continue to hear from each of our guests about how impeccable the service was – this means a lot to my husband and I as we are both from the hospitality industry and know that high-end, attentive service is sometimes bypassed. We cannot praise the team at Park Loft enough for our PERFECT day – if we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing. Park Loft knows how to throw an incredibly lavish event!

Words can't describe how absolutely lucky my husband and I feel to have found Park Loft, and then experience hosting our wedding here. The process from beginning to end with the staff was unlike anything we could've dreamed. You're constantly told that wedding planning is going to be a headache, or another full-time job, or that you're on your own trying to coordinate it all. We felt so supported from the first day I called Allie, to our first visit while Park Loft was still under construction, to the minute we left at the end of our wedding day. She was our right-hand girl through it all and always available for a quick text, call, and her e-mails to check in on our to-do lists - and she made us feel so seen.
The last few weeks of planning with Allie, Ryan, and Chef Thomas were probably the most enjoyable parts of the wedding planning process in general. Chef Thomas went out of his way to ensure all of our wants, needs, and wildest ideas were met. The food at our wedding got rave reviews and people are still talking about it. The team handled all day-of vendor coordination for us which was one massive thing off our to-do list that day. We knew we were in great hands.
Ryan and Garrett were there anticipating our every need the day of the wedding, from Ryan handing out hand warmers to our bridal party during chilly sunset photos, to holding back a tree so I could walk by for our first-look. They really handled everything we could've needed and helped us remain calm and happy through it all.
The attention to detail that Park Loft puts into its appearance, brand, food, and every single wedding that they help plan does not go unnoticed. My guests were so blown away by the service, the experience, and the venue in general. I would recommend it 1000x over and honestly wish I could hang out there every single day.

My husband and I got married at Park Loft on 10/29/23 and we cannot even explain how PERFECT our experience was.
From the first time walking into the venue (in September of 2022, before their first event) and meeting with Allie, we knew this was exactly where we wanted to get married. Allie and her team were always on top of communication back and forth during the planning process and made it such a flawless experience.
Leading up to our big day, we were able to sit down with our Maitre D, Ryan, and Head Chef, Thomas, to really dive into the menu and day of coordination. I was so confident with our selections and decisions on our menu with the team, especially having a food allergy.
Our drop off the week of was so organized and thorough, I had no doubt that our wedding was going to be perfect.
Once arriving at Park Loft the day of, they were ready to go. Our Bridal Attendant, Charlotte, was UNREAL- knew every detail and went above and beyond for not only myself, but my bridesmaids, my husband, groomsmen and our parents.
Ceremony space on site was perfect. It was intimate, yet comfortably fit 190 of our guests.
During our Cocktail Hour we utilized the Atrium as well as the Mezzanine, but everyone knew exactly where all stations were.
Once guests went into the Dance Hall and we did our grand entrance, first dance(s) and toasts. The communication between our vendors and Park Loft staff was beyond impressive.
We then danced the night away and truly had the time of our lives.
Our guests have been RAVING about the service that was provided by Park Loft and how AMAZING the food was- most said it was the best wedding food they have ever had.
If you are questioning having your wedding at Park Loft, there is no need to have any doubts. This team is truly unbelievable and we are so grateful for them to have made the wedding of our dreams come true!

We got married at Park Loft in September 2023 and it was spectacular! Throughout the entire wedding process, the staff were responsive, creative and easy to work with. From the moment we arrived at the venue on our wedding day, Allie, Ryan, bridal attendants and staff made us feel at home and anticipated any and all needs. The venue is stunning, unique and expansive, combining the beauty of the original dance hall structure with a modern twist. Even with a tropical storm hitting the day of our wedding, the venue is so impeccably designed that we forgot about the torrential rain outdoors. The service was unmatched and our guests are still raving about how attentive the staff were throughout the entire event. And the food -- Chef Thomas and his team curated an incredible menu that was thoroughly enjoyed by all! Huge thank you to the Park Loft team for making our wedding day an absolute dream.
If you're looking for an unmatched experience for your wedding, look no further!

WOW! Let me start by saying that Park Loft is THE PLACE to be a bride. From the moment we went to check out the venue to the day of our wedding, my husband and I were treated like absolute royalty.
The team at Park Loft made the planning leading up to the big day so seamless. Chef Thomas is a pleasure to work with and his menu packages make everything very customizable so that you do not have to go with your typical chicken, fish, beef choices if you prefer something a little different. The bartenders are extremely talented and go above and beyond to make sure your drinks are top notch and impress a crowd. Park Loft also communicated with our vendors (DJs, florals, lighting, cake delivery, etc) so that everyone was set up as efficiently as possible. Even when we added the ceremony at the last minute, Park Loft ensured that our officiant was properly informed of any last minute details.
When it came to the big day, the Park Loft team went above and beyond. They made sure to not let us or our families & friends worry about a single thing. I thought it was impossible for a bride to not break a sweat on your wedding day, but Park Loft anticipated every little detail, they even helped bustle my dress when it came time! The gorgeous Park Loft space is so large that there are endless photo op locations both inside and outside, making it a fantastic place for any photographer/videographer.
Months later, our guests are still full of compliments! They loved the history behind the dance hall and of course, the outstanding food that kept flowing throughout the night. Guests also shared that the staff was so incredibly attentive and professional and no one ever had an empty drink!
My husband and I are so over the moon that we went with Park Loft! A HUGE thank you to owner Alecia and her ✨magical✨ Park Loft team!!

If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! Where do I even begin...Our wedding was on 7/7 at Park Loft and it truly was the most exceptional experience! Weeks later, we, along with our family and friends, are still talking about the amazing service, eye for detail and seamless flow of the entire event, from start to finish. The vision we had curated and shared with staff over the last few months came through and went beyond our highest expectations. The space is absolutely gorgeous and unique in comparison to many other NJ venues, with a sweet touch of history embedded within a modern, romantic space. The bridal suite and groom suite allow for magical photo. opportunities and a place to relax when you need some quiet moments to pause and regroup. The entire Park Loft team was fantastic and treated our guests like they were family! Allie and Ryan - my family and I couldn't be more thankful for the care and attention you showed us as we planned our dream wedding from across the country. You were flexible, thorough, creative and SO enjoyable to work with. The level of coordination you displayed was incredible and we're a bit sad it's over as we really enjoyed our planning time with you both!! Chef Thomas - our guests couldn't stop raving about the taste and presentation of the food. Taking time to talk to our guests and check in with us throughout the event meant so much to us. Many guests said it was the best food/wedding menu they had ever seen! :) Brielle and the bar team - the cocktails were so carefully crafted, like little glasses of art! Our signature drinks (watermelon margarita and rose negroni) were the perfect combination for a humid July afternoon! Lindsey, our bridal attendant, made moving through the day an absolute breeze and took care of the little details, so we could relax and be present with each other and our guests. We can't wait to be guests at future weddings so that we can return to Park Loft and experience it all over again! Feeling full of gratitude and love and wishing the team all the best! - Jordan & Michael
