The Joinery was the first venue my now husband and I toured, and almost immediately we knew that it was the venue for us! We loved the mix of industrial and romantic vibes and could tell that it wouldn’t take much to make the space absolutely gorgeous (the huge skylight along with some string lights really turn the space into something out of a fairytale). We had 94 guests at our wedding and it felt like a perfect size. It was intimate without feeling cramped and we had plenty of room for a spacious dance floor. Shay is the venue manager at The Joinery and she is fantastic to work with. She was extremely responsive throughout our entire planning process and answered all our questions. She provided a list of recommended vendors off which we found all of our primary vendors (all of whom we absolutely loved). The alcohol package at the Joinery is superb and we loved that many of the drinks we got to choose from were local labels (our guests really appreciated this too!). We loved working closely with Molly (who handled the bar services at The Joinery) who did a drink tasting for us at our final walk through and came up with the most delicious cocktails for us to use as our signature drinks. The drink package we chose also included passed signature cocktails during our cocktail hour which helped to keep lines for the bar down and were a huge hit with our guests. One initial concern that I had about the venue was that since The Joinery is in a residential neighborhood there are limits on how loud the music can be (which is why you must choose one of their provided DJ recommendations). I was worried that the music would be noticeably quiet and that people wouldn’t want to dance - I want to assure anyone reading this that I was so SO wrong! The music did not seem too quiet at all and our dance floor was going strong until the final song played at midnight. We had a BLAST! Our wedding party also made used of the Mill House which is the rental directly next to the Joinery. It was so convenient for a getting ready location and for storing decor before and after the wedding. Overall we would highly recommend The Joinery - our wedding was beyond what we imagined and we would choose the Joinery over and over again!

I would have our wedding at The Joinery again in a heartbeat. The space was beautiful and Shay was so easy to work with. We did the lighting package and highly recommend it! It made the space even more beautiful! We also stayed at The Millhouse and it made an amazing amazing weekend for our entire family! It was the perfect place to get ready!! Do whatever you have to do to book this space. You won’t regret it.

The Joinery is such a magical and intimate space. We had our wedding there in July of 2022 and are so happy we chose this location. All the aesthetics are on point, and it’s so helpful that they have inventory of signs and other miscellaneous items you can use that fit their décor. It saves you money and from having to plan that stuff yourself, and it all goes so nicely together. I really hope they continue with sustainability and ease of planning as a priority! Shay was also wonderful and the whole process went smoothly. The sound system was also great. Lastly, the bar package – it was honestly one of the main reasons we chose the Joinery and it was INCREDIBLE. So reasonably priced for a 6 hour package and their bar manager, Molly, was so flexible on the signature cocktails. The wine options were phenomenal and overall our guests loved the bar!

Very nice venue space for outdoor or indoor events. There are at least 6 really nice restrooms as well.

We have a dedicated remote lot located 2 blocks from the venue. Most find nearby street parking is available so they do not use the lot, but there are 20 spaces there.
