Park West Loft is an event space for company meetings, receptions and small weddings, with room for 100 guests at a formal dinner and up to 150 in a meeting setup. It sits at 38 Oak Street in the downtown business district of Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Seminars and company events
The loft is a single main space, so a meeting here is a whole-room booking rather than a set of separate halls. The venue lists board meetings, sales presentations and stockholder meetings among the business gatherings it hosts. For a meeting with round tables of ten, the stated capacity is 120 guests. With rectangular tables the room takes 150.
Wireless internet and flat-screen televisions are available in the room, which covers the basics for a presentation or a hybrid session. Anything beyond that, such as a projector, microphones or interpretation, should be asked about in the request, because the venue does not describe further equipment.
Because the space is one open room, it suits a plenary format well: a morning presentation, a seated lunch in the same room, then an afternoon of table discussions. Groups that need several breakout rooms will have to plan around that, since no separate rooms are described.
Weddings and receptions
The venue hosts weddings, and it presents the loft for an intimate ceremony followed by the reception in the same place. For a formal dinner with a dance floor, the stated limit is 100 guests. That makes it a fit for a small wedding, a rehearsal dinner or an anniversary dinner rather than a large banquet.
A full-service bar and lounge sits at the entrance to the space, which gives guests a place to gather on arrival before moving to the tables. The venue also takes social events, so family celebrations and private parties can be booked on the same terms.
Rooms and capacities
The three figures to plan around are these. A formal dinner with a dance floor holds 100 guests. A meeting setup with round tables of ten holds 120. A meeting setup with rectangular tables holds 150. These are the venue's own numbers, and the layout you choose changes the count, so state your format when you send a request.
The room is described as eclectic, with fine furnishings and architectural details. Photographs on the venue's site show the space before you visit.
Catering
Catering is handled by the venue's own culinary team. It cooks with seasonal ingredients from local suppliers and presents contemporary menus. This means one contact for both the room and the food, which simplifies a corporate lunch or a wedding dinner. Ask for dietary requirements to be listed in your request so the kitchen can plan for them.
History and setting
The loft is in Ridgewood, a town in Bergen County, New Jersey, and occupies a spot in the downtown business district. Being in the middle of town means guests can reach restaurants and shops on foot before or after an event, and it keeps a day meeting close to local offices.
Getting there
The address is 38 Oak Street, Ridgewood, NJ 07450. The venue's site has a directions page, and its phone number is (201) 445-5400. The site does not describe parking or public transport, so confirm both with the venue before you send guests, especially for a group arriving by train or coach.
