Venue Setting

Industrial Elegance on the City's Waterfront. Picture this: 9,300 square feet of concrete floors, large, exposed wooden beams, significant windows with waterfront views, and high vaulted ceilings. Originally built in the 1940s, and once known as the Pipefitters building, where systems were laid out for new ships, the Pipe Shop at the Shipyards is an exquisite restored heritage building, now available for weddings and special events. The beautiful, rustic pillars and expansive vaulted ceilings give it a very trendy industrial look and feel. The building’s beauty stands alone, however the location is also ideal. Located on North Vancouver’s waterfront, with a view of Vancouver skyline, an abundance of parking and beautiful surrounding elements (Shipyards Plaza, Burrard Dry Dock, Lonsdale Quay Market), make the Pipe Shop at the Shipyards the hottest new venue in Vancouver. Only recently available for private functions, this location boasts unparalleled exclusivity and excitement.

Perfect Penmanship at the Pipe Shop
We have to disclose our love for Laura before we even begin gushing about her spectacular workshops! As some of you may know, we were once event planners prior to our foray into The Venue Report world. She has penned many spectacular invitations, menus and signs for us, including many pieces at our founders wedding!  To say we are fans of Laura Hooper Calligraphy is the understatement of the century. She is truly a ninja-like-genius with pen and ink and who doesn't want to learn from a master right?
