We loved our experience at Watson Block! The venue is gorgeous and was a perfect fit for our 100 person wedding. Gaby was so helpful and easy to work with and so were all of the preferred vendors that we worked with. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved Watson Block for our wedding. The venue is beautiful and the venue staff (John) helped ensure that everything went smoothly. We would absolutely recommend this venue for a smaller sized wedding (we had 90 guests).
