The Retreat: 4th Floor

I booked the whole venue for a party that was to have taken place this past weekend. Due to Covid19 (*in-person gatherings of 50 people or more are currently ILLEGAL to hold in DC) we were not able to hold the event. My calls have all gone unreturned. My emails have never been returned. It goes without saying, sadly, that my deposit of a few thousand dollars has also not been returned. Both the caterer and the band have gladly rescheduled the event without penalty. The Loft@600 has done nothing but ghost me. And taken my money.

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.
