We recently hosted our son’s first birthday party at The Loft, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience! From the moment we booked, Te’Niijah was incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure our celebration was perfect.
The Loft itself is beautiful, clean, and versatile — it felt warm and inviting while still being spacious enough for all our guests to mingle comfortably. The setup process was seamless, and the team made it so easy for us to bring in our own décor and catering. Every detail was taken care of, from making sure the tables and chairs were arranged exactly as we wanted to checking in throughout the event to ensure everything was running smoothly.
Our guests raved about the venue, and many commented on how it was one of the nicest places they’ve attended a party. As parents, we felt so supported and at ease, which let us truly enjoy the day with our family and friends.
If you’re looking for an event space that combines exceptional service with a gorgeous, functional setting, The Loft is it! We’re already thinking about when we can host our next celebration here.
We recently hosted my wife’s art show at The Loft with Art is Bond and had an amazing experience. The space was clean, stylish, and had the perfect vibe for the event. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff was super helpful and easy to work with. Our guests loved it, and it really made the night feel special. Highly recommend The Loft for anyone hosting an event — definitely a spot we’d use again.
I had the pleasure of hosting an event at The Loft, and I wanted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. The venue itself is truly stunning; the architecture is breathtaking, and the overall aesthetic is both elegant and inviting. Beyond the beautiful space, however, what truly sets The Loft apart is its exceptional staff. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the event, every member of the team was incredibly professional, friendly, and accommodating. Their attentiveness to detail, proactive problem-solving, and genuine warmth ensured a seamless and stress-free experience for both me and my guests. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Loft to anyone seeking a beautiful and flawlessly managed venue for their next event. It's clear that they are dedicated to providing a truly exceptional experience from start to finish.
Stylish and versatile space! I absolutely loved the grand entryway, exposed brick, high ceilings, and open layout. The kitchen prep areas made it wasy to being our own food. The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating by helping with everything from table placement to décor and more. The customer service was truly five-star, before, during, and after the event. This venue is perfect for Sweet 16s, graduations, milestone birthdays, baby and bridal showers. I’ve seen it transformed for all kinds of themes and have attended several events here. My own event was more corporate, and they made that work as well. You really can’t go wrong with this space.
Very roomy event space to decorate as you please. Owner/manager is cordial and helpful. You will be pleased with hosting your party at the Loft.
Beautiful space! We held our company's annual meeting here last year, and the space was set up perfectly. The owner is lovely and has an excellent team. Highly recommend!
I had my 30th birthday party here and from start to finish Te’Niijah was super helpful!! She was so nice it felt like I’ve known her forever and she and her staff really helped everything go smoothly the day of the party which I’m so thankful for because I was stressing out. And the space is huge, they really transformed it into exactly how I envisioned it. It was my first time having a party at a venue and I’m so glad I chose The Loft 🤩
Recently had my baby shower at The Loft and everything was beautiful.
I hosted a fundraiser at The Loft and it was one of the best experiences from start to finish. The staff communicated all needed information prior to my event including sending a list of vendor options. They accommodated any changes I needed and were available to meet with me as needed. This will definitely be my go-to space for future events.
My husband and I had our 40th birthday here this past weekend. We worked with Te'Niijah and she was great! At this venue, you must expect that you have to bring almost everything yourself except tables and chairs (and the provide black linen if that's the color you're going for which worked out for us). They also have 4 small black couches and 2 coffee tables you can use. They also provide a small stand alone bar. We added 3 regular tables around it to make a larger bar since we had 100 people. You should plan how much time you will need to set up vs clean up when figuring out your party time slots. We did a cocktail hour turned nightclub, hired bartenders and waitstaff (from John Claude Catering - who I would highly recommend!) and had no issues with set up time or clean up. JC staff took care of most of the clean up. I just had to get everything out by the time I promised I would be out by, which wasn't an issue. The space was exactly what we were looking for, exposed brick with that lounge vibe. We loved the long hallway before you entered - there is so much you can do with the space. The staff set up 2 tables in the hallway around 10pm (our party was over at midnight). One table was for cigars and the other was for McDonalds. It was a nice surprise that no one can see until they left the main party room. I tagged The Loft on IG so you should be able to see the rest of the set up from there. I would highly recommend having a party here! We loved it!

Amazing place Staff is amazing
We recently hosted our baby shower at The Loft in Montclair, NJ and it was truly an incredible experience. From start to finish everything went smoothly thanks to the amazing team especially Te’Niijah and A’tasia. The space itself was beautiful modern and spacious with a great layout that worked perfectly for our event. One of the things we really appreciated was that they provided tables and chairs which made planning so much easier. It’s a great setup and the venue is very well maintained. Te’Niijah and A’tasia were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional friendly and always accessible whenever we had questions. They offered helpful recommendations and made us feel supported throughout the planning process. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event special and stress free. On the day of the shower everything went off without a hitch. We were able to enjoy ourselves and be present with our guests while knowing that everything behind the scenes was being handled. We’re already looking forward to rebooking The Loft for future events. Huge thanks and major kudos to Te’Niijah and A’tasia for their incredible work collaborating with us and our vendors. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue and team to anyone planning a special celebration.

Hosted my husband’s birthday here a few weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! The space was perfect, it fit all our guests and everything we had planned to bring his party to life. Te’Niijah is a GEM! She answered all my questions, coordinated with vendors and was all around amazing! Loved the place and the staff and will definitely host here again for a future event.
Beautiful venue in the heart of Montclair. The people who work here were amazing and the space is just beautiful. 10/10
