My experience hosting at Shell’s Loft was a 20 out of 10. From the moment I met Shell, I was sold. My birthday was a DREAM come true. So beautiful and truly unforgettable. The star was the space which set the atmosphere.

Such a great private space that felt intimate for how large it is. The adjustable warm lighting and the tons of trees and plants inside feels great in the winter. Shell’s team is also lovely and easy to work with.
