The venue itself is absolutely GORGEOUS! The exposed brick gives such a nice industrial feel, which is what we loved. The chandeliers and the bar area are also so beautiful. Amber, the venue coordinator, was amazing to work with, and she made sure we had everything exactly how we wanted. We had 80 people, and they fit perfectly. I believe the venue fits 120, so it’s great for those smaller weddings.

We are so happy that we decided to have our wedding at Watson Block! It is such a beautiful space and was the perfect size for our wedding of ~100 guests. We had both the ceremony and reception at Watson Block and the transition between the two was seamless. Amber was great to work with through the process as well! She let us come back and tour the space again after we had booked and was very responsive to all of our questions. There were so many things happening the day of the wedding that Amber and her team handled perfectly in the background. It allowed us to relax and enjoy the day knowing that they had everything 100% taken care of. We would highly recommend Watson Block to anyone looking for a venue!

What a fantastic experience for my good buddy and his new wife. This place is the total package! It was elegant and classy. It was clean and very welcoming! Way to make my best friend’s wedding and reception memorable and magical! Highly recommended.

to wedding group and employees from 8/6/22 don't cater food to this location they will steal your tip. Delivered Portillos catering and got no tip. I think the staff there took it and told me the wedding people didn't tip. I even helped bring it up and set it up which is not part of my job for doordash. How do you not tip on a catering order of 120 hotdogs plus fixings. this happened the night of 8/6/22. Btw the order was 15 Chicago Style Hot Dog Fast Pack from Portillos

Watson Block can comfortably seat 120 for a seated reception. If you’d like to a cocktail-style reception a group of 150 can be accommodated.

Are you open now after the Covid closures?
