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.

Perfect venue for an intimate celebration
Blockhouse was the perfect little venue for the small and intimate wedding that we were going for. The biggest draw was the open kitchen, which was perfect because we wanted food to play an important role in the night, Being able to see the chefs cooking and plating brought an exciting atmosphere to the night. The whole space was the right mix of modern and classic, and the space came alive once we brought our decor in. We also rented out the nursery space for the ceremony, which made such a lovely backdrop for the ceremony.

Perfect Fit for Our Special Day
This venue is a dream! It was the perfect size for our ceremony (70 guests) and we were able to have a therapy llama and alpaca at our wedding, which early on in the planning process quickly became a must for me lol. Blockhouse is the perfect union of nature and modern, beautiful architecture. We could not have imagined a better venue to represent both of our aesthetics. The ability to have an indoor/outdoor space was imperative to our vision and Blockhouse delivered! Emily was wonderful to work with and was right there with me every step of the way. She was responsive and gave great guidance on how to arrange the venue to best suit our vision for the day. The bar staff were also amazing! They offered to heat up a bottle for my 8 month old nephew and were so attentive to all of the guests. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff. I would absolutely recommend Blockhouse to anyone looking to host their event - wedding, dinner, party or otherwise, in their lush, beautiful, and truly unique space.
