I hosted an event at Above The Block and had such a great experience. The venue is beautiful, with amazing city views, and the team was super helpful and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely book here again.
Love the place, love the vibe & energy. Unique venue with convenient parking. The staff were awesome, great for any event.
We just had our first event at this beautiful venue, Festa Junina / Brazilian Country Party on June 2, 2024.
We had the vision of getting the community together in this space and it happened and everyone had only good things to say. The experience was worth all the effort! They worked with us and helped us in every way. Adriana is extremely helpful, professional and always positive! David was always there from the begging!
Would love to come back!
This venue is fantastic for pretty much any event. The entire process is seamless and the staff is nothing but accommodating. You can tell the staff really cares about your happiness and it shows. The ballrooms are beautiful and the bar and bartenders were top notch. I’m very happy our planner recommended this place. We will definitely be using them again.
