I am very thrilled to have hosted my wedding at Loft 28 West. It is an absolutely gorgeous industrial chic setting with exposed brick and wooden floors. My cocktail reception was held downstairs which has an Irish Pub feel, allowing guests to be transported to two venues without having to leave the building. The staff was hardworking the entire night and the bartenders were so full of character. This was the first wedding I have been to where the food was absolutely delicious also! Gabrielle was outstanding, making sure everything was flawless throughout the night. She was there from the beginning to the end adding personalized touches to make our day extra special. Though there were a few minor hiccups with pricing and previous agreements being revised during the planning process, I completely understood this was mostly due to switching of hands with coordinators, and they did the best they could with compromising. In the end, I was thrilled my event landed in Gabrielle's hands and if I were to redo my wedding, I would absolutely host it here again! Reviewed on 07-11-2023

We had our daughter's baby shower at Loft28 because of its amazing atmosphere and beautiful decor. Not only is the venue stunning, the event coordinator, Suzanne, is incredible! She was very helpful in making the day go smoothly before the event and the day of the event. The attention to detail, professionalism and service was top notch. We had a couple minor changes the day of the shower and Suzanne did not blink an eye, she made it happen. We also received many compliments on the food! I would highly recommend Loft28! You will love this place!! Reviewed on 21-09-2023

Samantha Checchin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-07-2022 The venue was exactly what we were looking for. We worked with Sarah the most and she went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. Food was great and bar was a ton of fun! We also liked the bar downstairs for cocktail hour. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a loft wedding vibe. Close to hotel, casino, and two brothers brewery. Reviewed on 15-11-2022
Delaney Corbitt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2022 There are so many reasons why Loft 28 West was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space is a beautiful combination of both vintage and modern motifs. Jenna was our wedding coordinator, and I don't think our wedding would have gone even half as smoothly without her! She was very professional, did an amazing job setting up our decorations, kept the wedding on schedule, and listened to all of our ideas. The food (we chose the salmon and roasted chicken) was delicious, and received many compliments from the guests. The patio was also a lovely spot to take our photos and for guests to relax when taking a break from the dance floor. We had a smaller guest list (around 55), but it was clear that the space would be just as beautiful with a larger guest list as well. Highly recommend Loft 28 West!! Reviewed on 29-09-2022
anonymous users(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-07-2021 When we lost our original venue due to an unexpected closure, we reached out to Loft 28 and they immediately scheduled a call/facetime (since I traveled for work and was not able to do in person walk through at first). They have in house catering but due to my circumstances they allowed me to keep the caterer we already had booked and worked directly with the Caterer for all/any coordination logistics. They have great options for bar packages, table sizes/layouts, chair colors, linen colors, some additional decoration pieces you can utilize, furniture you can move around (or not use) and an AMAZING Cocktail space downstairs. They also have these beautiful drapery options to be able to hide sections when the space is being used for both the ceremony and reception (which is what we chose to do). Reviewed on 24-08-2021
Caitlyn Jawor(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2021 This wedding venue is absolutely stunning! If you’re looking for a loft space in the Chicago suburbs, this is the place to go! It’s a newer space, so everything looks fancy and clean! The food was delicious and the cocktails were great! Sara was awesome and made sure everything was set up and ready to go the day of!One VERY BIG downfall was the roof leaking all over our head table and bridal party the day of our reception!!! Being a new space, this should not have happened. We addressed it with staff during our event and it seemed that no one cared to help fix the problem!Another issue that I had during planning my reception, was the lack of communication. I was planning my wedding from another state and they most definitely didn’t make me feel comfortable. I ended up getting bounced around to 4 different coordinators throughout my planning process which made it even more difficult. Things were not passed along from person to person which was very frustrating. Reviewed on 30-06-2021
