Overall the venue was beautiful. The exposed brick and view of the city were exactly what we were looking for! The space held our 110 guests easily, with plenty of space for everyone comfortably! The rooftop photos are AMAZING!! Cons: Our main contact changed a few months after we booked and so we ended up having to work with someone new. We were originally told we could get in the day before to setup, but that fell through and we needed to hire someone to setup day of for us. The Bobby and Steve’s parking lot they advertise to rent is only available after 5pm during the week! Also if your having a summer wedding the air conditioners will not keep the place cool! The high was 70 degrees on our September wedding and the second floor was very warm!!

Day Block was the perfect location for our wedding reception. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. With our late September ceremony being outdoors the risk of rain was high. Day Block was great to have as an alternate ceremony location. They helped us make a back-up plan, setting our minds at ease. The space itself is beautiful, with its warm brick walls and large, picturesque windows. With our 150+ guest the room felt full but not crowded. One of my favorite things Day Block offered was the option to pick our own caterer. This helped to keep our reception unique and on theme (we had charcuterie boards with our Harvest theme). However, ordering late night pizzas from the facility was one of the best decisions we made. They were delicious and helped to keep the party going. It was also great having the venue so close to many great hotel options. We went with the Marriott, who provided a shuttle to and from the venue. Overall Day Block was the perfect fit for us and we coul... Read moredn't have been happier on our big day!

Beautiful venue with multiple rooms that allows for flexibility. Prime location. Staff was great on day of lending a helping hand in whatever way to make sure event went off without a hitch!

This was a perfect place for my wedding reception! It was absolutely gorgeous! The balcony was great for guests to be able to take a break from the party and get some fresh air! I loved the huge windows and exposed brick walls! It was a beautiful venue for a beautiful wedding!

We were pleased with our experience hosting our wedding reception at Day Block Event Center. With its high ceilings, exposed brick, and beams from which to hang Christmas / Edison bulb lights, Day Block is gorgeous and trendy without feeling too stuffy. Its downtown Minneapolis location means it doesn't come cheap, and a lack of staff means you will need to either clean up yourself or hire someone to do it. But there are other ways in which Day Block was a money-saver. Chiefly, they don't charge you to bring in outside vendors, so we were free to save on a more affordable caterer. Beyond that, there are many wonderful things about Day Block. We loved that it was located right above Day Block Brewing Co., both because we love craft beer and because the full bar downstairs meant guests could get any drink they wanted that wasn't available at our bar. The balcony and cocktail room meant guests weren't all confined to one space, and brought variety to the night. The roof made for an ama...

The Day Block staff we worked with, while not too flexible, were prompt & straightforward. In addition, the presence of a rentable parking lot nearby (through Bobby & Steve's) means guests don't need to scramble for street parking and put themselves at risk of a ticket. Overall, we enjoyed our experience hosting through Day Block and would recommend it to anyone for whom location is a priority.

We loved our wedding here. It had great character and allowed you to bring in any caterer and your own alcohol (big money saver). We had a few hiccups with the venue but was able to get it all figured out. The new coordinator, Cassidy, is very responsive! We had an amazing and fun wedding there!

It is a beautiful blank slate kind of venue. They allow you to bring in your own liquor as long as you get insurance for it which saves a ton of money. Their catering pricing are reasonable but they also allow you to bring in outside catering. It can sometimes be hard to get them on the phone but once you get in email contact they will answer any questions you might have.

Day Block was a perfect place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. First off, I loved that Day Block puts its rates and calendar on its website so you know going into contacting them 1) what the price is; and 2) what days they have available. When we contacted them, the even coordinator Kassie was extremely helpful about getting us in to look at the space and answering questions. The great thing about Day Block is how you could do exactly what you wanted for decorating, catering, alcohol, setup. They let you bring in your own caterer and supply your own alcohol and bartender. It really helped to bring the cost down to do a lot of things ourselves. The only issue is you need to do your own setup the day of the ceremony because they have events almost every day and so you can only get access on the day of your ceremony. However they were really great about letting us into the space really early (7:00 a.m.) the day of our ceremony and didn't charge anything extra. Our e... Read morevent size was probably the max that the space should have. We had about 115 people and they were just able to fit in the small ceremony room and they were just able to fit the food tables, bar, buffet and dance floor in the other large room. They have a lot of supplies there as far as tables and chairs and they even have a little bar to use. Kassie the even coordinator was so good about responding to all of our questions both mine and my mother's. She also was there at 7am on the day of the ceremony helping us set up. Also, fun note, dogs are allowed at the event center. Our dog was the ring-bearer.

Day Block was a perfect venue for our wedding! The exposed bricks and beams are beautiful - so many compliments! We used the smaller room as our ceremony room which worked out perfect for the size of our wedding, which was just over 100 people. We also used Day Block Brewery for or catering. Their food is amazing and it worked out great that the kitchen was right down the stairs, and their staff set up and took down the tables. The Day Block staff were all very nice and accommodating but not the most responsive to emails, which made my husband and I nervous at times. They don't focus on every detail until about a month before your wedding which had me worried in the months leading up to it. However, the event came together so smoothly and was absolutely beautiful and flawless on the day of! I would definitely recommend Day Block for both the reception and ceremony.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue – the location downtown, the exposed brick, and the original wood floors were all exactly what we had been looking for! The flexible space allowed us to host both our reception and ceremony for about 85 people in the same location without having to turn over any rooms, and the ability to use any caterer and bring in our own alcohol was an awesome cost-saver.

Use a different vendor. I wish I could give zero stars. My daughter planned to have her wedding at Day Block Event Center. We paid the $5k six weeks before the wedding as contracted. Found out five weeks before the wedding that a noise metal festival was taking place right next to the building. Owner said he didn't know anything about it. I don't buy that. He has a responsibility to his clients to know what is going on next door esp for a wedding. He refused to refund a penny. We moved the event to Solar Arts. Yes, we lost $5k!! Did not acknowledge our letters, yet his contract stipulates noise requirements for the users! This is a music sample from that day....Do yourself a favor and use another vendor.

Day Block Event Center is a DIY bride's DREAM! After looking at a number of venues in the Twin Cities, we couldn't find anything that beat out the cost, location and ability to customize the space to fit our needs. We were able to choose our caterer, bring in our own alcohol, and were even able to serve desserts made by my fiance's mother. The fact that tables and chairs are provided as part of the rental agreement was also a huge cost-saver. As a note, we had approximately 140 guests and found that it was just the right amount of people to fit the space for both a ceremony and reception.

We used the Day Block Event Center for our wedding reception this past weekend, and it was wonderful!! We were looking for a venue where we could bring in our own caterer and alcohol, primarily so that we could have a food truck cater the event and save on the drinks bill. The venue fit our 120 guests comfortably and we did not have to do any reshuffling of the tables. The food truck parked in the back parking lot and used the stairs to ferry food up to the second floor. We were able to use one of the back rooms for the food service, so it was visually removed from the party, but still very accessible. The exposed brick and metal lent itself to minimal decorations and the tables and chairs were in such good condition that we didn't even use linens!! Day Block is within walking distances of several hotels, so it was easy for our out-of-town guests to access as well.

I'm so happy I got married at Day Block! The event space is beautiful and the service is great. I got a ton of compliments on how amazing the food was too!
