We hosted a small business holiday market, Maker Magic Seattle, at Block 41 and it was amazing! Beth answered all of our questions and was there every step of the way helping us plan out the event. For the day of Heli was around all day to answer questions and deal with any issues that arose. We will absolutely be booking Block 41 again, our guests couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful the space was.

Such a great experience. The space is so unique and really premium; they include so much of what other venues make you rent (furniture, lighting, AV) and they have a stellar outdoor/open air space that is perfect for COVID era events. Beth is an amazing event manager and really helped make our experience exceptional. Thanks for a great day - highly recommend!

We have utilized Block 41 for multiple corporate video shoots now and we have had a great experience each time. The venue manager, Heli, is very communicative on the details and procedures. She responds quickly to questions and collaborates with us on our unique needs. Their in house capabilities are ideal with full kitchens on each level and clean, modern restroom facilities. I would highly recommend them for any type of event including corporate productions.

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

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.

Block 41 has been an incredible venue to work with! I worked with Block 41 on a series of concerts we rented out the space for between June and September for a total of 25 dates. Beth has been a joy to work with and has consistently gone above and beyond to help us every step of the way from pre-planning advice to onsite support. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning and event in the Seattle area!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.
