The Retreat: 4th Floor

Historic building meeting space. The building is very cool for VERY small groups. The 3rd floor can comfortably hold about 20 people. More than that and it becomes very cramped. With only two bathrooms available, it really shouldn't be used for a large group.

Working with this business (if you can call it that) for the short time that I did was terrible. Unresponsive to e-mail and phone calls, and never followed up as they said they would. It wasn't until I called maybe 3-4 times later and asked for an invoice again a week later that they told me my date was booked...even though they told me it was available prior to booking. How do you give away a space as you're writing up the invoice? Completely unprofessional, and utterly disappointing. Such a waste of time. Had I known how they operated before hand I would have looked up more venues.

I can't say enough about this space and the team at The Loft.

We used this space for our staff retreat and found it was the perfect get away for a multi-day planning session. It is perfectly located in downtown DC. Parking was very easy to find as there are a number of parking garages located just steps away from the building.

The staff were incredibly professional and responsive. The caterer they use is fantastic and we enjoyed the creativity and quality of the food. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend you consider using The Loft for your next event.

The venue itself is great with comfy couches. At the time we were there, there were only two toilets (with one having a broken lock) for 40 people which was tricky. Be aware that this venue is located opposite from the fire station hence be sure to get sirens frequently.

I haven't actual used the event space, but I did request a quote. I received a quote in record time and it was very professional. The information given was detailed. I even received a follow up email to address any questions I had. Their customer service was on point. If you can feel good customer service through and email, then I would say it has to be stellar in person. This place looks spectacular!!!! Since good service is so rare I try to share when I can.
Thanks Eve & Dane for demonstrating real humanity!!!!
