Bloc15 Event Venue

Bloc15 is a flexible event venue in Oakland's Jack London District, offering more than 10,000 square feet of event space across two levels. Organisers can use the venue for corporate conferences, meetings, product launches, fundraisers, weddings, private celebrations and community gatherings. Its open main floor can be arranged for large receptions and dinners, while the mezzanine provides a separate area for breakout sessions, VIP seating or smaller groups.

The venue can be configured for standing receptions, banquets, theatre-style presentations and classroom layouts. Published capacities vary by setup, with space for up to 1,000 guests standing, 550 at banquet tables, 750 in theatre seating or 430 in a classroom arrangement. The team can discuss layouts and help organisers plan how guests, seating and event activities will use the space.

For presentations and production needs, Bloc15 lists audiovisual equipment, sound, projectors, adjustable lighting and high-capacity internet. Its event services include in-house bar options, while food is arranged through local catering partners. Organisers can bring a preferred caterer or ask about the venue's recommended providers. A professional kitchen supports catering operations, and the venue also describes support with event setup and coordination.

Couples can book the space for ceremonies and receptions, with layouts adapted for dining, mingling and dancing. Corporate organisers can plan meetings, workshops, networking events and company celebrations, while non-profit groups can host galas, auctions and fundraising dinners. The Oakland location is near downtown, with public parking options nearby and accessible entrance facilities. Event planners can contact the venue to discuss availability, arrange a tour and explore a suitable configuration for their occasion.
