We could not have been more happy with the way the owners handled the event center during COVID. The space is beautiful with tall ceilings, brink interior, and plenty of natural light. Although we had a smaller wedding the space was perfect for 30-150+. The space made for amazing pictures as well being very convenient for our guests to arrive and our caterers/bartenders to serve. They went above and beyond allowing us to move up our wedding date 24 hrs within 48 hrs notice. We recommend this space for any wedding/reception/event. (They also have great beer downstairs).

What a gorgeous space to have our wedding. We really wanted to get married in a historical space with a lot of character and this was it! We were allowed to decorate the way we wanted and bring in our own caterer (Indian) since the brewpub didn't offer that.

We got married in early Fall and took pictures over at the Mill City ruins after our ceremony as well as overlooking the city from the rooftop of Day Block. I appreciated the flexibility and easy going attitude of this place - we had looked at a few older building spaces but this one really felt right! I'd recommend this venue to anyone!

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 couldn'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!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Barb is the day-of coordinator who is also the manager of the restaurant on the main floor (Spill the Wine) is such a joy to work with! She loves what she does and does it with such excitement and joy. They are flexible to creative ideas; for example, my husband and I had our first date at the state fair and so we wanted our food to be an elegant version of state fair foods, essentially, anything "on a stick" and the chef created a shrimp pup with wasabi for us, it wasn't even on the menu! Barb is great when it comes to responsiveness, sometimes I'd get an e-mail response within hours! She always acts like she's happy to see you and it was truely refreshing to find a place that used the word
"CAN", not "CAN'T". On another note, they don't require that you use their restaurant for the catering, it was just easier and absolutely out of this world delicious (not that we got to eat much on our big day)!! The only suggestion I have is get your conversations them in writing. There were some mis-communications between Barb and the building owner that caused us some stress so get it all down and/or make sure Barb gives you a copy of her notes from the conversation (in-person especially)

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 event 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.

They were super flexible the day before and day of and the space is soo beautiful. It needs little decoration - we hung lights on the ceiling and that was pretty much it. Price was reasonable and definitely one of the cheaper options in Minneapolis as we were able to bring in homebrewed beer and Pizza Luce. They have increased the price since we booked with them about a year before our wedding, so I'm not sure if the value is still there.
The size of the space was perfect for our wedding of 125. We had the ceremony in the large room, then a cocktail hour in the small room, while the large room was rearranged for dinner. I think any more than 140 people would be too many for this space. It was also about 70 degrees on our wedding day and the AC was able to keep up. I think if you were getting married in the middle of summer with warmer weather and more people there would not be enough room and it might be too warm. We really enjoyed having our wedding here, but keep the couple items I mentioned above in mind.

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!

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.
