About This Vendor

An urban industrial loft space in Battle Creek

Record Box Loft is a wedding venue located on the riverfront in downtown Battle Creek. Our original hardwood floors, exposed brick and open floorpan flooded with natural light gives our space an urban, industrial vibe that’s perfect for a party for up to 250 guests. After a complete restoration of this historic building, built in 1902, we rebranded as Record Box Loft to pay homage to its roots. Once known as the Record Printing and Box Company, cereal boxes were printed here for many years in the cereal capital of the world. Many onsite amenities are provided including onsite preparation rooms, tables, industrial chairs, and an onsite catering kitchen and bar area for vendor's use. From the team behind The Cheney Place, Leona Road, PUNCH Bar Catering and Fringe Events, we have deep experience in West Michigan’s wedding industry. We are proud to also include the the following services for our wedding clients: 1) Design: We will meet with you to develop a custom floor plan for your event and would also be happy to schedule a meeting to assist with linen and tablescape options, 2) Event Setup: Setup tables and chairs and assist with placing and hanging your personal decor, 3) Tear it Down: When your party is over, our staff will assist with taking down and packaging all decor, 4) Month and Day of Coordination: We’ll help plan your full timeline and coordinate the details with your vendors the week of your event. Our team will manage your event including ceremony, entrance, toasts and sendoff and will work closely with your vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly. We are located in southwest Michigan, approximately halfway between Chicago and Detroit and conveniently close to our surrounding communities including Kalamazoo, Jackson, Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Everything I could have hoped for and more! I fell in love with the Record Box Loft in December 2019, as they were first opening and accepting reservations. I loved the building and the story behind the couple who made it their mission to renov...

ate it and bring it back to life. We signed our contract in January of 2020 for a wedding in May of 2021. Obviously, COVID happened and in January 2021 we made the decision to push our wedding to 2022. They were so understanding during the process and were actually holding all available dates for 2022 in case 2021 couples needed to reschedule, which I feel says a lot about their character and commitment to their customers. We were able to reschedule to May of 2022 and despite all of the chaos of COVID, the Record Box was flexible and kept a stressed bride calm when things were falling apart. Then, life happened again and despite a change in ownership, the Record Box again made it a seamless transition. They did a great job making sure that everything we had originally planned would still be able to happen. The new-to-us management introduced themselves and set up a time to meet with us to go over our plans and contract, and were very accommodating. Our actual wedding was perfect. We got so many compliments on the venue and with the natural beauty of the space, we didn't have to spend much on decorations. Our first dance took place during "golden hour" and our pictures turned out amazing. Everything was well worth the wait. I am SO happy with our experience from start to finish, and I am absolutely recommending this venue to all of my friends for their future weddings.

fixtures, the list goes on and on! The space is just incredibly stunning and functional. The RBL staff (especially Hannah and Abbey) are phenomenal. Communication leading up to our big day was fast and so easy. They were on top of every little detail and went above and beyond to make sure they tailored to our specific vision. On our wedding day, the staff served as day-of-coordinators and really made our whole day run sooooo smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of staff to work with— they were FUN, professional, quick, and so prepared. By the end of our wedding, Abbey and Hannah became so much more than staff, but rather more like our friends. Having our wedding here was the best decision we made!!! 🤍

d it was perfect. There were places for people to hang coats, staff present at different doors to help with those needing to use the elevator and the river nearby provided a fantastic backdrop for some chilly outdoor pictures. The day of, we had family members drop off decorations with a PDF explaining how we wanted things and the team did the rest! It was such a relief arriving later to find everything set up just how we wanted it. Definitely recommending this venue to anyone and everyone!

een for transition. Our guest count was ~150, and everyone fit very comfortably. PROS: -The space doesn't need much decor - it is classic and elegant and speaks for itself. -The loft has windows all around the perimeter, allowing for lots of natural light which is very helpful in photos. -Booking the venue comes with day-of coordination service, which was very helpful. The day-of coordinators took care of the logistics of the day, all the way from our arrival/ceremony/reception time to communicating timing with the caterers, bartenders, and photographer. -Can bring own bartender and alcohol - saves lots of money. -Can bring own caterer - also saves lots of money. -Chairs/tables included (unless you do an outside ceremony, then chairs have to be rented). -Bridal suite and grooms suite are both very pretty and photograph well - this wasn't the case for most venues we toured! -Lots of beautiful outdoor space/scenery for photos. CONS: -Location. Battle Creek isn't the most ideal location, though it has potential. Stick with the hotels recommended by the venue - there are definitely some rougher ones in the area that our guests booked unknowingly. They ended up switching to different hotels because they felt unsafe. Overall, I highly recommend Record Box for their exceptional service, beautiful venue, and fairness of price.

It’s evident that they put a lot of thought into making it a great place to host gatherings; the bar and kitchen had everything needed for out vendors to provide their services, there were well decorated prep rooms for the bridal party, a gathering area to get away downstairs, and nice bathrooms for guests (LOL).
