Ally Q. Sent on 11/17/2023An Absolutely Perfect Day
We had our wedding at Waterview Loft in the fall of 2023. Everything about working with Waterview was amazing, their attention to detail is unmatched. The all inclusive vendor package made wedding planning so much easier than seeking out our own vendors and they did a lot of the time consuming work for us. Our even coordinator, Lizzie, was so easy to work with and helped us through every step of the planning process with literally everything. Our experience the day of our wedding far exceeded our expectations, we truly felt like royalty and were catered to by the staff the entire evening, especially by Adel our day of coordinator. They had our special drinks and food preferences at the ready all night! The food for our guests was amazing, from the hors d'oeuvres all the way to the late night snack. The location of the venue was all our guests could talk about for weeks, they loved the water front view of the Detroit River and easy accessibility to the city and hotels. I could not say enough good things about our experience here, if you want to host a wedding that offers the full package, look no further than Waterview Loft. -

Our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. Everything was perfectly in place and ran smoothly. My wife and I were never without a drink in our hand if we wanted it, the food was incredible, all the staff was amazing and absolutely on top of everything. I could really go on; I can't say enough good things about the team at Waterview Loft. They made planning so easy and clear. 10/10, would recommend, they are absolute rock stars at what they do. -

My husband and I got married at Waterview Loft on 12/31/22. Leading up to our wedding, Lizzie did a great job assisting us with everything and preparing us for our wedding. She responded to emails promptly and professionally. Her and the Continental Team did an excellent job setting up our food tasting, accommodating our special drink requests, and more. They did a fantastic job! However, what really made our experience at WVL beyond our imagination was the day of. The staff was FANTASTIC. I truly cannot express our gratitude enough for how incredible everyone was - Kenny and Mackenzie went above and beyond to ensure that everything was absolutely perfect. We did not have to do a single thing the entire night! Mckenzie made sure that we both had everything we needed the entire night, including delivering us our drinks of choice to us during cocktail hour, our table, and even to the dance floor. All of our guests went on and on about how gorgeous the venue was, how wonderful the staff was, and how delicious the food was. Every single guest told us it was the BEST wedding food they have ever had and how insanely large the portions were. WVL and the entire staff truly made our wedding night the best night of our lives. We could not be more thankful for everything that they did to ensure everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -

Thank you so much for all of your work, and your patience as we added last minute things. Your promptness and kindness throughout our experience has certainly been a defining memory of our time working with WVL.
From the start of our experience when we began talking with Jake, we were blown away by the customer service that was demonstrated, and in fact was the deciding factor for us when we chose WVL. From our first engagement with Jake, and then as we transitioned to working with other staff members, the attention to detail and the true caring that was demonstrated on every level put WVL leagues above other venues that we had considered. As we transitioned through Covid lockdown and several staffing changes, everyone continued to be transparent, prompt, and kind, which is all that we could have asked for amongst the weirdness of shutdowns, and uncertainty. Our experiences with Pro DJ, Sweet Heather Anne and with Emerald City were exemplary and they clearly demonstrated passion, and personal care in everything that we discussed with them. Emerald City really fulfilled our hopes for the space. They took our colourful concept and made it tasteful and striking. Sweet Heather Anne was a joy to work with. Heather demonstrated sincere pleasure with our cake concept and really made it into a work of art. Pro Dj was simple to work with and set the tone for the day from the beginning. They kept the party moving, and kept the dance packed all night. The day of staff was truly remarkable. Kata kept us on schedule and on time for the ceremony, and did an incredible job of wrangling our unruly 18 person wedding party. The space was decorated beautifully, and was really injected with colour in our floral arrangements exactly as we had hoped. The cocktail hour was smooth and relaxed, and our guests loved being able to use the patio in the beautiful weather, while we took advantage of the emptied ceremony space for our family pictures. Alyssa was an invaluable asset. She was so vibrant and fun, and clearly loved her job. She made the reception so easy for us, and took the care to touch base with us regularly to make sure that we were happy with how everything was going. Similarly Chloe was so very caring and attentive, the appreciation of her from our parents was unanimous. It seemed like every time we turned around she was there with a fresh drink, or a plate of hors d'ouevres, making sure that we took the time to enjoy our reception for ourselves. She even packaged up some of the petit pastries for us to take home, realizing that we hadn't taken a moment to have any.
The food was outstanding. The hors d'ouevres were fresh, vibrant, and delicious and really set the tone for the evening. The salad was interesting, and full of great flavours that balanced well together while standing out on their own. The main course was everything we wanted and more. The steak was cooked and seasoned beautifully, the asparagus was fresh and the perfect level of crispiness, and the potatoes were just firm enough, and seasoned so well. We received nothing but positive comments on the vegetarian selection as well. We would like to extend a commendation to the kitchen for ensuring that our guest with a severe dairy allergy was comfortable and well fed. My mom spoke with the kitchen manager who ensured that our guest's plate was handled extra carefully.
We seriously could not have asked for a better, more smooth, or organized day. You all made it stress free and easy, as well as memorable and fun for everyone involved.
Thank you so so very much for taking our day and making it magical, words cannot describe the value these memories will have for us for the rest of our lives. We would recommend WVL to anyone, anytime. -

Absolutely terrific venue and a fantastic service.
We had great experience start to finish. Lauren assisted us with all the questions and helped us make right package selection. Anna was our coordinator who helped me to tailor all our requirements.
Every single vendor partner they have are great. Florals, food, service, DJ, quartet team, photographers, event coordinators all made our day absolutely fantastic and fun.
We wanted our wedding to be a great party with good food, good music and great decor and they made that happen. We had such a blast and food was very good. We had a dedicated person coordinator taking care of just me and my grooms drinks, food and random needs. This is a venue to get married for the service and for the party they will put together for you.
Thank you so much Anna for your help and support.

Amazing view, amazing service, amazing food!
We had our wedding here on 12/29/18 and it was absolutely amazing. Anna was a pleasure to work with and was incredibly helpful as our wedding coordinator. She was always available and aways helped me with whatever I needed.
The included vendors were also incredible, it was so nice not having to worry about any of the coordination on the day of our wedding.
On the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely breathtaking, it was so cool to see everything come to life after months of planning. Our guests were raving about the food and the view, both of which were top notch.
The service was also awesome. As someone who worked in the service industry for a number of years, there is good service and there is above and beyond service and that is what we received. Our VIP server, Jazlyn, made sure that we always had a drink in our hand and brought us cake and glow stick necklaces. She made it her mission to make sure we had a blast.
If I had to go back and re-plan my wedding, I would choose WVL again, hands down! -
