From the reviews

Our wedding at Pique was perfect! Dana is so good to work with and very easygoing. The venue is beautiful so we did not need a ton of decor and they were flexible on opening early for set up. Parking was pretty minimal but there are plenty of lots around the block to use.

Our National Charity League organization hosted a holiday event at Pique Travel Design in early December. The venue is absolutely beautiful around the holiday season! The gorgeous winter arrangements added to the coziness and festive ambiance.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Jan 2023

Pique Travel is a lovely place to hold any special event! It comfortably seats up to 130 people. We had a buffet style appetizer bar and everyone was comfortable. The venue is beautifully rustic and does not need a lot of decorations. I highly recommend using Pique Travel event space for your next gathering!

Getting married at Minneapolis Event Space - Pique Travel Design's charming event venue, Excelsior, MN

Minneapolis Event Space - Pique Travel Design's charming event venue, Excelsior, MN comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
