Park Loft

very single detail of this venue is meticulously designed to be beautiful. We loved the eye-catching two-floor reception space, the peaceful outdoor gardens, the clean and elegant ceremony space, etc. It is the perfect venue if you are looking for rustic, but want something more modern than a barn setting. It was the perfect combination of rustic, historic, elegant, modern, and traditional. Is this possible? With Park Loft, YES. Next, the organization, communication, and preparation from the staff was next-level. Allie and her team were there to answer every email and question I had. They were professional and responsive. They made sure I had all the paperwork I needed in advance, emailed us friendly reminders, and walked us through everything we needed to do so that we didn't get overwhelmed. After our final details meeting, we felt like we were in such good hands. These people leave NOTHING to chance, yet adapt to whatever you need. Therefore, they are the perfect venue if you are a Type A person OR a Type B person. One of my vendors said he has never worked with such an organized venue before. Next up, the service on the night of our wedding was absolutely wonderful. So many guests came up and told us that they have never received such attention at a wedding before! Park Loft prides itself on table side service and it elevated our wedding to the next level. The waiters, bartenders, security personnel, attendants, etc. all were so professional and seemed to genuinely love working there! As for me and my bridal party, our Maitre D Lindsay G., my main attendant Emily, and all the others took care of EVERYTHING. Once I walked through those doors, I did not have to worry about a thing. I felt like a princess being doted on. Need a chair? They will pull one up. Need band aids for the blisters from your heels? They will find them. Need earplugs at the end of the night? There they are! Need a rag to wipe your sweat because it's 90 degrees? Right away, sir! Need help bustling your dress? Four girls shuffle you off to help on a moment's notice. (These are all true needs we had) I am overcome with gratitude with how well my guests, my husband, and I were taken care of. Finally, the food! Our number one goal for our wedding was to have good food for our guests, and Park Loft did not disappoint. We had 3 stations - Asian, Italian, and Greek. Delish and so much better than your average cheese-and-crackers table. Every one of the 10 passed hors d'oeuvres was better than the last. Plus, again, each one was unique, like lobster quesadillas, the mini Cuban sandwiches, or chicken and waffles. One guest commented, "I have never been to a wedding where the passed hors d'oeuvres were such big portions!" Every single one of the 4 entrees were fantastic, and we know because we arrived at our sweetheart table to find portions of them ALL. The chef came around afterwards and asked all the tables how they liked their food, which was just another thing that makes Park Loft a step above the rest. They say you get what you pay for, and I have found this to be true for Park Loft. You will not regret a single penny, trust me. You will make one of the best decisions by choosing Park Loft. I wish we could get married all over again to experience this wonderful venue!

uestions/issues I had were addressed asap. Our day was so special and everything we wished for! Highly recommend having your wedding here!

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!

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) 8.30.2024 :)

4 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.

nt. 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!!

ding 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.

ke 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!

ite 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!

aff 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.

ent 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!

ith 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
