Great experience! We had my moms 50th here and loved it so we came back around to the new space in Brandon. We had an idea for my dad’s 60th and they made it come to life. We had such an awesome time. Beautiful space, great food and wonderful service. Glad we chose this event lounge for the second time.
The Loft Event Lounge hosted my daughter’s high school graduation party in June. They handled every detail of the party and had insight for the ideas that we wanted to incorporate. It truly is a one stop shop. If you want to host an event in the Brandon area, they are definitely the venue to go to.
I had my last minute baby shower here today. We loved everything. Thank you to the Loft Event Lounge for everything.
We did my sister in laws graduation party here and the service and decor was outstanding! Everything was on point! The photographer was awesome and the dj rocked the house! I hope they open another location close to me! Súper organized and the staff was great! Working with Arlene and Benjamin was great! They were so helpful and understanding. I highly recommend this place!
Totally awesome venue. Professionalism, friendliness, on time, and on point are just a few way to describe them. I love this place because it offers a worry free party for me. There is nothing like getting ready Saturday evening for my party and only concerning myself on my outfit, because everything from food to DJ is all taken care of. Oh and the best part is enjoying myself til the end of my party time and walking out without having to worry about clean up. Cant get any better than that!
Highly recommend The Loft Event Lounge. They go above and beyond your expectations! Every thing was done according to our wishes. We loved our event !
I will totally recommend!! Stress free and satisfaction guaranteed!. Our prom was celebrated in The Loft and was a success, the details and everything was just amazing!!
We had our company holiday party at The Loft in Brandon, and it was great. The decorations were very creative and colorful. The staff was friendly and attentive. They were helpful with answering questions and stayed on top of things. Thank you from all of us, and Prim!
We had our daughters birthday party there. The staff went above and beyond to make her day special. They totally understood what my vision was for the event and brought it to life. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The Loft Event Lounge is a great place to create your lasting memories. They help you every step of the way. The staff was completely professional and conscientious of all of my needs and wants..I HIGHLY recommend them and would give them 10 stars if I could. We will definitely be using them again!
Ive married couples in many different places and driving into the parking lot of this venue, I wondered what this place would be like. I was highly impressed. Its as if you are stepping into another world. It is immaculate and very professionally run. They decorated exquisitely for the couple, and really made it a dreamland. Local couples should definitely check them out, as it seems they really know what they are doing and how to make the couple feel like their day is as special to them as it is to you.
I am a first time author that moved from Tampa to Lakeland. I really needed a venue that was a central location between the two cities. When I meet with one of the owners during my consultation I was highly impressed and the ease of the booking process was incredible. All in all The Loft made my Book Launch a success. Thank you Loft Staff.Katana
Very classy very nice friendly staff
What a great place for events! I was there for a meeting and debate watch party. The food was good, even though it was probably not what I would have chosen. And they kept the food bar open until 9:15. That was good.
The Staff and the DJ my experience very fun. Sherry was also a good drank maker 😊
Ive only been there for company Christmas parties but its always been a great time!
I have attended dinner meetings at The Loft 5 or 6 times this year. The atmosphere is festive, while makes & social distancing rules are followed. The event host chooses a menu, which is served buffet style. Choices include bbq, taco, pasta and others. Water &/or coffee or soft drinks are included. They have wi-fi, multiple video screens & audio. Its a great place for a meeting or large event.
Arlene and her team did a fantastic and beautiful job with my wedding. The staff was friendly, the food was good, Mark was on point with our event schedule; everything exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Loft Event Lounge for any occasion especially weddings!!! Very pleased.
I couldnt be more pleased with my Baby Shower Party. The LOFT staff was excellent to work with.I will recommend it to anyone that would like to have a great time celebrating any event and no worries at all.Arlene is knowledgeable, and easy to work with and make all about you.
We had to plan a last minute quince (1.5 months in advance) and the LOFT totally took away all the stress about it! The decorations were great, the food was amazing (that Mac and cheese... WOW!), and the staff was lovely! I 10/10 would recommend! They make sure that you can actually enjoy your event and not work it!
My sister and her husband had their wedding at the Loft Event Lounge this weekend. The whole wedding went so smoothly from the rehearsal to the wedding. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Loft Event Lounge is a great place to hold a event. Food, music, and atmosphere were perfect for the wedding.
If you are looking for a no hassle all inclusive event this is the place to have your party at. Worth every penny!!! We had our son’s graduation party here last weekend. The staff was amazing, the decorations were amazing, the DJ was amazing, and the food was very good. The desert bar was incredible! I cannot say enough about our experience. I recommend this place to anyone having a party or even small wedding. We are very happy. Thank you again to the staff for making this day so special for my son.
Arlene was a pleasure to work with. Her communication skills are top notch. She’s very responsive & accommodating. I had my 30th birthday party here last weekend & all of my guests commented on how wonderful everything was. It was a masquerade theme, and Arlene nailed my vision. The all inclusive design was perfect, and made everything much easier. DJ Heavyweight CRUSHED it! He was amazing. I’m a 90’s baby & he played every song I could’ve wanted to hear. The staff is experienced & articulate. Give this place a shot!
The LOFT Event Lounge is a great place to have any event!! I was blessed to have had a birthday party there and EVERYTHING was WONDERFUL!!!! From the staff, food, decorations, music.......EVERYTHING was AWESOME. When planning an event they go out of their way to make sure everything is a success. The variety of menu selections, themes, and decorations are top notch. Arlene and Mark are two of the best in the business. They are both wonderful and did a great job with the party. I would definitely recommend The LOFT Event Lounge for any event you have or plan to have.
I had my daughters graduation event at the Loft. Arlene and her staff were awesome. The price of the event was very reasonable. When I have another event I will be calling them. The decorations was awesome, the staff was awesome, and the food was awesome. I was queued to do certain things and the staff was letting me know each time. I talked to my guest and they were very impressed and asking me questions about the place. Thank You Arlene for helping me make my daughters graduation event special.
This place was amazing for my wedding I’d have another event here the price is excellent for the service. The staff and dj heavyweight were a pleasure. Arlene is the best and so sweet
The loft hosted our company Christmas party of 60 people. I cannot say enough about their entire staff! Everyone was so helpful and on point. Not to mention amazing to work with and beyond friendly!! This was our first time using an event lounge. Arlene, one of the owners truly was a dream to coordinate with. She answered all my questions and was very flexible with changes and the agenda.The food was fabulous and home cooked!!When deciding on a theme, the loft can pretty much do whatever theme you are thinking of! It’s pretty amazing. We did Christmas in Paris! This was the first year I didn’t have much to do In the form of planning. The loft staff is extremely organized so you don’t have to be!I highly highly recommend the loft for any party or occasion. Thanks everyone for a great party!!
I had my husband’s retirement party here. It was the best ever. It was a one stop shop. Arlene made a very stressful event into a worry free ball of fun. If you tell her what you want and let her handle it, she has a way of bringing your vision to life and more. I can’t wait to find a reason to have another event.
We just held our daughters sweet 16 here on Aug 25th. It was absolutely beautiful!! The staff was on queue and everything was very organized even though we werent! We have never planned a party and didnt have the slightest clue. Arlene and her team walked us through everything and made sure we did what we had to do to ensure the partys success. It was a success!!! Thank you so much and I would recommend the lounge to anyone looking for a venue!
We just recently had our 20th high school reunion for Bloomingdale High School and The Loft EXCEEDED our expectations! The food was delicious, the DJ played great music and kept the crowd interested, the decorations were insanely beautiful and the service was OUTSTANDING!! The owners went above and beyond to make sure that they adjusted the menu, decor and pricing to benefit our budget and I never once felt pressured. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!! The Loft is THE PLACE for excellent customer service and one-stop shopping!
I had my daughter quinceañero 2 yrs ago and last week (7/12/19) a date that I won’t ever soon forget, I had my wedding ceremony and reception put together by this amazing company. The LOFT event coordinators was with me from day one, going over all the details, and preparations up until my BIG day. I love the staff and everyone who was involved with the planning of my ceremony. They were every easy to work with, they have very knowledgeable and supporting staff, the food was prepared nicely, and when it came to the decoration and planning of the event, it showed that the Loft personals took careful consideration of putting everything together with care.. They are the best. The Loft Event is a place where you could put your mind at ease or for you to focus mainly on you because they have exactly what you would want for your event and they knows precisely what needs to be done to make your perfect ceremony becomes a reality.. Thank you Arlene, Bill, Mark, and the rest wonderful staff for making all of my events you have hosted unique and special.
We had our daughters sweet sixteen here at the loft. The new location is beautiful. Everyone at the loft was so helpful and made sure our night was perfect. We will definitely be back for all future events
Every year we book our Christmas Party at this venue. Every year they get better and better. The staff is so accommodating and professional. the food is absolutely delicious! if you are looking to book an event and want the planning to be stress free, call the Loft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day of my wedding went off without a hitch, they decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. The only thing I would say is that the professionalism is not the greatest. For people running a business I don’t think that you should be yelling at me and my bridal party at our rehearsal. If your looking for a all inclusive place this venue does almost everything, but it is not as stress free as you would think.
Great staff great place highly recommended
Hola...I just had my daughter sweet 16 at The Loft Event Lounge.. Saturday 8/31/19 and everything was on point.. the staff 5 ***** ... amazingly a clean environment good hospitality as well very polite people..I would do it again I was pleased!!!
The Loft does a very good job when it comes down to making the clients evening magical . My wife and I attended a wedding. If dreams could come true for a bride and groom, The Loft controlled the magic wand.I would strongly suggest, if you are planning a special event, check out The Loft Prices are fair and the music is good dance music for all who attend.Only problem I had was you can not tip the bartender. She did such a wonderful job. Its part of the packageThank you Loft StaffKevin & Mary L.
Beautiful space! I had my bridal shower here and I could not be more impressed with the service of the staff and the event coordinator Arlene. They went above a beyond. I wasn’t expecting my shower to be as beautiful as my wedding. It really brought tears to my eyes. Food was fantastic.It you have any events coming up in your future consider this event space. Everything willRun smooth and you won’t have to worry about a thing. Your party will be perfect and everything that you dreamed it would be!!!
Thank you for amazing event for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We appreciate you catering selection of food that we chose as well as meeting all of our request. This is an amazing place to hold an event one stop shop with no worries .they Offered a variety of food to choose from. We were able to create signature drinks for the event. We were able to enjoy and not worry about anything going wrong I would use them again for any other future events I may have in the future
A great choice! We held our daughters Sweet 16 birthday party here. From beginning to end, I was assured everything would be taken care of, all we had to do was show up and have fun. And we did. Arlene and her staff were a pleasure to work with and they were very accommodating for the little things on the day of the event. The venue was beautifully decorated, the food was good, Publix did an excellent job with the dessert bar and DJ Danny did a great job with music and as emcee throughout the event. If you want to have less stress and focus more on the pleasure of the your special event, I recommend The LOFT Event Lounge.
We used The Loft for our parents 50th anniversary party. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They really exceeded my expectations. I would definitely use them again for future events. It was well worth the money to have someone else make sure everything ran smoothly. Pretty much all we had to do was show up and have a good time!
We just celebrated our daughters Sweet 16 last night and I cant even begin to describe the gratification I have for finding this place and for this venues very existence! Arlene and the ENTIRE staff were outstanding!!! Because of such professionalism and attention to details an awesome and fun time were had by everyone. Thank You again for making Ashleys party a huge success and an amazing evening!!!!! I highly recommend anyone who is planning a party that you book with them, I can guarantee you will NOT be disappointed...
The LOFT Event Lounge made our celebration a night to remember! The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. The new location is beautiful and very spacious. Our guests can not stop saying how wonderful everything was! Arlene you Rock! Thank you for everything!
We would LOVE to Thank “THE LOFT” sooo much. Arlene, from the help with planning, the decor, and food. You were amazing. Mark, you did a great job as our event manager. You guys made our Wedding and Reception so beautiful😍 We will definitely recommend The Loft to our family and friends!! Thank you guys again. ❤️ The Bride & Groom (Suzan & Darwin🥰)
5 stars does not justify the quality, effort and outcome that we had in making our daughters Quinceanera come true with the help from Arlene and her staff. Any question or concern was answered and handled in a professional manner regardless of the time of day. The quality of the food, the set-up, the programing, the music and the most minor detailed was handled with no exceptions. They made our daughters night and our night a memory that will forever last. Thank you again for all your hard work and help with this.
The Loft Event Lounge went above and beyond in every way. Arlene was amazing and responded immediately to all my emails (and as a MOB who planned a year out, there were a lot). She made my daughter feel like a princess and was attentive to her and my son-in-law. Decorations were amazing and exactly what the bride wanted.The staff, day of wedding treated the guests like royalty. They served my daughter and son in law drinks before they even got up. I cannot say enough good things about them.Everyone said the food was awesome. Was told over and over again best reception they had ever been to and I didnt do any of the work. I can say I had issues with other vendors but not the Loft. So once we got to the Loft I got to relax. Mark was awesome. Staff was awesome. Donald from Event Heroes photography was awesome and DJ Heavyweight was awesome. I cant say awesome enough. Oh and go platinum bc the photobooth stole the show, such a great idea. Best wedding favors ever.I will recommend to everyone and use again.
Me and the 49 families that helped celebrate my wifes 70th birthday couldnt have asked for a better place to party. The Loft (Arlene and staff, DJ and Photographer) are a solid 5. Attention to detail best describes how Arlene and her staff operates. Everything was on point! The venue was decorated perfectly to compliment or Motown 70s theme. DJ Fresh kept us jamming all night and the Soul Train Line was a huge hit; Donald Stokelys photos really captured the moment, cant wait to get the finished products; the food was excellent, thanks to Arlenes personal touch. Staff was attentive from start to finish, if youre looking for a team to make your night one to remember, book the LOFT!
I cant stop talking about the fabulous experience we had at The LOFT Event Lounge for our daughters Quinceanera! Arlene and her crew were incredible! They exceeded our expectations and blew the minds of all our guests. Since Im a control freak, it was very scary handing over most of the control to someone Id never met before, but Im so glad I did! 90% of my stress went out the window. And the vendors they chose were awesome!!!! Danny G kept the party hopping as the DJ. Alana was all over the place as the photo ninja and I cant wait to get the pictures. And the food was absolutely delicious. The theme was so well executed that people couldnt believe I had not done it all myself. (Remember, Im a control freak.) And at the end of the night, everything was packed up and ready to be loaded into our cars. What more could anyone want? If Im ever planning another big party again, Im running right back to The LOFT!
First time there, liked the place
Expensive as hell. This aint Miami or South Beach.
We renewed our vows at The Loft, everything was nicely done and organized. Arlene communicated with us promptly and made sure every details were covered.
The Loft did a great job making sure nobody had to worry about anything! DJ Heavy was amazing as usual! And the food was amazing!
Words can not express how grateful I am for Arlene and her staff for making my daughter Melanies Quinceañera amazing experience from beginning to end ! Will always recommend The Loft Event Lounge to everyone 😊 My guest are still talking about how a great time they had from the minute they got their to the end of the party. They enjoy every minute of it and its a memory that Melanie will cherish a lifetime. Thank-you again Arlene & Ben for all your hard work and dedication.
Amazing staff, great food and a steal of a price. You’re not gonna find anything like this around Brandon or Tampa. I would definitely recommend hiring The Loft Event Lounge for your next big event!!
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Establishment very clean and event amazing
Literally one of the best nights Ive had my entire life! We had our daughters quinceanera here this past Saturday, and to say it was so easy to plan and work with Arlene and her staff is an understatement. She assured me from our first meeting a year ago that they would handle everything; it was very hard for me to let go and put all my trust into them but I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I did that. Everything from the decor, to the food, to the service, to just making sure my daughter and I were fully comfortable with everything was more than I could have asked for. Our family and guests raved the entire night about how beautiful the venue was and what a great time everyone was having. I didnt have to do anything the entire night but dance ( thanks to DJ Danny) have fun and enjoy our family and friends and especially my daughters wonderful birthday. Thank you again Arlene and staff you guys are FABULOUS!
I went a event and the owner was so mean to me. I would never have something there because she was out of place I was a guess and I should have treated me nice. Also she governed the music no profanity at all I felt so sorry for the DJ she was yelling at him about the music.
Great place for smaller events. Beautiful venue for a cozy wedding.
From start to finish, this place was amazing! Decorated beautifully and the food was awesome! I would recommend this venue for all types of events!
This event venue is AWESOME! They handle everything from set-up/décor to clean up, all you have to do is show up and have a good time and leave, without having to deal with all the things that come with planning a party. They do it all and I am glad I chose the LOFT Event Lounge for my Celebration! They are really great with coming up with different themes and such, makes this place one of a kind!
Beautiful hidden gem. This is a great venue for a small event. We were guests at a wedding and it was decorated in a glamorous sophisticated manner. The food was also delicious.
This place was great.
What a Beautiful place! Arlene & her crew are awsome hosts!!! Every detail is exactly what you expect. The Loft is the perfect place for your special day!
I have attended many events over the years at the Event Lounge. Every single event has been run very smoothly, on time and a lot of FUN. The Staff, their DJ’s, Photo Booth and their Photographers are all very professional and make sure every detail is taken care of so we can enjoy our guests and ourselves. The food is always amazing and the Winthrop Village Publix always kicks butt with the Cakes or Dessert Bars they provide. For what you get with the ”All-Inclusive” packages they offer – it’s by far the best deal in the entire Tampa Bay area
ARene and her staff did and amazing job aty wedding this passed Saturday.. She was quick to keep in contact with me about any changes I made at the last minute.. she understood our vision of the wedding and created it beautifully.. you could see all the hard work that went into the wedding.. great place for any event and great staff as well.. love love love it!!!
First, let me say that our wedding, on 9/1, with the Loft was AH-MAZING! I was apprehensive at first due to the location and exterior, but you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.Arlene and her staff were very diligent in making sure our vision came to life. Whenever I emailed her, she responded promptly. She was super relatable and well organized! She made a point to include a picture (that I fell in love with) that I found to go with our color scheme, and used that throughout our entire event.The value for money that you get with the Loft’s all-inclusive venue is outstanding! It’s a local, family-owned business, so the ability to really craft what you want your event to look like is totally possible. I wanted a brunch menu, but I love Hispanic food, so Arlene suggested adding on her crowd favorites: ropa vieja and yellow rice. YUMMY!Arlene even worked with us when it came to the final payment. The payment was due on the Thursday before our Sunday wedding, but there was a hurricane on the rise. She allowed me to email her constantly Friday and Saturday with cancellations and did not require us to pay the entire allotment up front on the designated Thursday.There were minor miscommunications after our event, but these clearly did NOT impede the wonderfulness of our wedding day. We still have guests letting us know, a week later, that that was the best wedding they’d ever been to or that the food (all home cooked by Arlene and her team) was delicious.I am so happy with the way our wedding turned out and how hard Arlene, Mark and Ben worked for us. I would totally have our vow renewal with the Loft Event Lounge. They can’t get rid of the Adams’ that easy =)
Beautiful place
Small venue, but cute use of space.
Was a wonderful experience! Will definitely recommend. First party where I didnt have anything to do anything except enjoy it!
Everything was perfect, great service, beautiful decor, friendly and outgoing to help us out with every need.If you need to have an event I would definitely recommend them.
A great venue with friendly staff highly recommend.
A little dark..great staff. Great place for gatherings
Granddaughter sweet 16 birthday. She had a great time.
I just wanted to share what a great experience I had with a stylist Alicia Hatcher she was amazing and listen to everything I said and my hair came out perfect just the way I wanted it.
The inside is very nice, the tight parking is not so nice.
Lisa did a great job on color blending as requested. Relaxing environment.
Love, Love this place ! Arlene and her crew our amazing . We had our wedding there and everything was fantastic !! Do much fun we danced the night away .
Had my husband’s 60th and my Mother’s 75th, Arlene and her staff were superior with their service and hospitality. We will be back agin soon and look forward to working with Arlene and her staff for another great time!
Ms. Arlene and her crew were very professional and kind, the students dance was a very big success. I look forward in working with them again!
Wedding party set up beautiful
Just planning a party is tough enough!!! But the LOFT makes the whole experience really easy😊
Very nice place.
Great Place to have A Private event..
Amazing, organized, reliable, and most of all professional!
Very nice was the for a Christmas party
Sets up beautifully, a bit small.
Bad service for so much money.
I received a call from Ben, he was very nasty over the phone. Per Mr. Ben they dont allow baby showers on Friday or Saturday only Sunday. If I am paying 5000 I can choose my day. Dont waist your time with this place.
Very nice
Bebe is awesome!
Nice place
Not vary friendly
It is the best place to celebrate your special day. We celebrate my daughters fifteenth birthday. The owner Arlene very professional and very organized. The super friendly and very helpful staff. The place was extremely beautiful decorated. The delicious food. Really for the rest of our lives we will have beautiful memories and all thanks The Loft !! Grateful
