The Loft of Elements Preserved - Elgin, Illinois

OMG, where do I begin?!

My now-husband and I both have small families, so we were getting overwhelmed and frustrated when touring other venues with a minimum number of people. We also wanted our venue to have a garden aesthetic feel. After much research, we found Elements Preserved! We both love to go to thrift and antique shops, so when we saw the space and the rental pieces, it seemed very much like us, which felt destined.

We came in and enjoyed the bright space. We had a whole Pinterest board with ideas and a vision, and we loved how Beth and the florist Janet were so excited. We collaborated with ideas and suggestions, and I loved that so much! We designed the space exactly how we dreamed, and it will always be so special to have that experience. So we brought the garden to the loft, which was amazing! With a small family, we thought it would be great to have one long table instead of separating our families with multiple tables in the space. We loved that we did this because it felt more intimate to bring two families together.

We can't forget to mention Karen, the elements officiant. She is so sweet and the nicest, and she is the perfect person to have as your officiant. We had some ideas for our ceremony, and she also had sweet suggestions, like adding a few Spanish touches to our ceremony, which was lovely and made it personal.

Beth was amazing to work with! We have nothing but great things to say about her. She was super sweet, organized, and great at coordinating with our vendors. We are so happy we had this experience and picked this space. So many of our family members loved the space and kept asking us how we found it. It is truly a gem, and we are in talks to use the space again when we start to expand our family in the future. Thank you so much Beth! - Neraida + Bill

Loved working with Beth and the venue is beautiful! We planned a baby shower while being out of state and she made it very easy. Our guests also loved all the furniture pieces you can rent out. They add so much character to your event decor. Highly recommend!!

Would definitely recommend and would rest the venue again in the future!

We recently hosted our father's 80th celebration at The Loft of Elements Preserved. The venue was perfect with quaint decoration, and it was a truly memorable experience. The attention to detail in the decoration was evident, with subtle yet elegant touches that enhanced the overall ambiance of the celebration creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for all the guests. Beth was accommodating and professional, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the event. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a special occasion with a touch of charm and sophistication. We will consider this lovely space in the future.

We could not have found a more perfect venue for our small wedding than the Loft of Elements Preserved! Beth was so great to work with. She took all the pressure off of us having to find vendors and schedule and we knew everything was in great hands. Seriously every vendor (photographer, florist, officiant, bakery, etc.) was amazing and all included in the price of the venue.

Not to mention the venue space is gorgeous and has so much natural light. We had the space from 2-5pm and the light in all the photos was stunning. Beth went above and beyond making sure every detail of the decorations was perfect. Thank you Beth for being such a huge part of making our wedding day perfect!

We had our intimate wedding at this venue and it was beautiful! Beth explained the all inclusive package to us and from then on we made our decision to host our wedding there. My husband and I had no stress planning the wedding at all. Beth made the process so smooth and communication was always timely. We told each vendor about our vision for our wedding and they came through with it spot on.

Where do I even start! The place is absolutely stunning! My sister and mom threw me my dream bridal shower here and we received so many compliments on the place. They loved the flexibility to decorate/style however they wanted. Beth was super easy to work with and very responsive. Highly recommend this place!

Beth was a dream to work with. The space is a blank canvas to let your imagination run wild. It’s amazing have antique shop 2 doors down to make your event one of a kind. So many of my guest complimented the space and the small details. I can’t wait to have my next event there!
