Frequently Asked Questions

In order to secure the date you wish to hold your event, you must make a non-refundable date-hold deposit, which is 50% of the room rental fee.

The security deposit is $500, and it is due 120 days prior to the date of your event.

The date-hold deposit will be due when you reserve the space.

The security deposit and remainder of the room rental fees will be due 120 days prior to the date of your event.

Unfortunately we are unable to refund any charges if the event is cancelled within 120 days of the event.

If the event is cancelled 120 days or longer before the event, and the event is pre-paid, 50% of the rental amount will be refunded (less any discount) previously applied. In addition, expenses incurred such as rentals or purchases necessary to produce your event may not be refunded, or may not be refunded in full if cost have been incurred toward that obligation. Any refund issued will be returned less a 4% handling fee if the payment was paid via credit card.

We are currently booking into 2027.

We accept cash, check or a credit card. We currently accept the following cards: VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover. (Please note: a 4% fee will be added to all credit card transactions.)

Conveniently located on the 1st floor, Day Block Brewing Company provides catering and beverage services. Flexible minimums based on the size of your event and needs. Typically no more than $2000.

Additionally, you’re welcome to choose a licensed outside caterer pending approval from Day Block. Please note that outside catering fees typically apply.

The event center can accommodate up to 250 guests for a banquet-style event including the East Room and South Room. For a seated meal service with tables and chairs, the capacity is approximately 200 guests (all seated in the East Room).

Weekend rentals have access at 10 am on the day of the event (earlier access fees apply). Weekday rental times may vary.

Yes you may, but they must be a licensed and insured vendor and approved by Day Block management. Outside catering fees may apply. These fees cover overhead working with outside vendors to ensure your event runs smoothly.

Day Block Brewing Company's beverage service is required for any alcohol service. We offer a wide selection of beer, wine, and spirits to suit every palate. Additionally, we make non-alcoholic Kombucha, Kanna Tea, and mocktails. Click here to review our catering menu.

The Day Block building can easily accommodate transforming a room quickly. Many couples have had their wedding ceremonies in the East Room and scheduled a cocktail hour in the South Room while the East Room was set-up for a reception. Please ask your caterer if they can provide this service.

Any decorations you would like to keep and/or equipment brought in by either you or an outside vendor must be removed immediately following the event unless other arrangements have been made with Day Block Management.

The event itself can last up to 8 hours, set up time is not included in the 8 hours. All music needs to be off at 11pm and the event itself must be over by midnight. It is understood that your event may be shorter that 8 hours.

Music must end by 11 PM, however this doesn't mean your party has to stop there! If you are still within the 8 hour rental agreement, you and your guests may continue to enjoy the space.

We encourage our clients to get creative with their décor. We want your event to be as special and memorable as you imagine it will be. There are only a few things we ask that you take into consideration.

Hanging decorations:
Although decorations may be draped and hung from the wooden rafters and other features of the building, please do not hang any decorations (large or small) from the electrical equipment, electrical conduit, water pipes or air ducts.

Adhesives and painting:
Adhesives may be used to affix décor on the walls, however, if the walls become damaged, we will have to consider this when returning your security deposit. In most cases, the walls cannot be painted for an event, but if you have concerns about the current colors, you may contact the building manager.

Candles:
If you plan on decorating with tea lights, they must be enclosed in glass, however we ask that you please have all other candles approved by management.

Yes, we have tables and chairs available. We currently have:

• Twenty 60-inch round tables

• Ten 48-inch round tables

• Ten 24-inch round cocktail tables

• Twenty+ 96-inch rectangular banquet tables

• 200+ chairs

You may bring in your own tables and chairs, or rent them from a vendor. However, due to the wear and tear on walls, doors and the elevator, we must charge a $250 fee.

The Minneapolis East Town area has metered parking on most streets. Additionally, we have access to a nearby lot—just kitty-corner from our wedding venue—that can accommodate up to 110 cars. The lot is operated by one of our lovely neighbors. Feel free to contact us for nearby parking options, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of!

This depends on what you have booked and on which day. If your event is scheduled for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it will be the only event. If it is held Monday-Thursday and you did not rent out the entire floor, it is possible another event may be held in one of the other rooms.

We have overhead speakers included in the rental that may be used for ambiance music/ceremonies.

We also have projector/screen, microphones and speakers for rent. Contact us for more information.

You (and your caterer) are responsible for removing items you brought in and would like to keep at the end of the event. All items must be off tables and all trash must be removed–either disposed of in the dumpsters in the parking lot or offsite. Failure to remove trash may incur an additional charge or loss of deposit.

We have a variety of wine / whiskey barrels that can be used to add a festive touch to your event.

Additionally, our cafe lights are always up and they can be plugged in at the start of your event. We do offer additional canned LED lights to be placed around the edges of the room which highlights our brick walls (8 lights) as an add on for $250.
