Cocktail Hour Options
Our downtown location allows for some really fun cocktail hour options for our couples and their guests. We love to support our local downtown neighbors and have partnered with two {amazing & walkable} businesses right downstairs from the loft to offer a unique spin on cocktail hour.
Read more about the fun cocktail hour options below!
Cocktail Hour in the Loft
Hosting your cocktail hour in the loft is always welcome - but when you have a guest count of 130-150, we highly recommend taking advantage of one of our other options! This gives our loft staff enough room to flip the ceremony space and style all of the PLV rentals in the south wing of the loft!
*Taking advantage of one of these other options is also great because your 4 hour bar package will not start until after cocktail hour.
You can see our bar packages and beverage selections here!
