Gorgeous venue!

Gorgeous venue! The greenhouse with the plants and flowers looked beautiful on our wedding day! I loved how reasonable the space was. The nursery has a roof and collapsable walls if it’s too hot, and you can rent heaters if it’s too cold. The Blockhouse space also has a roof, heaters, and plenty of room for a decent dance floor. The inside space is very roomy. We rented the plant wall to fill out the area behind our ceremony. We also paid for the extra hour before our event for family photos. All in all a very reasonably priced venue. Everyone thought it was beautiful, and I agree.

Amazing intimate wedding venue

If you have a wedding under 100 guests, look no further than this venue. We recently tied the knot in early October with 70 people on our guest list and it was absolute perfection. Each and every one of my guests commented on how perfect it was. Blockhouse was the only venue we looked at - we knew the moment we walked in that it was the space. After booking, Emily and her team were impeccable. From helping bring the vision to life to day-of - everything was flawless. Huge thank you to this team for all of their hard work and wonderful customer service. Seriously, if you want a romantic venue and you have a smaller guest list, book this place!

Hidden gem of a venue

I can not say enough about the staff and the venue at Blockhouse PDX - their level of professionalism was outstanding, and they worked so well with our other vendors to make the whole planning process smooth for me. The venue was absolutely perfect for our 30-person wedding, and I loved that we were in a garden rather than being drowned out by a traditional ballroom. It was the perfect space for our intimate wedding, and I could not have asked for a better place to get married.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
