    Absolutely Wonderful and DIY Friendly!

    My wife and I happened upon this gem while browsing through WeddingWire one afternoon. On a whim, we decided to make the trip and go check it out. I am SO glad we did! This space was everything we had dreamed of and Anni was absolutely WONDERFUL. We really appreciated that it was truly DIY and we could make our visions of what our special day would look like come true! I HIGHLY recommend this venue.

    Thank you for sharing your lovely photos, and for letting us know that we were part of making your day special! We wish you all the best!

    Flinn Block helped make our day everything we dreamed of.

    There was alot of stress being a bride in the year 2020. The Flinn block helped in every way they could. It was everything I dreamed my day would be even with new state guidelines. I highly recommend using this beautiful venue for that special day. The dressing rooms helped all of us be comfortable while we prepared for our event. The lightening and spacious area where our wedding and reception was gave a cozy atmosphere. I highly reccomend using the Flinn Block.

    Budget and DIY friendly, beautiful venue, great to work with

    Flinn Block Hall is a wonderful choice for couples looking for more DIY options. The hall is reasonably priced, and has options to add things if needed. This means you won’t be paying for things you don’t need. You can rent a whole day or by the hour (there is a minimum for hours rented but I forget how many). Dressing rooms are add on so if you don’t need them you don’t pay for them. We needed them and paid for them. There is no kitchen and no cooking allowed. Wasn’t a problem for us, but can be for some. I’ve heard some complain that the two dressing rooms being next to each other makes it hard to not accidentally see each other. We had no issues, just have someone let the other know to stay in the room for a few minutes. Super photogenic building! Gorgeous brick walls, real wood floors, and as my friend put it, “Romantic windows.” Anni was great to work with. She has a lot going on, obviously, but real down to earth and gets things done. Contracts are straightforward and thorough. Unfortunately, she wasn’t available to be there at our wedding but her helper, JoAnn, was excellent. She was ready to help and quite chill which is the kind of person you’ll want on your side when so many things are happening at once. Only thing we found inconvenient was they don’t accept any cards, just cash or check. Otherwise, we had a great experience. One of my easiest vendors to work with. One piece of advice is to not over-decorate the venue. It’s gorgeous on its own, you just need some main pieces that make it yours. Happy days!

    Perfect experience

    I couldn't have been happier with Flinn Block Hall. We had plenty of time to get everything ready and clean up afterwards, and the space was perfect for both ceremony and reception. Anni made us feel like beloved friends, and everything went just beautifully. 10/10 would recommend all day.

    Flinn Block Hall's reply:

    Wow, so glad we made you feel like that! And omigosh, all those beautiful dahlias! I seriously can't wait to see your pictures, your wedding was very special :)

    Beautiful venue!

    I wish I could re-live my special day again. Weddings are expensive even in the simplest forms. Flinn Block Hall is very fair priced and the place is BEAUTIFUL! Other venues I looked into were over priced and not as nice. I would recommend Flinn Block Hall to everyone and Anni was such a sweetheart and answered and my questions and always responded to my emails. So thank you for my beautiful memories Flinn Block Hall!!!!

    Flinn Block Hall's reply:

    Your wedding was beautiful, and I'm so glad you made great memories! All the best, and thank you for letting others know. :)

    The venue is beautiful, you don't need alot of decorations to make it look nice. Maybe just a little to make the event special for you. Great location, and the vendor was always professional and flexible with my schedule. Definitely recommend.

    Works great for professional photographers

    The Flinn Hall is the best place we know in Albany to host a wedding! We've shot in the Flinn Hall many, many times and love the exposed brick, the grand staircase and the ornate wainscoting. Antique hardwood floors round out the look beautifully. We highly recommend this location!

    This place is wonderful! I fell in love with it the minute we walked up the stairs. It is very spacious and is open and bright. The owner was very accommodating. We would highly recommend this venue to other couples for their special day.

    Excellent Venue for a Wedding

    Flinn Block Hall is a perfect place to have a small wedding. Our daughter was wed there last October; the hall was large enough to fulfil everything she dreamed for her wedding: Vows exchanged by the windows, buffet dining with an open bar, and still have enough room for a dance floor and a DJ.
    Flinn Block Hall is a venue that fits any style of wedding you decorate it be, formal, chic, country, casual.... because the building is a modernized old building,
    I recommend Flinn Block Hall for couples wanting to have it all in one place.

    Flinn Block Hall was the perfect venue for our October 1st wedding. The historic building is beautiful and all of the twinkling lights inside are so pretty. Even though the room is spacious, it felt intimate and romantic for our evening event. Additionally, we were happy with how accessible the venue is for our elderly grandparents.

    Anni was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She was always quick to respond to email or text and had lots of helpful information for us. She was also very flexible and tried to accommodate us however she could. She was both professional and friendly.

    I would definitely recommend Flinn Block to others. We couldn't have been happier with the venue, it helped make our wedding day so magical!

    We were so happy to host your lovely wedding here! Thanks so much for sharing your experience here at Flinn Block Hall with other brides & grooms looking for their dream location. :)

    Flinn Block Hall was ideal for both the ceremony and reception for my daughter's wedding. With 150 guests arriving around 5PM on a Thursday in a downtown location, I was concerned about parking which proved to be a non-issue with plenty of nearby on street spaces as well as a large lot directly across the street. The hall is tastefully and simply decorated, tables and chairs provided are comfortable, and the floor plan is very spacious. The bride's dressing room has multiple dressing tables and plenty of space for 6 bridesmaids, a bride and a photographer! Mostly, when planning the wedding it seemed like the things to do exceeded the time we had to do them. Anni was immediately responsive to our last minute requests, providing us with access to the facility on short notice and on even shorter notice providing a wedding arch. She was gracious throughout the wedding, available for our every need. She was delightful to work with! Thank you Flinn Block Hall!

    Flinn Block Hall's reply:

    It was our pleasure to host your daughter's wedding here, and we are so glad that you were delighted with us. Thank you for taking the time to let other interested brides and grooms know about what we provide here. And best wishes to your daughter and son-in-law!

    We celebrated my parents 50th wedding renewal in July at the Historic Flinn Block Hall. The building is modern with a timeless flare of beautiful historic original hardwood floors and gorgeous exposed trusses with twinkling lights, plus two kitchen areas, His and Hers spacious dressing rooms for bride and groom and all our guests relaxed in the temperature controlled air conditioning for our summer event. Perfect on so many levels. Vendors we're friendly and helpful throughout our event. Thank you so much Anni for helping us make this wedding anniversary a reality. We look forward to doing business with you again!

    Flinn Block Hall's reply:

    The privilege of sharing a glimpse into wonderful family relationships, no less the love and commitment of over 50 years between two childhood sweethearts like your parents, is truly the best part of running a venue specializing in romantic celebrations. Thank you for taking the time to let others know about your experience, and we look forward to hosting another event for your family!

    Flinn Block Hall offered a gorgeous location for our spring wedding. The space offered a gorgeous wood floor, brick walls and tons of perfectly positioned natural light, which facilitated amazing photos with minimal decoration effort. The space was the perfect size for our medium sized wedding and offered all the amenities we needed with the dressing rooms, caterers prep space, and long beautiful wet bar. This was definitely the perfect venue for our special day.

    We recently had our wedding at Flinn Block Hall. Everything turned out wonderful. It is a great open space for a wedding and reception. The hanging lights that are already provided by Flinn Block add a lot to the room and you really don't need a lot of decorating. We focused on the table centerpieces and some smaller details. We had several young children there and the open room and dance floor gave them plenty of space to move around. The building itself is old with a lot of character which was perfect for pictures. I would definitely recommend Flinn Block for any large (or small) event that you may be hosting.

    We had our wedding reception at the Flinn Block Hall. The hall is amazingly beautiful. I found that working with Anni was very easy and all services were professional and this site provided all that we needed. We met with Anni and she provided us with a contract that explained everything in precise, easy to understand terms. Anni always was available to ask questions and always answered in a timely manner.
    Our whole experience with the Flinn Block Hall was amazing and memorable. Anyone looking for a beautiful venue will be totally impressed and happy if they chose Flinn Block Hall for their special occasion.

    My daughter and son in law knew as soon as they saw Flinn Block Hall it was the place they wanted to have their wedding. It was so nice having the entire event in one place. The wedding was beautiful, the lighting at Flinn Block Hall for an evening wedding made the ceremony perfect plus it has a great set up for a DJ and catering company. The catering company was able to prepare dinner on site and we never noticed them coming and going. The wedding pictures are beautiful but once you see the building you will understand. The management at Flinn Block Hall is professional and friendly. Anni kept in touch with us during the months before the wedding making sure any questions or concerns we had were addressed. The wedding turned out to be exactly what we wanted - a beautiful venue where our friends could share a special evening with us.

    This was a beautfiul venue for our wedding! The space is amazing and requires very little decorating and it accomodated our 120 guests quite nicely. The cost was great and we really appreciated the ability to use our own catering company. Anni with Flinn Block Hall was also very friendly and easy to work with. If I ever had questions, she had answers - and always within a very timely manner. I would recommend this venue to anyone needing a unique and beautiful space for a wedding or event!
