Worth every penny!

Do not let the setting fool you - this place is an absolute gem for indoor PNW weddings.

Sarah was so easy to work with and helped us navigate the entire process. “Simple Done Well” is their mantra, and we felt that at every turn. Their day-of staff were so quick to jump in and make the day run just seamlessly. Incredible food (biggest compliment we’ve received from guests!), and a beautiful indoor space. We wanted something that required a very light touch for decor and The Loft absolutely delivered. It made life so easy to have their team coordinate various rentals (furniture and linens), and no need to manage vendor licenses or insurance with this venue. We would’ve loved the weather to cooperate enough to take full advantage of the beautiful courtyard. Would not hesitate to recommend for weddings or other events.

Phenomenal venue and service!

Just perfect! Megan was our venue coordinator and I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding perfect. Great communication, vendor referrals, suggestions. She arranged a wonderful dinner with the restaurant since menu tasting wasn't possible when we booked during lockdown. She also set me up with the bar manager to do a private wine tasting one afternoon. The food and drinks are beyond delicious. The staff is amazing. Megan made sure our ceremony rehearsal and wedding day all went according to plan. Having so many big ticket wedding items being coordinated by one person who understands the venue and menu saved us so much time and stress. Well worth every penny. And I cannot forget the absolutely beautiful space!

Perfect day at the perfect venue!

The moment we walked in to the Loft at Russell’s, my (now) husband and I immediately knew this was where we had to get married. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and barely needed any additional decor for the wedding.

Lucie, the event coordinator at Russell’s, was a delight to work with. She was very responsive with emails, and never hesitated to answer any and all questions we had. We also hired a day-of coordinator, and they worked together with no issues whatsoever.

We chose to do a buffet-style dinner, and people are still talking about how good the food was. It’s been six months since the wedding, and my mom is still raving about the mashed potatoes! My husband and I are so grateful to the staff at Russell’s who helped make our day so memorable.

It was a perfect day, and it happened at the perfect place. I can’t recommend Russell’s enough!
