This is your sign to book at Record Box Loft! The price includes a day-of coordinator, and Hannah was just amazing to work with. The staff was great about answering questions in a ...timely manner and made our wedding day go by seamlessly and with zero frustrations! Record Box Loft provided staff to flip the ceremony space to the reception space and guide guests around the venue. Cocktail hour takes place on the second floor while the staff flipped the room on the third floor. The elevator only grants access to the 1st and 3rd floors because part of the second floor is an office space that is rented out by local business people. While the bar was open on the second floor, Record Box Loft staff ensured that guests who could not use the stairs had a place to sit and went to get them drinks/food so that they did not feel left out.
Chairs and tables + setup and teardown are included with the cost of the venue (which isn’t standard at all venues for some reason?). The tables do not require linens, but they do offer rentals for linens if that is something that you are interested in. Plus there is a selection of some decorations that they have to use (at no extra cost!). One thing to keep in mind is that, if you would like to have an outdoor ceremony (there is a space for that), you will need to rent chairs for the ceremony, as the chairs from Record Box Loft cannot go outside. Additionally, they have a disco ball for your dance floor and a photo booth in house that can both be added for an extra fee. Both the disco ball and photo booth were a huge hit at our wedding. They do charge a service fee for making payments online, but you can bypass it by writing a check.
Venue access began at 12:00 (you can get in earlier for an extra fee), and we were able to hold our rehearsal the day before our wedding (subject to availability–books cut off 3 months out from the date). Hannah ran our rehearsal smoothly, and we were able to arrange to bring in decor the day before our wedding since they were not hosting an event the day before, which was a huge weight off of our shoulders. Staff does the decorating + tear down; your group is responsible for taking decorations to and from your car.
Due to the size of the kitchen, Record Box Loft requires the use of one of four or five caterers, but the company we worked with (Millenium Catering) was wonderful, and we did get a lot of compliments on food. Record Box Loft also has an exclusive bar service, PUNCH. They were also amazing and kept the drinks flowing all night long! For all other vendors, you can choose whoever you’d like, but they do have some recommended vendors that they have worked with before if you need help being pointed in the right direction.
One of our favorite things about Record Box Loft was their “Walkthrough Wednesdays.” On the third Wednesday of each month, from 3-7pm, they have an open door to any couple that has a wedding booked with them in order to come check out the space and try out decor to see how it will look on the day of the wedding. This was incredibly helpful as we were able to get a feel for how our space would look before the wedding took place. Additionally, Record Box Loft offers seasonal and non-Saturday discounts. We were able to get a discount on our Saturday wedding because we got married in February.
Overall, we could not recommend this venue enough. The staff (especially Hannah) worked hard to make the day stress free and to make our vision come to life.
