Welcome to the Historic Watson Block Wedding & Event Center in Minneapolis, MN

Watson Block is a wonderful place for any event! The beautiful room with its full windows and chandeliers makes it warm and elegant. Having the ceremony and reception in the same room made it unique and memorable for all guests. The coordinators were helpful and friendly, something that adds much to the success of any event. Visit the venue and see if it would be the perfect place for your event!!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Watson Block. We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful our venue was! Watson Block is such an elegant and unique space. We toured many other venues and nothing stood out like Watson Block does. Watson Block made our day feel so special. It’s also a great price.It was the perfect size for our guest list of around 90 people. There was plenty of space to mingle and dance. Gaby was amazing to work with and everything went so smooth on the day of! I would recommend Watson Block to everyone.

We loved working with Watson Block for our wedding! Gaby and the whole team were so helpful in working together with us to answer any questions we had and guide us through the whole process. the space itself is beautiful and took almost no work on our end to get it looking perfect for the big day. Good location downtown with pretty easy parking and nearby hotels for guests. 10/10 would be recommend!

Beautiful space for a variety of events, staff are great to work with, and we were also a fan of the venue’s preferred vendors that we worked with (catering, valet, A/V).

The whole Watson Block team was amazing and answered every question I had along the way. They were so accommodating and able to get back to me within 24 hours most times. We had the most amazing wedding in such a beautiful space. The chandeliers and drapes made for stunning pictures and we were able to use an arbor that was included in the venue rental. It’s a great location downtown and easy for our guests to get to and from when staying at a nearby hotel. I highly recommend Watson Block!
