Loft 84 Wedding and Event Venue

My daughter got married at this venue, it is Beautiful. The guest loved the vintage look and were treated great by the staff. Shelby and Ashley made everything run smoothly and decorated beautifully. We had open bar during cocktail hour tand they had a great selection of drinks and were abundant. I highly recommend Loft 84.

This venue looks gorgeous!!! but the coordinator Cindy was not helpful at all and all over the place. Not returning calls, texts, emails. On the phone with her she told me her email to me is «in her drafts» and she’s sending it now, never got it. I didn’t even get far enough with her to finalize a date because she was back and forth on what was and wasn’t available. She even changed the price each time we talked? It’s unfortunate because this venue really did look amazing, would not recommend to plan a big event with these kinds of unorganized coordinators though. Went with the Riverside Art museum instead. They were so organized, quick, and friendly. Just as gorgeous of a venue.

Cindy was great! we scheduled a tour with her and she helped us with all questions we had. she gave us a price list to take home and took her time showing us around the place it was a very beautiful venue! Out of all the places we toured around this is the best so far! My parents approved! she also said the elevator should be allowed access soon but hopefully we do not need it overall great vibes!

What a awesome venue, I was so blown away by the looks of the place and the staff, Can’t leave out the AWESOME FOOD. I definitely know where our next party’s are going to be.

Let me start by saying Cindy and Shelby are so amazing :) they went above and beyond in more ways then one, and I couldn’t be any happier with our venue choice. We got married here on Nov 22, 2015 and it was like a dream. Loft 84 along with our catering company and coordinator made our night perfect. The setting of the loft is so beautiful and turned out exactly how we wanted. We also rented out the bridal and grooms room which was great for all my girls along with the guys to get ready in & have some pre wedding fun stress free. I loved, loved, loved my bridal suite. It comes with a full bathroom, 2 huge rooms to get ready and your own kitchen. We were provided with mimosas and water while we got ready along with snacks. We had about 12 women up there getting ready comfortably :). Also the air worked great no swamp coolers so we were nice and cool aside from my nerves kicking in. Lol. Honestly I can’t say enough great things about this venue, it really did exceed every expectation and dream I had for my wedding. Thank you again Cindy and Shelby for making every idea/​dream I had for my wedding come true. You girls are amazing
Here’s a list of my vendors I used .who I loved after all was said and done
Loft 84-​venue
Caters-​bon appetite (Simona was our coordinator she was great)
Wedding officant– pastor Stan doll-​joing hearts (he is the best & so easy to work with)
Flowers– elaborate floral design (Cheryl was so amazing and you can’t beat her prices)
Cakes-​nora reyes (cakes by Nora and bee)

I attended a wedding at this venue last night and was blown away at how adorable and Classic the venue is. I felt like I was in another world for a while. The only negative that I saw was the lack of handicapped accessibility. My father-​in– law is in a wheelchair and luckily is, with the assistance of two adult men, ambulatory enough to get up and down the two flights of stairs.

NOTE: we never actually booked the venue for an event.
Came here because we fell in love with the pictures and thought about having our wedding here.
Made an appointment for a tour and to talk about prices.
I work in Torrance and asked to get off work 2 hours early just to be able to make it down to riverside to see it.
We get there and she shows us the place and pretty much tells my fiancé to text her what she would like for the wedding and what decorations she’d want and never even talked to us about pricing. I was expecting to sit and talk about the packages they offered and to get shown around. All she showed us was the cocktail room. Everything else we saw on our own before she helped us since she was talking with another couple.
My fiancé and I were really disappointed with the service we got and would have totally booked if we would have been cared for a little more.

The Loft provided my niece with the ability to create the wedding of her dreams! Everything about the venue was perfect, from the wooden floors, to the rooms for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, to the red carpet entrance…
As the coordinator of the wedding I was very nervous but Cindy and Shelby walked me through everything and complimented our suggestions along the way.
Their staff was very professional and everything was perfect! The building is so beautiful that it didn’t require much in regards to decorations.
Thank you Loft 84 for making our event special and creating such a warm environment for our guests and family!!!

The 2 stars are for how the place looks. It is absolutely GORGEOUS! I fell in love immediately, and despite the apparent lack of parking, I decided I wanted to get married here. The search was over. The place has amazing character and is unique, which I wanted. Unfortunately, a few weeks later I found myself starting my venue search from square one.
After speaking on the phone with one of the owners, I asked for a written quote and was asked to send an email so they could reply with the quote, which I did. I waited a week and received nothing, but I didn’t want to bother the owners too much. I called and found out they had had a week with no events so took the opportunity to take vacations. That’s fine, everyone deserves a break. I received a verbal quote the next day, which was awesome and affordable, and she was throwing in a few perks for free since we wanted our wedding on a Sunday. Fantastic! I was ecstatic. Once again asked for a written quote, and was once again promised one.
Again, I received nothing. More emails, texts, phone calls, weeks and empty promises later, I never received a written quote. I repeatedly told them that my future mother in law, who was paying for the thing, required the quote before she’d agree on the venue, but I had decided on this place so all I needed was the quote and we could move forward. Nothing. Did they not want to give it to me so they could hike up prices later? I don’t know. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they don’t cheat people like that. However, I decided that if they were being wishy-​washy before we even booked the place, I would have to change my mind. What stressed bride wants to deal with that in the weeks coming up to the actual wedding? I decided I didn’t want to risk it.

The one star is because the venue is very pretty on the inside. Where do I begin:

We were promised the elevator would be working. My 90 year old grandmother had to walk two flights of stairs and missed half of my sisters ceremony!
They promised the air would be working, nope. They provided two swamp coolers. One in the bridal room and one in the main reception hall. It was terrible hot! I’m a hair and makeup artist and I’ve done well over 300 weddings and I’ve never ever been this hot while doing a bride. I ended up putting her hair up because she was sweating so badly. Then the owners said our guests broke the swamp coolers by moving them. Seriously?!
My sister ordered their decoration package but some of the items they promised, were gotten rid of and my sister was told it would cost more if she wanted those decorations. The two female owners are not on the same page, they do not write down anything which in turn they forget what they tell you.
I was told they provided water for the bridal room, nope!
They are rude and very unprofessional I would not recommend this venue to anyone!
Oh and parking is terrible

The venue is gorgeous… But I was very disappointed in the following:
The lack of handicap accessibility is horrible. Grandma missed the entire ceremony because we were told elevator would work when we booked in March, it’s now October
Air conditioning does not work in bridal suite or groomsmen’s suite. Hasn’t worked right since we booked the venue but we were told it would work by October
They refused to work with the event coordinator a week prior to the wedding because she asks to many questions. Wow!
I was specifically told drinks were 6.00 and was even asked what type of alcohol I wanted to serve my guests. They NEVER said they would cost more than that. I specifically asked for wine, but there was none! They did not accept credit cards from our guests but they had no problem taking mine.
Bar closed at 9:30 when event wasn’t due to end till 10:30−11:00
The two owners seemed to never be on the same page and didn’t remember what they had said at the previous meetings we had with them. Things kept changing and it was very frustrating. They were also short fused!
The caterer I hired was great and easy to work with. Great food and prices. Maddilicious Catering
Overall, we had a good event because we had tolerant guests but if I had to do it all over again I would choose a more professional venue and make sure they accommodate us with what was communicated or at least take some expenses off because they didn’t come through with what was told to us.
Running a successful business like a venue takes exceptional customer service and I feel they need some help in this area or get someone in there that does.

The only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars is because it is a beautiful building. Other then that I wouldn’t recommend this venue to anyone ! Where do I even begin. First off. READ YOUR CONTRACT. Because everything they say are LIES. Second of all. The bridal suite the grooms room and the extra room downstairs has no air. So b prepared to sweat your make up off! All the guest including myself were extremely hot! We gave the bar a $ 400 tab which was supposed to be from 5 until it ran out. the bar started at 5:15 (15 minutes late). And was over by 6. It’s hard to believe that 400 dollars worth of beer and wine was gone in 45 minutes. There is no way of proving that $ 400 dollars worth of alcohol was all used up. And i couldn’t believe how uneasy Shelby made my guests and my coordinator feel all night long. She was watching like a hawk. Overall just make sure everything you plan and everything they agree too is in WRITING! They really made it seem like they were so easy going and chill and turns out to b the complete opposite. I would never recommend this place to any friend or family! Unless it was under new ownership.

We scheduled appointment to take a look at the place & get info to see if it was a perfect place for a wedding. The two owners were present & were unable to answer any questions regarding prices, they just said bride & groom suite were included on the $ 3,500 rental, which was a total lie & that we would have to visit web page for more info. When we were about to leave they sat down to talk about prices with another couple, something they did not do with us, it made me feel discriminated. I was very excited for this beautiful place but I left feeling very upset. «Customer service is very important, also being professional»

This venue was actually a gift to me from my bosses and their family. They wanted me to take a look at this place to see what I thought and to see if I liked it. The minute I stepped into this venue I was in love. It is absolutely gorgeous! The wood floors, the big windows, chandeliers, and the historical detail. I knew that day as I was standing in the middle of the ball room that this place was where I wanted to say I do to my husband. So the day finally came and it was wonderful. The day and night of our wedding I was extremely happy, so was my husband and daughter. We just danced the night away together and spent time with all of our guests as any bride and groom should on thier wedding day. There’s not a moment that night that you would look over to the bride and groom and not see us smiling. We are so grateful to have been able to have this gorgeous venue for our wedding. I was soo blessed with all the help I received for my special day and even till this day I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful my wedding was.

What a wonderful venue, breathtaking in it’s beauty! We had a challenge of planning our last minute wedding in under a month when we came across this gem. I was a stressed out bride with very little time. The owners Cindy & Shelby went above and beyond to make this the best day of my life. I couldn’t be happier with how it all worked out! I would highly recommend this location for an event & we are planning to use it again this Fall for our family reunion. Thank you for the great memories on our special day!

The building it’s self was beautiful with a lot of historic details within and you will definitely fall in love as the picture is painted of your special day. However be very cautious of the lack of professionalism of the venue owner, coordinator and staff, who first of all did not even dress for the occasion. I am not sure who held what position but you do not show up to a venue (wedding) in a hot pink sweatsuit and jeans and sweatshirt!
As a guest at a resent wedding, I noticed their where so many things I would not of been happy with, such as no handicap access what so ever and witness guess carrying their loved ones up several flights of stairs in a wheel chair and their where also a few people there that where in crutches or using a cane and the elderly whom all had a very hard time with the stairs. I also notice, the bathrooms where very dirty and unattended, the lady in the hot pink sweatsuit (staff) hanging out at the bar.
As guest, several of us noticed the bar tenders where very inconsistent with their pricing and charging whatever they wanted. No one said anything because none of us wanted to upset the bride on her big day!
I give my overall experience at Loft 84 two starts because although the food was very good, the serving staff was very professional and the building is gorgeous, I would be very cautious about using the them and if you decide to, do your self a favor and save yourself the disappointment and get references along with everything in writing and don’t be afraid to ask them to dress professional on your special day!

This building is gorgeous. When you visit you will ooh and ahh over the drapes and light that fills the upstairs ball room. You will love the wood floors and carefully painted ceiling detail. You will pant at the idea of walking down the stairs as a soon to be bride, your gown trailing behind you…
And then you will wonder how your disabled grandmother or your best friend on crutches ever made it to your wedding.
This building is in code violation because it does not have a working elevator. As a guest at this wedding I was appalled to see two men carrying a wheel chair up at least 30 stairs, so that an elderly woman could watch her granddaughter get married.
Also the two stars goes to the lack of professionalism by the venue owner who attended my friends wedding and reception wearing blue jeans and a sweatshirt. Another employee of the venue was wearing a hot pink Victoria Secret track suit… To a wedding! How do you hand out your business card with any self respect? I was just shocked.
Don’t get me wrong– the location is beautiful– but the lack of professionalism and outright violations of the American Disabilities Act, atrocious.
