Block 41

We chose Block 41 as the venue for our November wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Don and the team were a delight to work with and made sure that every detail of our wedding was a success. The two story space helped us have a seamless flow between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The lighting and natural materials give the venue an elegant feel. It’s spacious, well designed, and well equipped. Our guests loved the space and we loved bringing it to life with our design!

We apologize for the delay in posting this review, but we just returned from our honeymoon and moved, so it’s long overdue. The best decision we made during our wedding planning was booking Block 41. Don was absolutely amazing; he guided us throughout the entire process with grace and kindness, making our experience truly unforgettable. Although Don wasn’t available on our wedding day, hanna stepped in and was phenomenal. She provided incredible direction, and even without a wedding planner, she helped us navigate everything from start to finish. We encountered a few bumps along the way, but with her support, the day went by seamlessly. I cannot recommend Block 41 enough. The venue is stunning, the staff is exceptional, and we are incredibly grateful to have found this place. If I could give more than a five-star rating, I absolutely would! I wholeheartedly recommend Block 41 to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you, Don and Hanna, for everything! -The Jesmer’s

Josh and I hosted our wedding at Block41. Not only is the space beautiful but Don makes the experience, all the more worth it. He is relaxed, personable, hard working and caring… To say the least! So much of me wants to invite him and his family out for drinks, post our event. He is truly lovely to work with and I will be referring everyone to Don and his Block41 space, for any event. Thank you, Don.

We hosted our wedding here with 260+ guests, a food truck, and a live band and it was AMAZING! The ability to use both floors PLUS the courtyard made this venue equally spacious but intimate depending on what was needed and what your guests were looking for! Don was such a great person to work with. He is so helpful, supportive, and is very solution-oriented. I cannot say enough great things about him. He truly looks out for you and is a great host! Block 41 definitely made our dreams come true and we can't recommend it enough. Thanks Don!

If you’re looking for an incredible venue for your next event, look no further—Block 41 truly has it all! We just hosted our annual holiday party there, and although I was initially a bit hesitant about whether the space could accommodate everything we had planned, it turned out to be absolutely PERFECT. And the best part? Without question, the General Manager, Don. He is fantastic—creative, attentive, and an absolute joy to work with. Don offered thoughtful ideas throughout the planning process and even jumped in to help on the day of the event. I genuinely can’t say enough good things about him or about Block 41 as a whole. Highly recommend!

If you are planning a corporate event and are looking for a gorgeous venue, topnotch event coordination, and a perfect location in Seattle - Block41 is your space! Block41 provides an execution playbook with preferred vendors making choosing everything from catering to lighting and large graphic prints to photography a breeze and it's clear how well thought out their planning program is. Cannot recommend this place enough! I had an absolute blast planning with Don and I wish Don was at every venue I use because he is so thorough! He truly felt like an extension of my team and I was so grateful for his collaboration.

We hosted our Celebration of Women in Sports event at Block 41, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and deeply supportive. The venue itself is stunning—modern, versatile, and thoughtfully designed to accommodate both intimate moments and large-scale celebrations with ease. What truly sets Block 41 apart is their unparalleled customer service. The team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly. They were responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in the success of our event. From initial planning through to day-of logistics, we felt supported every step of the way. Their preferred vendor partners were equally impressive creative, reliable, and in perfect sync with the venue’s high standards. It felt like a true collaboration, and the result was an unforgettable evening for all involved. Dsquared and Blue Danube specifically. We highly recommend Block 41 to anyone looking for a venue that combines elegance, functionality, and world-class service. It was the perfect space to celebrate powerful women in sports, and we can’t wait to return.

We loved EVERYTHING about having our wedding at Block 41 in August 2022! The venue itself is stunning -- its "industrial chic" aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for and gives you lots of options to customize the look if you wish. It also includes many built-in amenities that help take your event to the next level (our DJ said it was an A/V dream!). The fact that Block 41 has two floors as well as the outdoor courtyard made it the perfect place to host our ~275 guests with everything running seamlessly. Beyond the venue itself, Heli, our point of contact, was a dream to work with -- responsive, flexible, friendly and experienced. She helped us with many aspects of the planning process and was there making sure everything went perfectly on the big day. We would 100% choose Block 41 again, and we recommend it to anyone looking to have a beautiful event in a super convenient Belltown location!

We had our wedding at Block 41 in February and the experience was absolutely perfect! We can't say enough about how beautiful the venue is. We rented the entire space and had our ceremony / reception upstairs with a cocktail hour downstairs (along with laser tag during the reception) for a wedding of about 200 guests. The event was seamless. We worked with Heli and she is a true professional and absolute delight. She was responsive throughout our planning process and helped us immensely in making our dream wedding a reality. We'd highly recommend, without hesitation, Block 41 to anyone considering!

The venue has wide open spaces that fit a lot of people, the staff seemed to be friendly enough. That being said, The small wooden folding chairs they have are very uncomfortable and some of them (Mine as well as several I saw), had glitter all over them from some other event which I now have on my slacks and I hope I can remove it all in the wash. This venue is nestled right in the middle of Belltown and I felt VERY uneasy about parking a vehicle in the closest parking lot as people were openly using drugs there. As I walked the short distance to the venue I also saw probably 10-15 other people doing drugs along the alley and even in front of the venue. you have a great business, but you are in a HORRIBLE location. NOT a family friendly neighborhood.

Had a candlelight concert here. Everything was great. I think it was organized by FEVER. I saw candlelight concert promoted in other states and it was more fancy with dining option (like in Florida on their instagram page) but since ticket was $35 I thought it wouldn't be anything big. Also there wasn't enough candles as it was in other states. The chair we sat was very stiff and it hurt to sit for 1 hour or maybe I am too skinny lol I guess all this imperfections is Fevers fault because Block 41 its just an event space. Good thing that we coud change seat and come closer because a lot of seats were empty. Overall was good to be out. Overall its a good event space with bathrooms and 2nd floor. We had to sit in the masks and it was hot even tho it was evening. I hope next time it will be optional to wear mask or not.

Wonderful venue once your inside. Parking is not provided. Late night walking to your car alone not advised. The building manager has great communication and awesome attitude. Perfect for weddings, parties, and celebrations. The kitchen set up (not in photos) is amazing. Full sized kitchens on both floors with a service stairwell. Loft / Urban vibe with plenty of space to make it your own for the night.

We visited a Candlelight concert here in the evening. I had paid for the highest tier ticket and we had what I thought was good seats. The problem was the venue. This location is not soundproof. This meant that 10 minutes into our concert there was a fight outside and we could hear the bottles smashing. 30 minutes in the garbage truck came by. 50 minutes a car alarm went off. The musicians were great, the concert itself had good tunes, the internal view was good but due to outside noise it was a clear miss. The seats on the inside that were provided were not comfortable as they were generic folding chairs. If you park nearby do not walk to your car alone at night. This is not a safe area. During the daytime this might be a completely different location, but after dark this is pretty gritty and not exactly quiet.

This was truly a new style venue. The design was ultra minimalist, bathed in beautiful glowing candlelight giving the environment a warm soothing feel. The instrumentalists were superb!! At one point they broke away from Vivaldi's Seasons and played a tango. Dancing ensued on the outer rim of the viewing circle, leaving the couple some privacy to feel comfortable dancing and not on display. It was a divine evening that lasted just the right amount of time sitting on folding chairs.

I had the pleasure of assisting with an event for a local nonprofit, held at Block 41 the other evening; what a delight! From the preview visit through to the end of the evening, Heli and her staff were there to ensure our success, how cool is that? The inside is very "industrial chic" (as it was an old ice factory, I believe) with just the right amount of wood and metal to still be inviting. Loved the roll up doors for easy loading and unloading of our auction items from my vehicle! They even found a giant ladder to help string the fairy lights from the ceiling to the "wine toss", see what I mean? Fantastic! People also loved the valet parking! No muss - no fuss; wait inside the entry until your vehicle arrives and off you go! Yay! Even their bathrooms are terrific! I would be thrilled to work with Heli and her troupe of merry helpers in the future!

This is a beautiful venue but no beverage service. Went to a concert by candlelight here and it didn't disappoint.

Terrible event planning. Awful crowd management with huge waits and lines for food and drink. Incredibly understaffed. Maybe ok for a group of 20-30 anything larger and expect logistics to collapse. Totally inept. Should add with all concrete and glass walls conversation without yelling is almost impossible.

This was my first visit to Block 41, and I was quite impressed with the space. You wouldn't know it by looking at it from the outside, but this is a beautiful indoor space for special events. Stylish, trendy, and understated. I came here for a OnePlus fan event, and I don't know if the catering was in-house or brought in, but the food they served was absolutely delicious. The little bacon sliders are to die for!

A simple, unassuming, spacious, elegant, contemporary and conveniently event space in Belltown. Ease access, simple pallet of steel and wood makes this place adapt to most events and personalities. An elegant steel stair draws one from entrance to the upper level hall. Creative lighting design complement accent white painted brick wall by the stair. There is amazing outdoor event stage with sliding gate access, a seattle and mount Rainier graphics that personalize the Forum. Jordan, you got an amazing venue. Love to visit in the future for some event. Thanks.

Wonderful spacious event space. Good size upstairs and downstairs. Helpful to have two separate spaces but each is big enough for large events. Flexible decor that is industrial modern and elegant.

Loud, nearly impossible to have a conversation. With the money they're raking in, should invest in soundproofing. The group I was with didn't find it aesthetically appealing. It's a big loud warehouse masquerading as sophisticated architecture. (We had a couple of architects with us.)

I attended an absolutely wonderful catering/event showcase here last night -- it was a chance for guests to enjoy the event space and sample items from Block 41's preferred caterers and vendors (valet, live music, sweet treats, photographers, audio/visual, florists, and so on -- all were on display, some with little take-home goodies like s'mores-covered giant marshmallows on a stick! Check out the website for more details). It is a gorgeous space, in a great location, with a lot of unusual little details, one example being the secret garden in the Courtyard; definitely had a European vibe to it that I loved. Would highly recommend this space for anyone needing to host an event -- corporate, private, even photo shoots (like making a yoga video). The caterer sponsoring the event -- Cameron Catering -- in particular was serving absolutely delicious Middle eastern cuisine of chicken tagine with couscous (the theme last night was "A Global Street Fair). One thing that really struck me was their slogan, "Where Food Celebrates Life". TL DR: I have missed out on many celebrations over the years due to various health issues, the cocoon of being a stay at home parent, but most importantly - I used to decline invitations to things like this out of fear of looking the wrong way, saying the wrong thing, or what have you. The magic of the evening has really gotten me excited about putting myself out there again!

the holiday company party was held at block 41. I loved this location because it brought me back to my european vacation with the art and the culture. The food was very good I loved the chili station I like the Asian food that was provided it was all very good I have no complaints. I love the outdoor deck with the beautiful mural on the wall of Seattle I enjoyed the heaters on the outside patio I enjoyed the DJ and the music and the lives sculptures they were really cool.

The elegance and detailed care taken in creating a fascinating, fun, easy, sophisticated, accommodating, convenient, and fabulous venue for anything your great room cannot handle. Do it. Just call and make an appointment to chat.

Attended a wine and whisky event there and found the venue great. Very spacious and well decorated. Good location and very clean. The only gripe was parking but that's expected in DT Seattle. Glad that they had security since the neighborhood can get sketchy after dark.
