I photographed a wedding at the Loft this past May and had a great experience. It's a quick walk to the lift bridge but the interior of the space is wonderful for photos if the day is too hot or the streets are too crowded (which was true of this day.) We snuck out during the reception to get those classic Stillwater photos but I happily photographed family and bridal party in the space, using the exposed brick wall and the cafe lights throughout as backgrounds.

What a perfect setting for a fall/winter wedding! Emily and the team were SO perfect to work with - and our guests would not stop raving about how wonderful the space was! It was the PERFECT size for 150 guests - not too crowded, but definitely felt like a party! Our guests got to stay within walking distance, and a bunch of us went out to explore Stillwater night life after the reception. The location truly cannot be beat, and the team was even better. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

I think any more than 100 guests is too many for this venue. It can get really crowded really fast, for big events. Everything else was great and will be back!

We had our wedding at The Loft at Studio J recently and it was truly everything we wanted and more. As soon as we first toured the venue, we knew it was perfect for us - the exposed bricks, lighting, and windows are so beautiful. The layout and size was perfect for our 130 people wedding. We received a ton of compliments from guests throughout the evening on how beautiful the venue was.Emily helped us plan our event beforehand and she was so amazing - answered all of my many questions and always responding very promptly. Communication was excellent the entire time. We also worked with Kallan as our day of coordinator who was also incredible, she paid close attention to detail and was on top of everything the day of. Having our wedding at the Loft was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

We celebrated our ceremony and wedding this past weekend here and could not have loved it more. From seeing the venue online, to taking a tour, to booking, all the details leading up to the big day and then seeing it all come together was more than amazing. The staff was very attentive and answered every question no matter how many times I think I asked the same one. It is beyond a beautiful space and we feel so very lucky to have celebrated our big day @ The Loft at Studio J. Highly recommend checking it out about booking for your next event!!!!

Having attended numerous events at The Loft at Studio J, it's difficult not to be captivated by the ambiance this enchanting venue exudes. Nestled in the heart of Stillwater, the venue boasts a history that stretches back to 1895, with the recent renovations only serving to accentuate its inherent rustic charm. It's a testament to the adaptive nature of the space that it can comfortably accommodate an intimate gathering advocating for a non-profit (I've been to many there), while also providing the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding.Upon stepping inside, the warm, exposed brick walls and wooden beams provide a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The ample floor space allows for a variety of configurations, including room for a live band, which further enhances the venue's versatility. One cannot help but appreciate the attention to detail and dedication the staff at The Loft at Studio J has put into revitalizing this historic building.The congenial and supportive staff are truly the icing on the cake. They have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that each event held at this venue is a seamless and memorable experience. In Stillwater, The Loft at Studio J is undoubtedly a hidden gem, just waiting to make your next occasion an unforgettable affair.

We truly had a great experience working with this venue and it was the perfect place for our wedding! Emily was so wonderful to work with: organized, flexible and willing to try and make things work for us, and palpably excited about our vision. For example, they have a huge bar menu to choose from, but we wanted a specific brand of champagne and their team went out of their way to source it for us. The process was easy, Emily was constantly reassuring and helpful, our requests were accommodated beautifully, and it was an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere to host our people. (AND being in the heart of Stillwater for a wedding was so so fun!) For reference, we had about 125 people and it felt really comfortable. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue!

Believe me when I say- BOOK THIS VENUE. Not only is the actual building stunning, but the location is perfect, and the staff is phenomenal. The Loft truly made our wedding day what it was. We received so many comments on how beautiful of a venue it was, and so many of our guests were ecstatic about the location. Being right in downtown Stillwater gave us and our guests access to so many different things (as well as provided the perfect location for beautiful pictures). Working with Emily was easy and stress-free; she was very prompt with communication and flexible with our requests. Such a kind person! Our bartender was also wonderful- quick, polite, and patient. The Loft is fairly priced, beautiful, and overall just worth your time; they go above and beyond to make sure your day is special. You will not regret checking them out!

We loved the modern/ industrial vibe we had at our wedding. I loved that it wasn’t your typical barn wedding! Our memories from this day are perfect. The bridal suite is also a perfect place for photos!

I attended this amazing venue for a wedding. The historic charm, along with all the finishes made this a wonderful spot in downtown Stillwater. As guests of the wedding we had the option of 3 different food entrees; chicken, beef or pasta all were really good. The staff was hard working and attentive

Gorgeous venue!! Can't say enough good things about the Loft, we fell in love with it instantly and it was the perfect place for our wedding reception. Charming, intimate, lots of character, definitely the industrial chic vibe we were looking for. The hanging lights and brick backdrop are just gorgeous. We had a relatively small headcount, 81 guests, and the space felt just right, neither cramped nor empty.Emily was our wedding planner, and she was fantastic to work with! She responded quickly, kept us on task, found us great vendors, and was our day-of coordinator, well worth the extra fee! Super nice and super professional, she knows her stuff.Tip to future brides: don't forget to let your guests know about the photobooth!! It's tucked away towards the back of the common area and we forgot to announce it. A few guests trickled their way back and found the booth on their own, but I think a lot more of them would have taken photos if they'd known!!
