The story

Nearly a century under one roof

Scroll through the chapters of the building, from a 1928 hotel to the ballroom it is today.

March 28, 1928

The Aurea Vista Hotel opens

Designed by architect G. Stanley Wilson, also chief architect of the Mission Inn, the building opens as a hotel and furniture store. The bar top is made from hundreds of real pennies.

1970

Riverside Ballet Arts moves in

The banquet room becomes a dance school, and the room that hosts weddings today first learns to hold a crowd that moves together.

2014

Shelby Worthington and Cindy Alden bring it back

The landmark is revitalized as Loft .84, a wedding and event venue in the heart of Downtown Riverside. Sister venues Thee Olde Chapel and Windmill Canyon Ranch follow.

Questions

Asked and answered

Real answers from Loft 84’s FAQ and pricing pages. One answer open at a time.

Your guest list needs to be under 150 to have both your ceremony and reception in the Citrus Ballroom, because of the space and time it takes to flip the room. The maximum for a reception only is 200.

It depends on the day, the guest count, and the package you choose. Loft 84 has done $5,000 weddings and $50,000 weddings. Build your package above to see your estimate from the published prices.

The non-refundable deposit is $2,000. The minimum to hold your date is $1,000, and the next $1,000 is due 30 days after the first $1,000.
