    Our wedding at The Lofton was absolutely perfect thanks to Amanda, Leticia, and Saige. They made the entire process so easy and made everything come together. We stay in Serenity for the weekend with our bridal party and even hosted the rehearsal dinner at the house! Having the venue and house all weekend made it so easy and we didn't feel rushed.

    The Lofton was the perfect wedding venue for us! Amanda and Letica are sister that own and run the venue. They were amazing to work with. They were great with communication, always responding quickly to our emails and texts. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with multiple gorgeous spaces for the ceremony and reception. They set up the reception space exactly how we envisioned, and were there to answer every question we had throughout the planning process. The food was also incredible - we got to try it at one of their monthly tasting events, and our guests raved about it. I would highly recommend The Lofton to any couple looking for an incredible wedding experience. We had the best night and will always remember it fondly!
