We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: The Narrative Loft has a new home! After the sale of our original building, we knew we had to find a way to keep the spirit of The Loft alive—and we’ve done just that. We’re now located on State Street, right in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, operating in partnership with Kiva Cowork, a vibrant coworking space by day.
Our new location is just a three-minute walk from the Santa Barbara Courthouse, making it a perfect spot for couples hosting courthouse ceremonies who want a convenient and stylish space to celebrate afterward.
“When the building was sold, we were approached to keep the venue alive, and we knew we had to find a creative solution to do so,” says Marina Anahita, new owner of The Narrative Loft. “We saw an opportunity to not only continue The Loft's legacy but also bring it into the spotlight by moving to the heart of downtown. By partnering with Kiva, we’re able to offer the same ‘loft’ look in our main hall, plus even more—like a trendy outdoor patio, an impressive vaulted atrium, a cozy lounge area, and a prep kitchen.”
While our location may have changed, everything you love about The Narrative Loft remains the same. Our space continues to offer the charm, warmth, and flexibility that made the original venue a favorite for weddings, private parties, creative productions, and corporate gatherings.
With our new central downtown location and modern amenities, The Narrative Loft is ready to continue hosting memorable events that tell your story—now with even more to love.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our new space!
