An absolute joy!

Working with Stuart, Wendy and Derek at The Loft DSM was amazing. Their attention to detail, promptness, friendliness and work ethic made our wedding planning process and wedding day a breeze. I did not have to worry about a thing as I knew they had everything covered. They were in constant communication with us to ensure we got exactly what we wanted and envisioned. We got so many compliments on the decor, the flow and timing of our events and florals. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend The Loft DSM to any couple wanting the wedding of their dreams.

Most amazing vendor team EVER!

When we toured The Loft DSM, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We booked it almost 2.5 years early and throughout the entire process Stuart, Derek, and Wendy were phenomenal. Stuart was able to meet with me several times about my vision and execute it flawlessly. From the florals to the drapery to the lighting to the glassware, Stuart and The Loft DSM made our wedding day spectacular. During wedding week and on the day of, Wendy and Derek were the most amazing duo and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Wendy calmed my nerves, handled the little fires that popped up, managed familial issues, reminded me to eat and drink water, and made me feel like I could truly relax, which is a hard thing for me to do. If you are wanting a team that can exceed your expectations and create your dream wedding or event, The Loft DSM is the place for you.
