Welcome to The Loft —

The perfect Northeastern Nebraska Barn venue for weddings and special events. Since 2018, we’ve seen to it that our couples, their families, and guests have the time of their lives. If you’re looking to put on an elegant affair with impeccable service, you’ve come to the right place. Since we were established in 2018, our goal at The Loft has been to help our clients realize their unique and personal visions for their weddings and special events. We’re in the business of creating experiences you and your guests will want to remember forever. We believe that every element of your celebration should be special, starting with the venue.

About the Pruess Family —

Doug and I bought and moved to Doug’s parents home once they retired in 2017. We have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. At that time we refurbished the barn into a venue. It has been a hit! After starting weddings, I offered my decorating services to friends and family that has since filled a schedule almost a year in advance and that is why Lauren has decided to take on the over flow of weddings!

I have approximately $25,000 of decor and table linens! So much to choose from and we just love seeing the brides faces when they walk into their venue! Let us take the pressure off of you, we have got this!

Meet Lauren —
