Loft on Lake

Event venue

👍👍 We hosted our wedding at Loft on Lake in August 2021 and it was the best! We had 120 people and thought it was the perfect size - it felt intimate but not too small.

👍👍 Highly Recommend: the s'mores latte was great and the atmosphere of this place is really good. It is a part store with some interesting items, event space and a coffee shop.
