About

Pique Travel Design - Event Space is a rustic wedding venue located in Excelsior, Minnesota. Originally constructed in the 1940s as a lumber warehouse, this property underwent an extensive renovation in 2014. The administration retained many of the building’s original features which now add to the historic charm of this venue for special occasions.

Facilities and Capacity

Pique Travel Design - Event Space can accommodate all kinds of wedding celebrations, such as engagement parties, pre-wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, elopements, ceremonies, and receptions. This property boasts over 3,000 square feet of event space that couples can utilize for their nuptial occasion. This extensive space is perfect for a full day of events, allowing you to easily host your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here. The space features original wood flooring marked with pallet markings that honor the building’s original function. The 10-foot-high windows allow natural light to flood this space and illuminate heartfelt occasions held within. This venue also benefits from a poured concrete built-in tiered bar, sliding stable doors, and a wooden barrel ceiling. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace here can provide a beautiful wedding ceremony focal point. Outdoors, the deck area is ideal for a relaxed cocktail hour in the open air. Afterward, guests can transition back to the indoor space for the main reception, which can be laid out in any style that you desire. Our space works best at a maximum of 130 for a plated meal and 110 for a buffet meal. Mingling cocktail receptions or open-house style events can have a larger capacity.

Pique Travel Design - Event Space aims to make your wedding experience as stress-free as possible with its array of services. The rental of this venue includes the full event space, a range of event furniture, state-of-the-art AV equipment, parking, WIFi, and much more.

Bridal shower perfection

We couldn’t be more pleased with Dana and her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Pique had everything we needed AND a few things we forgot. THANK YOU Dana and Pique for helping us host the perfect large bridal shower.

Excellent Reception Venue

My husband and I were looking for a venue that was unique and also reasonably priced for our wedding reception and Pique Travel checked those boxes and so many more!
We absolutely loved this venue! It’s well located in Excelsior (super close to Lake Minnetonka and all the restaurants and shops, plus there was plenty of parking)! The space is perfect and fit the unique/modern rustic look we were interested in. Dana, the event coordinator is super quick with communication and answered any questions we had. She recommended all the vendors we ended up using and we were incredibly pleased with them all.
I would definitely recommend using Pique Travel for any wedding or other event!

Cozy Reception Site

We were so happy that we chose Pique Travel for our reception site for our wedding. We wanted a really cozy vibe, so Pique was the perfect choice for our medium-sized, 80 person wedding. Our guests really liked the warm and intimate vibe that Pique Travel provided...hardly anyone left our reception early! It was also a pleasure to work with the owner Linda, she was extremely helpful, personal, and flexible.

We LOVED our experience!

We originally had a large wedding planned at another venue. Due to COVID, we had to downsize our guest list. We wanted a more intimate wedding venue to fit the smaller guest list. With the help of a City of Excelsior staff person, they pointed us to Pique. Dana was extremely welcoming and beyond helpful! She helped to make the days leading up to our wedding day stress free. The venue, itself, it beautiful! It is also is such an ideal location. We got ready and had our ceremony at Pique. After, we headed down to the lake and went on a dinner boat cruise. Thank you Pique for the beautiful event space! We are beyond happy with how our wedding turned out!

Such an amazing experience with Pique Travel. They were very accommodating and helped me when my wedding plans were in shambles due to COVID-19. Dana is great to work with as well!

In the pursuit of finding a venue, I was feeling drained... Couldn't find anything that fit our style, and felt like our wedding was "just another customer". I found Pique, and my despair turned in to pure excitement!! The owner is unbelievably wonderful and accommodating; she always made me feel the most important, and made the venue set-up and take-down free of stress for me. She did an unbelievable job setting things up, and offered such great advice and support a long the way. I cannot say enough good stuff about our experience! We received so many compliments about how beautiful and unique the venue was! It was truly the best day ever, in the best building and location ever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
