The Loft At 132

t count ended up being around 150 people and that size group easily fit into the space. We had our ceremony on the rooftop and were originally also going to host the cocktail hour up there as well, but it ended up being too hot so we had the cocktail hour and reception on the main floor. But as the night went on and the weather cooled down a bit, our guests absolutely loved going up to the roof to enjoy the views and space. By far one of the best parts about working with The Loft was the day of coordinator who works for the venue, Rachel. Throughout the planning process, Rachel was on top of everything--coordinating with vendors, answering our million questions, and helping to ensure our special day went as smoothly as possible. Would definitely recommend working with The Loft at 132 for your wedding day!

al rooftop at the initial tour. We also had an immediate sense from first seeing the venue and meeting Michelle that she and Rachel cared about us, our vision, and doing everything in their power to accommodate our dream wedding. Communication throughout the whole process was great. We felt that we were able to talk/ask questions whenever. When it came to the day of, Rachel was an absolute blessing in coordinating rehearsal/wedding day, especially with the last minute switch to an inside ceremony because of the lovely Wisconsin April snow :) We so appreciate the professionalism, dependability, and positivity that everyone at the Loft offered us. We plan to come back again for drinks on the rooftop. We cannot recommend Michelle and her beautiful space enough to anyone!

a later wedding and less prep time. We had phenomenal vendors who all played a huge part in the success of the day. *There is a $5k bar minimum but you will spend closer to ~$10k if you have rail liquor included at all. *Communication is delayed with the owner via e-mail. *You are able to leave decor/belongings in the bridal suite the night before the wedding. If we had known that, we would’ve saved some of our vendors time the next day. *The photos from our day are stunning and the venue itself is incredible as it feels like 2-in-1. The bar stopped serving our guests 90 minutes early during the reception because of a “wet floor” and this is when things began to escalate. There was no warning given to our us or our guests and when my mother offered to mop it up, Bill mimicked her. Instead of cleaning up the floor, they instead stopped serving every single person in attendance. If the management felt the dance floor was too wet, they should have stopped the music, mopped the floor, and asked guests to no longer bring drinks on the floor. Our guests would have cooperated and the venue would have sold another 90 minutes of drinks (that we were contracted for and we still paid for). Bill called our guests “animals” and “savages” which multiple guests told us the following day. Additionally, Bill told my husband to his face that our friends/family were “an animal show”. The owner chose to decline that in the comments of other reviews. If certain people were out of line, we believe they should’ve addressed them individually and/or confronted us. My husband was trying to defuse the situation and stop Bill from arguing with our guests from behind the bar, but he continued to engage with them. I believe both parties are wrong for arguing about the bar closing, however the unprofessionalism of the owner to continue to engage with guests stirred the pot further. We chose to have our last dance and leave early since ALL of our guests were unable to be served. Our vendors assisted us with this, but confirmed they had never come across such a bizarre situation before. We were unaware that someone dropped a chair off the roof (which we agree is completely unacceptable), however that guest was not asked to leave and we were not notified. This also had nothing to do with the bar being closed down which is portrayed to be one of the reasons it was in the comments. They were unaware of this occurrence until the following morning. I know another couple who got married here in 2022 as well and their bar service was also shut down early and they were charged $1500 to clean the “wet floor”. We paid our full bar bill even after asking them to update it based on guest count and the 1.5 hours that were not fulfilled, however they did not. We’re extremely disappointed with how our evening ended and would not recommend this venue to anyone (especially if there’s any chance your guests may spill as they dance). If you do choose this venue, review what happens if the floor does get wet in advance. We strongly support women-owned businesses and believe this situation has nothing to do with that.
