Stage

Our historic stage is fully equipped for concerts and theater productions. Also a great space to hold the wedding ceremony! Is often transitioned to hold the head table following ceremonies as well.

Ballroom/Dance Floor

There are countless possibilities for weddings and parties on the main floor – our staff loves when couples get creative with the orientation of the space! The main floor seats 180 comfortably, with a maximum reception capacity of 200. During weddings, our staff handles all of the transitions on the main floor. From your ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing – everything is handled for you!

Balcony

The balcony is often used as overflow seating for wedding receptions. Three tables fit comfortably with 24 seats. This is also a great space for a wedding photo booth or standing space during concerts.

Bridal Suite

Nestled just off of our balcony in the Theater, the bridal suite runs the entire width of our building. It is complete with a bridal party lounge area, a comfortable restroom with a bathroom stall, vanity and shower, and a make-up room equipped with three separate vanities so all the ladies can get ready at the same time!

Groom Room

A relaxed environment for the groom and his groomsmen is located backstage. Guys have freedom to make this space their own while they get ready for the big day. They can hang, watch a football game, whatever suits the groom!

Family Room Balcony

Our “VIP” space, as we like to refer to it, is the balcony above the balcony. Accessible from the Bridal Suite, the Family Room is a great space for brides and grooms to retreat to if they need a moment to breathe amidst the wedding hustle. It has also been used as a VIP/Secret Bar space for bridal parties and families or a VIP lounge during concerts.

Warming Kitchen

The warming kitchen is complete with space for caterers to prep final aspects of the meal, and to store seconds prior to being brought out to the buffet table. It is not a full-service commercial kitchen.

Bar

On the north side of the ballroom, attached to the kitchen, is the bar. Great for bartenders to work out of and easily access the kitchen for additional beverages from the refrigerators. Chalkboard menus are available next to the bar top, so brides and grooms can specify the drinks being served.

Staging Room

This is the space that our staff works out of to prepare all of the transitions throughout wedding ceremonies and receptions. Great for storing decor, party favors, and coats during the winter months.

Sound & Lighting Booth

The perfect set-up for DJs. Our in house-set up is available for all weddings and party packages. You can choose to hire a DJ to run your sound and lighting or plug in your phone with a playlist. Lighting features around the room can change to a variety of color options for ceremonies, dinners, concerts and theater productions. We also have a party light feature to add energy to any dance floor.

Design Inspiration & Set Up Options

In order to help you design the space in a way that meets all your needs, we are glad to get creative and give you multiple set up options to incorporate tables, chairs, food, or whatever else you may need for both your ceremony and reception. The pictures below are here to give you an idea of what your special day might look like. Please note that the event capacity varies based on each of these set-ups and that some seating is on the balcony. Theater-style seating for a concert or play can accommodate up to 300 guests while tabled seating at a reception or dinner comfortably holds 200-215 guests. Our coordinators can help you determine which layouts might be best for you and your attendees.

Testimonials

The venue was just perfect!

The owner and all the staff is incredible! The venue was just perfect. Planning a wedding in only 4 months is no easy task, but Uriah, Jonathan and Billy were instrumental in making our day perfect. The Loft in Colorado Springs and in Buena Vista are perfect!

The Loft at BV was love at first sight!

The Loft at BV was love at first sight for us. We toured the wedding venue before any updates had been done and we could just tell from the staff’s excitement and dedication that it was going to be something unbelievable the next time we saw it. They were right on! Every step of the wedding planning process with them was absolutely enjoyable. What great people they have on their team! It was a dream come true (in our reasonably set budget!) and we owe most of that to the staff. Can’t wait to get photos back so we can share them with everyone!

We will forever hold this place in our hearts.

We just had our wedding reception at the Loft August 18th and I can’t recommend highly enough! First of all, we were drawn to this space because it is super cool. The double staircase down to the main floor was beautiful and I loved the vintage/rustic feel about it… Second, the team at the Loft, led by Jonathan, was so kind and understanding of our needs. Like most people, I have no experience planning a wedding, but these guys… We owe a big thank you to everyone at The Loft and will forever hold this place in our hearts as “The Place” we celebrated our marriage with our beloved friends and family.

I highly recommend getting married at The Loft

The venue is amazing! I could not have found any place better to have our wedding! Jonathan and Rebecca and their staff did everything we wanted and acted like we were the only wedding they had that weekend! I highly highly recommend getting married at the Loft.
