- SSara Kloepfer16/08/2024The Pipe Shop: A Dream Wedding Venue!The Pipe Shop: A Dream Wedding Venue!We had our wedding at The Pipe Shop and are so happy with how everything turned out! The team was lovely to work with, particularly Rachelle and Sophia. They were super helpful and responsive to any questions we had. Visiting, booking, and coordinating with the venue was really straightforward. The venue is already amazing on its own, so we didn't have to do much to decorate. The space was a perfect size for our guest count of 120, and we appreciated how accessible the building is.We had our wedding at The Pipe Shop and are so happy with how everything turned out!
