About Ellsworth Block

Ellsworth Block is a restored historic event space on Madison’s Capitol Square, occupying the second and third floors of an 1871 building.

The venue names the Skydeck, Maeder Room, and Pinckney Suite among its event spaces. Weddings are offered with Capitol views, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with full or partial-day rentals and an on-site bridal suite. The venue also offers a ceremony-to-reception turnover add-on, and has a kitchen area with a sink and Wi-Fi. Nearby parking options include Mifflin and Dayton/Pinckney; downtown street parking is free after 6 p.m. and on Sundays. The second and third floors are accessible only by stairs, though the venue notes some accessible features, including bathroom stalls and door handles.
