Block 41

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!

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!

Beautiful venue for any occasion. Highly recommend for any party, event, fundraiser, or even wedding reception. It's modern, very clean and the location is great. Parking is a bit pricey, but it is Belltown and it can't helped. I would definitely have my events there!

I came here for the @scale conference the other day. The venue was great and so were speakers. The location was easy to find and everything was well organized. The audio and projector can be comfortable seen and heard from the back area. I had a great time and enjoy the conference.

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.

This venue is incredible for any size special event! Very well set up and nicely spaced out as well. Two levels with an elevator makes it perfect for a large event needing multiple areas... Or for hosting two smaller events at the same time. The venue amazing, the staff was easy to work with and they let us do our thing offering helpful tips and such when appropriate. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!!

This space is beautiful with lots of character, and natural light. The outdoor courtyard with the Seattle mural was a nice touch to the vibe of our event. The Block 41 staff (Beth, Heli, Claire, and Samantha, Blue Danube) were all lovely to work with and professional through and through. They very genuinely seemed to want for our event to be a success and to support us in order to make it so. Be aware if you are considering an event here, that Block 41 have a list of vendors they prefer clients use for their events which may or may not be an issue for your event, but it's worth noting if you already have certain vendors booked or in mind to use. There is further info about it on their website, but as with anything just be sure to ask a lot of questions about all details when event planning. Other reviewers have made mention of not feeling safe in the neighborhood, but for those who are already city dwellers, sadly I don't think it seemed any more so than other parts of Seattle or in certain areas of other major cities. As the owner previously responded to another reviewer, it is part of a much larger conversation within Seattle and the world as a whole which is beyond Block 41's control. We hired a security guard and had no issues. This is a charming event space with lots of personality and well worth considering for weddings, parties, conferences, and events of all shapes.

This space is absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect venue for our wedding and it had everything we needed! Heli was amazing and made our day easy for us and our vendors!

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!

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.
