Loft 84 Wedding and Event Venue

Great people, great operation, and great venue. NOT YOUR NORMAL REVIEW! Our story doesn't include our experience with the venue, but includes the excellent service we received after some external complications caused us not to be able to use it. My fiancee and I were looking for a place to hold our reception. Loft 84 stood out to us for various reasons. You can find that in other reviews... In short, we placed our deposit and were ready to go! Here's where things got complicated. My fiancee's family isn't from the area and it was going to make things difficult to get everyone to Riverside, we had to change our venue! I contacted Shannon Hogben (Event Planner for Loft 84) and told her the situation. Unfortunately our non-refundable deposit was well, non-refundable- which was to be expected. Instead of taking our deposit and saying goodbye Shannon explained that not all hope was lost and we could use the money towards any of their other venues, good for one year. We have decided to apply it to throwing a separate event at the beautiful California Citrus State Historic Park, also in Riverside. CCEM which manages Loft 84 also manages a small amphitheater and reception/party venue there. With all of that said, it was great to be able to put our money to use and not just lose it. The staff at Loft 84 and CCEM are great to work with and we couldn't really ask for much more from them, thank you!!!

It's a nice venue, however after everything was set and done, there was a lot of stuff about the services that was upsetting. It felt like they charge for everything. I didn't find out a lot of stuff wasn't included until after they charged me. For example, the groom suit is a charge, the bridal suit is also a charge, you can get an unlimited bar, however you want champagne? that's an extra charge and you can't bring your own. They also said you have you have servers, and yea they are not included, and yes it's an extra charge for them. cleaning is needed for after the reception, and yes....it's an extra charge for it...It just keeps going. They also charged $150 for puking IN the toilet. I didn't mind the charge but $150 isa bit excessive. Besides, I'm more curious on and how they found out, nobody talked to them besides us, the bride and groom. Also, they don't provide services like wedding coordinator and catering, but they do have a list of "approved" services for you to use....... The wedding coordinator was awesome though, I wish she had her own yelp page for I can give her 5 stars.

Loft has been a wonderful go to for our family. We had our wedding reception here in 2016, but recently I needed a venue for a celebration of life for my uncle. Cindy is always great at what she does and the whole thing was phenomenal! This place is beautiful and our guests loved it as usual!

Gorgeous venue, vintage and elegant. A self service location that allows you to bring your own DJ, florist and liquor. A coordinator is assigned to you which I thought was unnecessary but after two meetings I felt that my event was under control. I walked into a beautifully decorated venue which was beyond my expectations. Thank you, Loft 84 & staff.

Zero stars. The owner is a terror to work with. She changes prices on you and doesn't have things written in the contract to add charges at her whim. Be warned.I should have listened to the other reviews, but because the venue was pretty, I put it aside.The coordinator did little to nothing and was her niece or some family relative.I would not recommend this venue to anyone. If you decide to go with them, know what you're getting yourself into.

I got married here September 21st and everything came out perfect! The entire venue was clean and set up perfectly! My guests loved how the venue looked as well as the mezzanine where the cocktail hour was held. The owners answered all the questions I had in a timely manner. Thank you for making my wedding amazing!

Wedding coordinator sucks! If you want to cry and feel overwhelmed on your wedding day then this would be ideal for you ! Get it together CINDY no point of having such a beautiful venue if your coordinator cant keep her s** together

Had an absolutely epic wedding here. Special thanks to Cindy. She gave my wife and I a great deal and helped us throughout the wedding process. The place is absolutely magical. There were times were my newly wedded wife and I had been stressed out with the wedding process, however Cindy gave us the advise we needed to make better choices / decisions. We truly had the wedding of our dreams. See the video below of our wedding https://vimeo.com/195124274

Beautiful venue! The speak easy was my favorite room. They also have a room with a built in backdrop for photo booths or selfies. There is a lot for parking across the street. Be cautious with kids because there is a large staircase. The railing for the second level is also very short. Don't go to the basement level on the elevator as it won't go back up to the 1st or 2nd level. The basement is a club so they keep it separate. The staff was friendly and helpful.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at loft 84 and had a great experience (disclaimer from previous reviews, we didn't have Cindy as our coordinator and had a different day of coordinator.) My husband and I worked with Sabrina the venue manager, and she was great, attentive, and friendly. She responded and assisted with all my questions that I had. She was able to work with us and things went smooth the day of our wedding along with the help of our vendors. I also loved the venue as it reminded of the similar architecture of the mission inn hotel. Loved the venue !
