Love that this venue is small / independent and they have a ticket kiosk & sell tickets directly so you can avoid "ticket fees" which were an ~40% upcharge ($9.05 "fee" on a $25.00 ticket) Def recommend buying directly from this great venue and avoiding those ridiculous charges. They also put out free cold water and cups for guests, always a welcome amenity. I'll definitely be back to see more shows at this fantastic club!

We could barely move in our seats, and when the show required people to stand, it was chaotic. People actually had to crawl under the table just to get out, to get a drink, food or go to the bathroom, which seemed like a serious fire hazard. There was no table service. The show itself was just as bad. The prizes were bizarre and low-quality. Things like dildos and a cardboard cutout of Snoop Dogg, nothing like the prizes you typically get at this type of event. Overall, I can't say much good about either the show or the venue. It was uncomfortable, unsafe, and not very enjoyable.

It's a unique space, great for getting out of the summer sun (or winter wind), but it can also be a bit disorienting as the sound bounces all over the place and many of the shops have different hours. Still, it's a unique building, great for browsing, shopping for knick-knacks, or a decent meal. It's not my go-to area for shopping or food, but if you're by the beach, it's not bad at all!

My wedding on October 23, 2025 at The Park Loft was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment…read morewe began planning, the staff was attentive, thorough, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Creating our wedding with the Park Loft team was a smooth, joyful, and stress‑free process -- exactly what every couple hopes for. The culinary experience was truly unmatched. The chef and sous chef were not exaggerating when they said their food was the best. From cocktail hour to the reception dinner, every dish was exceptional. My guests are still talking about the variety of options and how incredible everything tasted. It was one of the highlights of the entire celebration. The ambiance at The Park Loft is something you simply cannot beat. The space is elegant, warm, and designed to elevate any event. If I had to share one critique, it would be regarding their social media presence. While many weddings before and after ours were showcased on their Instagram page, ours was not -- even after they requested our photo album. It felt a bit disappointing and, honestly, somewhat discriminatory, especially since we were excited to be featured as one of their couples. Additionally, they were strict about certain décor choices. We requested to bring in black chairs to match our color scheme, but were told no, as they only offered brown chairs at the time. It wasn't a major issue for me, and everything still looked beautiful -- but ironically, just a month or two after our wedding, they switched their ceremony chairs to black. Despite those minor frustrations, Alley and the entire Park Loft team were wonderful to work with. They were flexible when we needed wiggle room with décor, planning, and even financing. Their professionalism and kindness made the experience memorable in all the right ways. Overall, I would absolutely consider hosting another event at The Park Loft. The beauty of the venue, the quality of the food, and the dedication of the staff truly set it apart.

The main area was originally a dance hall during its hayday with a wraparound mezzanine. Now it can accommodate up to 200 guests. There is a large dance floor where guests can dance to a DJ or a band if desired. There are various other rooms to make a wedding real personal. There are enclosed glass rooms, facing pretty walkways and gardens all on 4+ acres. Valet parking only. This venue can also be used for business or private meetings.

All throughout service was on point and very attentive. I must say I wanted a scotch and their selection was a double bogey, lol. By choice I'm not particularly a buffet guy, but they are practical. I must say the food choices were plentiful and continuously filled. The carving station guys were fun and having a good time! Desert room was clutch and I enjoyed the ice cream bar. Would've liked a cone choice tho. Overall, I had no issues and we were taken care of the entire time. If the family decides to do it again, I'll be there. Field Goal is Good!!!

There are not enough good things I can say about a Paint A Tee. I have been here 4 or 5 times over…read morethe last few years and my experience is always fantastic. Paint A Tee is family owned and the owner is extremely friendly, accommodating and welcoming. On multiple occasions she remembered me and my nieces making me feel valued and very comfortable. Paint a Tee is located on Monmouth Street so parking is never a problem. The store itself is always very clean and organized. Appointments are easy to make as we usually send an email and someone responds within an hour. You can also host birthday parties here which is great idea if you want to do something different. The great thing about Paint a Tee is they have a variety of different stencils that you can either use markers or paint to create whatever you like on an 8 x 10 paper. They then take the paper and scan it into the computer which then gives you the option to touch up mistakes, move images, duplicate images or remove them entirely. Once you perfect your design you can then print and have the design transferred to a T-Shirt, Pillowcase, Hoodie, ornament, etc... Paint A Tee offers great organized entertainment for children that allows them to be creative and then take home their creation. For the parent or adult its awesome because its a calm engaging activity that is good for all ages.

The maitre'd that led us through our initial tour no longer works at English Manor, but that was no issue whatsoever. Marlyn picked up like she had been with us from the very beginning. EVERY email was answered with ease IN THE MOST TIMELY OF FASHIONs, and all concerns (really more so questions) were addressed. Our details meeting was so thorough and I went into our day feeling completely confident that my vision would come to life. IT DID AND THEN SOME. Again, I truly believe this was all because of Marlyn and Jen. I am Type A, so this was something I was very concerned about. From the minute we set foot on the venue property the morning of our wedding until the minute we left we were absolutely blown away. Marlyn and Jen were just so above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I would've had Marlyn at my wedding as a guest because I love her so much. I went through my day stress free without any type of professional coordinator (which was shocking for me!). marlyn handled absolutely every single detail and issue that arose. (Again, none of which were her fault lol.) Marlyn walked around with me, carried my bouquet, made sure my phone got to my good friend to snap some photos, made sure I had a drink in my hand every minute I wanted it, and just thought of absolutely everything. She even SCRUBBED the dirt off my dress from the rain so it was perfect. I cannot recommend this stunning venue enough! Although, a team is only as good as their players. so, more importantly, i cannot recommend marlyn enough. Our guests are still raving about the venue, scenery, food, and atmosphere. We are so happy with our choice! And ILY MARLYN, SO MUCH.

I booked it with Nicole who had the party date set and ready for us. Then I get a call from the owner Frank who confirms the package, head count, additional orders for the adults. Then I received another call from Nicole asking to confirm the things for the party, when I informed her that I spoke to Frank, she tells me that he never wrote it in the system. As we get there for the day of the party, Frank has music playing with foul language playing in the background. The party starts late and they try and end the party early. The party only runs for an hour and a half. When I was charged for the party Frank charges me more than what was stated in the invoice that he sent me. When I question him about it, he tells me that he will call me back and see what happened. He never returned my call. If you want a nice experience all and all don't book it here, you will be disappointed all around.
