Amazing Venue!!! The staff was so great to work with and so accommodating! The venue is so unique and beautiful! The food was also so good and there is so much food included. Highly recommend!
We immediately fell in love with The Loft when we came across it online during our venue search and knew it was where we were going to be married. We were looking for a venue that wasn’t a typical catering hall and had a bit of edge to it that spoke well to our personalities and style. The one thing that really won us over was the amount of photo opps that were on site. It made our timeline so simple because we were able to do our first look, all of our photos, ceremony and reception at the same location. The planning process with our sales rep was very straightforward and went smoothly from start to finish. I always felt like I was being taken care of and in good hands. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and I can’t thank the staff enough for their hard work. I would love to give an extra special shoutout to our maitre d, Tricia and my bridal attendant, J (request her if you are getting married here!). Tricia was very organized and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the whole day and kept us on time. J was an absolute doll and made sure I had a drink in my hand at all times, helped me with dress malfunctions and was just making sure we were having the best time. I got lots of compliments on the food, the venue itself and the waitstaff after the wedding. If you are an offbeat bride and want something different, I highly recommend The Loft!
The Loft by Bridgeview was the only venue I looked for my wedding on 8/6/22, It doesn't look like your typical Long Island reception venue which is what I liked most about it. The food was incredible and the staff was super accommodating to work with.
We love The Loft! The venue is absolutely beautiful, all of our guests were talking about how amazing it was. The food was great and the staff were awesome! Everyone was super friendly and professional and our day went perfectly because of them. Working with Sam was amazing as well- she was always available to answer any and every question we had. We are so thankful to everyone at The Loft for making our wedding day so special!
I can't even explain how incredible our wedding was on 12/18. Not only did the room look absolutely STUNNING but the food, staff and service were top notch. Jenn was an absolute pleasure to work with. They exceeded every expectation I had!
Everything about The Loft was absolutely perfect! Sam & Eric were so helpful in every step of the planning process, a true pleasure to work with. The food was delicious and the day of staff made sure everything was seamless. Definitely would book another event here in the future!
The place was perfect and the staff were incredible.
We just had our wedding here on 6/18/21 after postponing it twice through the pandemic. Everything was amazing! We honestly couldn’t have been happier with the loft and with Sam who was our sales coordinator. She answered every question we had was always available and helped navigate us through everything through the multiple postponements. They never gave us a single issue anytime we wanted to keep pushing the wedding date and continued to give our day their all! The day of was perfect, perfect weather and Trish and Jaylene our Matre D and Bridal attendants were beyond amazing. Even my family commented how wonderful and on top of everything they were! If we could give six stars we honestly would, after hearing so many horror stories from other venues handling pandemic weddings i could not recommend the loft enough to everyone for how well they took care of us!
I get emotional even writing this review...bc words can’t convey our gratitude for The Loft by Bridgeview. Our dream wedding finally happened and Eric and the team made sure every detail was perfect. The food was outstanding, the service was fantastic, the venue looked stunning and the staff was just the best. My bridal attendant, Isabella, was very sweet and helpful-she was with me every step of the way and helped ease my mind. Everyone was great esp Eric. He’s an asset to both Bridgeview and The Loft. During the pandemic, Eric kept me updated, ALWAYS answered my texts and calls and remained super positive throughout the whole pandemic. If it wasn’t for Eric, I don’t know how Matt and I would have dealt with this whole postponed wedding ordeal. He helped us through the tough times and was genuinely excited for us when restrictions eased. Eric did a lot of nice things for us to give us the best wedding possible and it’s something that we will never forget. Not only did we love our venue but so did our guests. People cannot get over how great it was. Everyone was pampered and happy! The Loft is a whole vibe!!!! Industrial chic on the water with chandeliers to die for...whats not to love = )
everyone at the loft was absolutely amazing. i was originally supposed to get married during quarantine and throughout the whole postponement process the loft handlers everything so perfect that it was completely stress free. eric especially made postponing so much easier and helped us so much every step of the way. the day of my wedding was everything i could dream and more! the loft couldn’t have made my day any better and i would recommend it to everyone to get married here!!
The Loft was the first venue we visited & immediately fell in love with. We booked with Samantha who was always available to answer any & all questions. The maître-d and bridal attendant were rock stars. They went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The food was delicious & the room was spacious. We are so happy with our experience at The Loft!
Our wedding was amazing!! It was so easy to get in touch with Samantha. She really made sure everything was perfect and we had everything we needed. They were very helpful and resourceful and the food was amazing. I couldn’t have picked a better place!
We had our wedding at the Loft this October and everything was just perfect!! Sam was so helpful through all of the planning and accommodating to all of our needs. The food was great and we have received so many compliments on the event!!
The Loft was the perfect venue for our wedding (which was October 13, 2019). We fell in love with the look of this venue which is industrial, a little rustic, and very romantic and elegant at the same time! We worked with Jennifer who was fantastic. She was responsive, so sweet, and you can tell she cares about all of her client’s events as though they were her own! I could not be happier with our decision, the venue is stunning, and the event staff was great. Our Maitre D and Bridal Attendant were so helpful and worked so hard to make the day run smoothly. I love the level of customization they offer with the menu, there were plenty of vegetarian options, and all of the food was so good!
When looking for wedding venues I was unimpressed by most. Just felt like I was looking at halls that you just add flowers and done. Not to mention we were having a smaller wedding and everywhere had a very high minimum. When my husband and I walked into the Loft, we knew right away that’s where we wanted to get married. The Loft’s unique rustic fairytale look is absolutely beautiful. There are so many beautiful areas within the loft and outside that there really is no need to go somewhere else to take pictures. Also the minimum was 100 people! Perfect. During the planning process Samantha was incredible. She was so helpful and quick to respond to any emails. The day of, our Maitre D’ Alejandro was amazing. Things do not always go as planned on your wedding day and Alejandro took all the stress off of me and made sure everything was perfect. To top it off. The food is fantastic! My family has been raving about it. Everything from cocktail hour, dinners and your cake which comes from sweet pea bakery in Lynbrook were delicious! If there was one part of our wedding that was absolutely stress free and perfect it was the Loft! I would recommend the Loft over and over again!
I absolutely LOVE the loft. I fell in love with it the moment I walked in. We had 207 people at our wedding, one of the biggest weddings that has been hosted there. However, everything went soo smoothly- I couldn’t even tell we were packed in. There was more than enough food for our buffet station-style dinner, a large dance floor that held a 7 piece band, and 15 tables distributed between both rooms.
Our wedding was August 2nd at The Loft. The venue literally took my breath away from the very first second that we viewed it. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as you walk in you are surrounded by huge barn doors, beautiful chandeliers, and a ton of wooden and industrial elements! For anyone who wants a barn wedding (without the barn lol), this is your venue! The place was beautiful, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic! I am telling you - you will NOT be disappointed. Two months after our wedding, guests are still telling us that we need to find another reason to throw another party there! Check it out =)
The entire process from start to finish with the Loft was absolutely seamless making it such a smooth process for my husband and I andour busy schedules. We worked with Jenn directly who was in constant communication the entire time, always giving suggestions to make sure we were doing what was best for our vision. The food was amazing, our guests had an absolute blast and keep praising our party. Our pictures were so good thanks to Jenn and her team for really executing our vision perfectly while working with all of the other vendors. Everything Jenn offered us had an alternative solution and they were compeltely flexible from the ceremony based on weather to the specifics on the menu. We would chose this place 100000x over again :)
Amazing venue with amazing staff!! We were married here in July 2019. When first searching for a venue, we were looking for a place that was unique, with modern and rustic elements throughout. The Loft delivered perfectly.
We cannot say enough about the wonderful staff! Throughout the planning process, we worked with Samantha. She was always organized, friendly, and helpful. Since we were coming from out of state, she did everything to accommodate our limited schedules. Samantha answered all of our questions promptly and ensured that everything we wanted for the day happened.
Our wedding day went exactly how we imagined. Without the help of the terrific staff members, this would not have been possible. Each one was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. They ensured that everything went smoothly the whole day and night. Highly recommend the Loft as a perfect wedding venue!
I can not recommend The Loft enough. If you want to avoid the typical Long Island wedding factory location, but still work with people who have years or experience and amazing food - this is your place. Samantha was so easy to work with and I loved her no nonsense and professional personality. I felt like I could ask her opinion and always get an honest answer. My bridal attendant and maitreed literally made my wedding night - I had to locate some extra cash to put in their tip amount because they were just so amazing!! The food was to die for, the location was beautifully and clean, people couldn’t stop talking about it. The bridal suite is an amazing added benefit and they do not trick you with additional costs along the way. Even tips for most staff is included in your price. Highly highly recommend.
We had our wedding in March 2019 at The Loft. We can't recommend them enough! First off, the venue is unique and beautiful. It is modern and offered the rustic, yet classic look we were looking for that was hard for us to find at some of the more traditional wedding venues on Long Island. There were countless places for us to take our pictures that offered the perfect backdrop for our day.
We worked with Sam during our planning and she was organized, friendly, and thorough in making sure our planning and day of went smoothly. She executed exactly what we wanted and was very helpful along the way. We met with her many times and she was always available to us via email, phone, or in person when we needed.
The day of went exactly how we imagined and wanted. We had a Friday night wedding with food stations with our ceremony on site. The ceremony was beyond beautiful - after posting pictures of the ceremony on social media, I had so many people ask me where my venue was! The cocktail hour room was perfect for our 125 guests and even though it was March, the outdoor areas were great for guests to utilize. The staff seamlessly transitioned our guests to the reception room after cocktail and the room was stunning. My best friend came into the empty room before guests were greeted in and she said "This belongs in a magazine!" and it truly did.
The venue used to be a club so the sound system is awesome - we actually saved money on our DJ because he was able to hook into the sound system at The Loft and not bring all his own equipment. The sound and lighting they have was amazing and created the perfect vibe for the ceremony, reception, and after party (which we had at the venue). We danced all night!
Beyond the venue, we can't stay enough about the staff. They made sure that everything ran smoothly and on time and were super helpful throughout the entire day and night, without being intrusive. We did the food stations, which turned out awesome. The food was excellent and people loved the live station feel which provided more than a traditional buffet without us having to do a sit down dinner, which didn't match our vibe.
The Loft shares the staff, chef, and venue with Bridgeview Yacht Club-if you're looking for more reviews, I highly recommend going to that page also to see how great they are.
We love The Loft and wish we could do that day all over again! Thank you, Sam and staff!
From the very beginning we fell in love with the space and decided immediately we would have our wedding here. Working with Jenn was super easy and fun. The day of Bridal attendant and Maitre’d were very helpful and professional. Everything ran smoothly and we couldn’t be happier. The food was great and we keep getting compliments on the fun food selections!
End of November Wedding ~ From the very initial planning stages, the Loft, specifically Samantha did an excellent job keeping my wife and I on track. Samantha offered various suggestions after our initial concept meeting, which helped us show our personality the day of. She was always responsive to our emails and very polite & professional. Our guests complimented the decor and food, and how well the service was from the waiters. Our bridal attendant and maitre'd made sure we and our family had everything we needed prior to our ceremony up. They even helped to package all of our fragile items. In my opinion, if you are looking for a venue with a bit of rustic charm with modern amenities, this may be the spot for you. The loft definitely has character.
Our wedding on October 12, 2018 was absolutely perfect, thanks to The Loft! We worked with Samantha, who was so easy going and answered every question we had, made suggestions without being pushy, and gave great recommendations when we had no idea what to do.
Our maitre' d, Trish, was equally awesome. She went over everything with us, was constantly in communication with our vendors, and really ensured that the day went smoothly. I did not have to worry about ANYTHING the day of, and really felt like we were in great hands that day.
The food was AMAZING, our guests loved it! Everyone raved about the cocktail hour, especially the Coney Island station that we chose (kids loved it!). The decor is simple but beautiful. We chose not to overwhelm the venue with decorations, since we fell in love with it for the exposed brick and wood beams.
10/10 would recommend to everybody!
We fell in love with this venue the moment we first visited. I am still getting compliments on this beautiful space and the food. We had the privilege of working with Jenn. She made everything feel so easy and I was confident from the start that I was going to have an amazing wedding. The maitre'd and bridal attendant were fantastic, helped us through the whole day and made everything flow perfectly. I couldn't be happier and am so thankful that we had our wedding here.
Went to a wedding 8/12/18. The service was sub-par. They seemed unprepared when guests arrived. The air-conditioner was broken, so that was definitely not good on a hot, humid, summer day. The food was so-so, and the seafood was terrible; rubbery calamari, sandy mussels. All in all, I would not recommend this place.
Oh what a night. Our wedding was on August 3, 2018 at The Loft. It was an amazing night. The staff was wonderful. We worked with Jenn who worked with us from start to finish offering suggestions that helped to make our wedding perfect. The food was great. People have been telling us it was great. Trish, our maitre'd did a great job setting up all our wedding trimmings putting things in places that really highlighted them. She made sure everything ran well. I cannot say enough about the staff and the event. Do not hesitate to book your event here. I've been to many weddings and this was truly at the top. Many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I have to agree with them. Thank you to the Loft and your staff.
Jenn Savine @ the Loft has an easy going, friendly demeanor and always seemed as excited about our wedding, which was on 7-21-18, as she is about her own. From day 1, Jenn laid out all of our options, made recommendations without being pushy, and was always available by phone, email or in person to help us decide on our vision and make it happen. When our maitre d, Trish, took over on the day of the event, it was seamless. She knew exactly what our wedding was intended to be like, and managed the time perfectly. She was super communicative with the DJ, photographer, family, etc, and every time we turned around she was right there taking care of us. From a bustle snafu to ensuring we got to eat the pigs in blankets and that guests took the favors - every detail was accounted for by Trish and her staff. The Loft is a beautiful venue, but I would recommend it just as wholeheartedly because of the people who work there and how the venue is run. We are beyond thrilled with The Loft team! Elizabeth & Andrew
The Loft was the perfect blend of Brooklyn hip and affordable. We were looking for something urban-rustic for a long time, but couldn't find the right feel for the right price. When we walked into The Loft, we knew we had found the place. Jenn and The Loft staff were super helpful and accommodating. Everything was very relaxed, which is what we wanted. They do everything buffet/station style, so if you wanted a seated, formal dinner you won't get that here. BUT, the food was amazing and we got all the leftovers to take home! Our friends and family raved about the meals. The space is awesome and open. The outdoor areas are really cute too! The bridal suite upstairs is spacious and comfortable. We left our stuff there all night, no problem. The Loft has everything you could need - tables, chairs, linens, flateware, open bar, kitchen - they do the whole thing! Which was awesome for us because because we live in San Francisco and were planning everything from across the country. I would definitely recommend The Loft to anyone looking for a Brooklyn-esque venue with out-of-city prices and everything done in house, and not in the standard catering hall style. It made for the perfect night for us. :)
Samantha was fantastic from start to finish. We planned our wedding in 6 months & Samantha was so helpful every step of the way. The staff set everything up for us PERFECT. The new outside deck is great! My guests were raving about the food and venue. Samantha is very responsive and personable! I highly recommend the loft! I’m so happy with this venue, the look of it, their service, the food, accommodations, the bridal sweet was perfect. The bridal attended and mater’d were very attentive and made sure that we stuck to our timeline and had everything we needed. For most of our guests, we partied in this room and young adults and to see the renovation is so different everyone could not believe it! Amazing experience. I had one venue in mind when I got Engaged and this was the only one we looked at. SOLD
We got married on May 11, 2018. 5 days later and people are still commenting about how great the Loft was, the food, cake, outdoor ceremony, etc… We received so many compliments and we could not be happier with the outcome. We went for a food tasting but I’ll say the food at the actual wedding turned out way better than we expected. I want to give a special thanks to Jenn S. our event planner. She was beyond professional, accommodating with appointments, gave helpful suggestions and she also helped to calm my nerves! Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end b/c of her. I don’t know how she does it! Another thanks to our Maitre D. - Trish and our Bridal Attendant Veronica. They helped to make sure everything ran smoothly and were by my side that day to help me with every request. Originally I wanted a barn wedding, but the distance (too far) of the barns was a deal breaker. The Loft by Bridgeview is the closest thing in the local area with the contemporary, rustic, romantic feel I was looking for. The chandeliers are BEAUTIFUL!! The outdoor ceremony overlooking the water/sunset was a crowd pleaser. If you’re looking for a rustic space, definitely check out the Loft. They will go above and beyond to cater to you! And if you book, you will be glad you did :)
My husband and I got married on April 13th at the Loft By Bridgeview. We met with Samantha, our event planner, back in June and fell in love the very first moment we met her and saw the beauty behind the Loft. Samantha made everything so easy for us - sharing the space with us, helpful decorative ideas, other vendors, choosing our menu... EVERYTHING! The Loft provides you with a romantic rustic setting, beautiful barn doors, indoor and outdoor setting right on the water! As a bride, you stress every little detail to make your wedding day everything you dreamed of but choosing the Loft took away a lot of our worries! Samantha calmed my nerves (and my father’s LOL!) and led us into AMAZING hands the day of with Tricia as our Maitre D and Veronica as our bridal attendant. They both welcomed us off the party bus - helping our wedding party with all of their belongings guiding us to the bridal suite to get ready for more pictures before cocktail hour. The Bridal Attendant came prepared with hair products that were needed ASAP. She patiently helped me non-stop with my bustle since we all know they can get tricky! She never left my side! It was amazing!! Anything we needed they were both there. Food was non-stop, alcohol was non-stop. All of our guests have not stopped raving about the service and food!! They truly helped make our day a dream come true! Not only does the space behind the Loft provide such beauty but the team of employees truly top it off! I am still drooling over all of the food selected, the heavy flow of alcohol allowing our guests to have no fear of that dance floor and the amazing employees! You will not be disappointed with ANYTHING. The Loft knows how to make your day special and keep everyone happy! Thank you!!! Can’t wait to book another event with you all!
Beyond disappointed in what happened. Jenn was our event planner and point of contact for the past 3 weeks. I never thought such chaos could even possibly go on from an establishment that has been open 20 yrs. I was ready to put my deposit down since I loved the loft itself, but Jenn directly ruined my relationship with the Bridgeview yacht club. It is not even worth me writing out the multiple problems and disasters. Maybe it was just her; but stay away. Nobody should have to go through what we did.
My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Loft by Bridgeview this past weekend and we cannot say enough good things about this place! We were looking for a venue that was in the $100/pp range, beautiful, had delicious food and was willing to host a reception for about 90 people. With most venues requiring minimums of 100-150 people and costing $150/pp, we were struggling to find one that we loved and could afford. However, everything changed when I came across The Loft on The Knot. I knew from when I first saw the pictures that we would love the space, but we fell in love with it when we went to see it in person and everything else just fell into place (including our wedding date)! Throughout our planning process, we worked with the banquet manager, Samantha, who is incredibly sweet, thorough and made everything SO easy for us. On the day of our wedding, we worked with Tricia as our Maitre D and Veronica as our bridal attendant - both of them were amazing and incredibly efficient. Our guests keep raving about how beautiful and rustic our venue was and about how delicious the food was! Our only criticism of our reception is that the music was incredibly loud. Since The Loft used to be a night club, the volume of the speakers definitely gave it that club type feel, just be sure to tell your DJ ahead of time and I’m sure they’ll be able to regulate the volume. Overall, we loved The Loft! If you’re looking for an affordable and beautiful venue, book The Loft, you won’t be disappointed!
