The Loft Banquet Hall - Keyport, NJ — Attraction in Keyport

I was lucky enough to have my daughter's first birthday party at The Loft. I cannot express enough how wonderful the whole event was, as well as every encounter leading up to the day.

Kim is a delight to work with, who helped to make sure that my vision came to life. She said yes to all my requests and ideas (including editing the food to be a more summer camp BBQ style to go with the theme). She also let me drop in multiple times to look at the space and go over things with her on very short notice. Kim is a woman who understands the work and stresses that go into having a party and seeks to accommodate and ease any worries you may have. I truly am so thankful to have worked with her!

Now let me tell you about the space, because THE SPACE! The Loft is absolutely beautiful. The walls and the lighting and everything, BEAUTIFUL. It was able to hold my roughly 50 adults and 20 kids easily, in addition to the children's 15x15 soft play area, a photo backdrop, a build-a-bear station, and a backpack wall.

I am so happy I chose to have my daughter's first birthday party here. I cannot wait to have another event with them. You will not regret choosing...

We recently hosted my sister’s Winnie the Pooh themed baby shower at The Loft in Keyport, NJ, and it was truly magical from start to finish. The venue was the perfect blend of charm and elegance—bright, airy, and beautifully laid out for both mingling and seated moments. The exposed brick is an extra special touch and makes all the photo backgrounds extra instagrammable.

Kim and the Loft staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, making the planning process smooth and the day-of experience seamless. Every detail came together perfectly, from the whimsical Pooh-themed decor to the delicious food and the attentive staff.

Guests raved about the cozy, welcoming vibe of the space—and the stunning waterfront views just outside added an extra touch of charm. We enjoyed the outdoor space downstairs at the pub and enjoyed watching the kids play corn hole and run around at ou very own "after party." It was the ideal setting for such a special occasion. If you’re planning an intimate event with character and heart, I can’t recommend The Loft enough. We’ll cherish these...

We are beyond elated with our decision to host our daughter's Sweet 16 at The Loft. From the very beginning, Kim was absolutely phenomenal. She was incredibly accommodating, provided helpful suggestions and ideas, and ensured that our event was nothing short of spectacular. Each and every server and bartender was gracious, attentive, and went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The space was perfect for our party of 110 guests, with ample room for the DJ, photobooth, dancing and all attendees to enjoy themselves comfortably. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, with many claiming it was the best penne vodka they had ever tasted, and the outstanding service. If you are considering hosting your next event, The Loft should be at the top of your list. The venue is beautiful, and the entire staff is...
