Blockhouse PDX

Blockhouse was a great venue! It was reasonably priced and was perfect for our small intimate wedding. As a bride planning a wedding thousands of miles and 3 time zones away, Blockhouse staff answered emails quickly and thoroughly and we're so so incredibly helpful in figuring out logistics and answering all my frantic questions! Manda you are a saint! Just know two things to know before booking (and the staff did let us know) 1. There is no getting ready area there, but there are hotels nearby to get ready at, and 2. You will need someone to decorate the day of the wedding. My mom and I planned my wedding and did not have a wedding planner, so my mom and friends set up the day of. Just something to keep in mind! The space itself is a beautiful indoor/outdoor space, and the lighting around 6:30 in October was magical for our ceremony. It photographers incredibly well. Our wedding day was perfect and huge part of that was the staff and space of Blockhouse!

Blockhouse was such a perfect venue! All of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the space was. The Blockhouse team was very communicative and so helpful. Highly recommend!

Blockhouse was an amazing venue to have our wedding reception at, we would love to go to more events there. It was a perfect size for our group (25), and the setting of the nursery is beautiful. Plus, there are chickens running around the nursery, which were a big hit for our nieces (both under 3 years old). Sarah and Ashley were very helpful in coordinating our initial walkthrough and connecting us with our caterer, as well as working the day of the reception, and the cost was very reasonable. Thank you to the whole Blockhouse team!

If I could give 6 stars, I would. It only takes a quick visit to this space to realize it’s STUNNING, but it’s the people behind the scenes that make it special. Shoutout to Sarah and Mia who made my entire wedding day go perfectly. They took every bit of stress out of planning my day - even staying at the space all day to greet my caterer and rentals so I could leave to get my hair and makeup done. My guests constantly approached me to tell me how much they loved the venue. It was so beautiful and romantic, especially after the sun went down. I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else. Also, a special hug to the two resident chickens on the property that were fan favorites.

This venue was the only one we looked at because we knew immediately it was perfect. From the greenery and proximity to the city to the amazing staff, this venue did not disappoint. Each and every one of our guests came up to tell me how beautiful it was. We just had our wedding in early October and this venue perfectly fit the fall vibe - but this venue would fit any seasonal vibe! Beyond the beauty, I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff are. Emily and her team went above and beyond - anything we needed, they handled. From their prompt responses throughout the planning process to day-of, they were perfection. I cannot recommend this venue enough!!

The most gorgeous green and intimate wedding venue we could ask for. It was exactly what we wanted for our 70 person Labor Day weekend wedding. Charlene and Emily were extremely easy to work with. They even helped set up our decor and place setting. We were so happy with how the entire event went. Our biggest draw to the venue was the beautiful plants and greenery in the venue. It required so little decoration! I would recommend this venue to EVERYONE and ANYONE!

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.

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.

I was referred here by a larger venue, as my wedding was going to be pretty small. Walked in-gorgeous. Right in there in the nursery and we ended up renting a portion of additional nursery space for use after 6. The staff were great and had the nursery floor prepped so right at 6, started moving things into place and ceremony could start at 6:15. Then, after the ceremony, staff moved things around and placed additional tables for the reception. All of this was quick and seamless. Everything was beautiful and ran smoothly at the wedding. Probably because, prior to the wedding, the staff (Emily in particular as I worked primarily with her and this opinion is based on my personal experience) was extremely professional, organized, easy to work with, communicative, and helpful. Emily was always responsive via email, providing answers to questions, suggestions, ideas, and being very accommodating for last minute schedule changes. If you have a small wedding, this is the place. Note: the location was gorgeous and the staff went all out arranging plants within the non rented part of the nursery. Multiple guests have commented, multiple times, on how beautiful the location was. The nursery may also have some customers-it really was that lovely.
