About this vendor
Prideful of it’s spacious floor plan, BLOC Venue invites all romance and creativity into it’s <black-framed> doors. Not only do we love weddings, but we invite any and all affairs. We want all gatherings held at BLOC to be as unique as the people behind the events.
Romantically urban with a touch of modernism, BLOC is minimal by nature. It’s up to the creator to add as they please. Exposed ceiling and support beams make it effortless to hang robust or delicate installations. Not your typical red brick wall, the white-washed offset patterned brick gives you an original backdrop. With matte concrete floors, rustic circular chandeliers, and black-framed windows + doors, the stunning elements of BLOC help to elevate each celebration.

Beautiful venue...ugly staff. Ruined our wedding night by constantly harassing my wife during the event. Staff followed guests around and did not treat us as the "ideal" clients th...
ey prefer whatever that means (I'm thinking race). Contract says 24hr block for rental 10am-10am but in reality doors closed at 1am although advised but another staff member we could stay as long as needed which was 2am due to families not wanting to have small children outside at 2am in a sketchy industrial neighborhood at best. Requested 1000 damage deposit and states it costs them over $250 for vomit cleaning in bathroom and for the extra hour that we were told we could stay as we were cleaning up. Told my wife the vendors we hired hated her although they all gave us their personal numbers and continue to contact us as friends. Staff got into an argument with my wife at the end while saying goodbye to guests.
In reading past reviews it's apparent we have not been the only ones. Just read their rude replies to reviews. Never their fault. Refund was to be within 3-10 days and has not happened. Had to send formal demand letter which they in returned said they are still getting the invoice for the vomit cleaning 10 days later? Yea ok. I honestly believe it's a scam to pocket another 1000. And now are threatening legal action for alleged "rudeness" on my wife's end. I was never even introduced to the staff the day of and the coordinator agreed this is how they "operate". Although there was vomit it doesn't cost $250+ to clean and sure as he'll doesn't give you rights to the rest of the deposit.
All in all, we are already headed to small claims court and will be contacting better business bureau as well as leaving reviews to make sure people don't fall for the image they portray. Such a beautiful venue to be ruined by amateur and petty staff.
I wish I wasn't so busy with family at the time with my wedding and all to really take names of the staff who said we can stay "as long as you need" and to verify the rude woman who got into it with my wife.
Once they get your money the ugly comes out. Future couples feel free to reach me for more info.
***OH BTW they have video cameras and watch you during your event that we were unaware of...kinda creepy when they send you screenshots when you didn't know you were being watched extra careful ***
And no we weren't a "sketchy" bunch...we had several law enforcement officers/families in the group.
Brides be ready to be told to clean bathrooms and floors in your gown by some pushy lady who listens to private conversations. Creepy.
We booked BLOC venue 5 days before our wedding after inclement weather forecasts made us unsure of our previous outdoor reception plans. Thank God we had BLOC and Leela Rea to step...
in and save the day. The venue is beautiful and spacious enough to make all of our guests feel comfortable and able to socially distance in the midst of COVID. Leela Rea and her team were incredibly helpful and generous in assisting us with decorations. Easy to work with, friendly, and great value for the location. We would definitely recommend going with BLOC, especially if you like a blend of whimsical, craftsman, and modern architecture and design.
Being in the wedding industry myself in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area as a wedding photographer, I knew from the beginning what I wanted and didn't want for my wedding day.

Myself and my husband wanted an intimate and very small wedding specifically indoors that was our style, and initially we struggled finding a space that best represented us and our vision for the day, until I came across BLOC Venue in the Roseville area.
The aesthetics of the space are something else, with a plethora of elements containing a wide open concept, various brick walls, black and wooden fixtures, and a jaw-dropping plant wall as you enter; when we came across BLOC Venue, we knew right away that it was where we wanted to say We Do!
In reaching out to their impeccable staff, Leela and her team are truly incredible, intentional, and personable about coming alongside you as a couple and help you bring your vision to life with their ongoing support, design ideas, needed advice, and an all around amazing coordinating service.
Not knowing what the year 2020 would hold for us and our wedding, Leela and her staff personally checked in with us frequently with updates regarding the venue and ever-changing Covid-19 policies.. and I kid you not, literally moved mountains to pull off our wedding for us. As stressful and frustrating as a year it was, I truly believe that if we had not gone with BLOC Venue and Leela and her team, our wedding would not have happened and we would have probably had to postpone.
They were there with us every step of the way! From numerous calls, texts, and emails going back and fourth about having a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, and so on (Covid-19 brides totally understand what this means), of a timeline, layout, setting up the space, etc. The day of our wedding, I was truly blown away by the pure kindness and professionalism that was so evident in every single detail that was in the space, the flexibility and understanding of dealing with my perfectionist self, the outstanding communication, and the energy that Leela and her whole team embodied with ensuring that regardless, 'Love Always Wins'. There were many moments when we doubted ourselves and didn't even think we could pull off getting married in the middle of a global pandemic while California and its wild fires were burning down, but the love + encouragement + support that Leela and her team provided to us every step of the way were unmatched.
Hands down, BLOC Venue and the people that represent it are top of the line in the wedding industry, and if I could I would do it all over again to relive our day and our moment... because it was so worth it!!!!!!
I wanted to just start off by saying that our wedding was one of the first at this venue. So, keep that in mind while reading this review. First off, when we first came in for our ...
hard-hat tour, we were basically taking a shot in the dark when choosing to go with this venue for our reception. We had seen the vision of the owners of BLOC and we loved what we saw! That being said, it was definitely a bit stressful through their construction, but exciting to see the space come together. Tanya was there for our walk through with vendors, and she answered all of our questions and was SO helpful! (There were a ton of questions!)
The one recommendation I would give when looking at this venue is know what you want before your tour so that you know exactly which questions to ask. DO YOUR RESEARCH!! Make sure to ask questions and get clarifications so you know exactly what you’re getting into and you’re not left with any surprises.
This venue is beautiful! However, and I can’t stress this enough, just make sure you’ve done your research and you know exactly what you’re getting into.
