    The hidden gem of Hackney!

    If you are having a wedding for under 60 people then this is your place! From start to finish the communication and planning of the wedding was seamless and took so much of the stress out of the day. The totally customisable packages that they offer really does suit anyone’s budget and more importantly regardless of what package you end up going for it is value for money. The food was delicious and it catered to everyone’s tastes including a pregnant guest, halal, vegan and lactose intolerant and was the talking point for our guests. The venue itself is stunning! Lots of exposed brick, they had recently redecorated before our wedding and the reception room that doubled up as the dance floor was styled simply but made a statement and the outdoor covered patio area was a welcome addition. The team understood our vision from the get go and they completely nailed it, all of our guests couldn’t believe it was here! I honestly can’t recommend it enough if you’re wanting a small and intimate wedding venue but still with all the class. I would say to future couples even if you think this wouldn’t be your venue please please do have a proper look because it will change your mind, I had come across this venue multiple times over the course of a year and decided to take a leap of faith and give it a chance and we’re so happy we did.

    Our dream wedding reception venue!

    We held our wedding reception at The Hackney in July and it was truly the best experience. We opted for a standing reception for our 65 guests, serving food bowl-style for a more relaxed, less formal feel. The food was absolutely delicious and there was lots of it - it just kept coming! Our guests are still raving about how good the food was months later! Lots of good drinks options too - we especially like the cocktails here!

    The staff on the night were so friendly, welcoming and were amazing with our children guests too!

    The Hackney is such an aesthetic venue with exposed brick walls and existing foliage which we loved, so we kept additional decorations to a minimum. We dropped our decorations to The Hackney the day before and picked them up the day after, which was super easy! We hadn’t given them too much direction with where we wanted everything placed but when we turned up to the venue on the day it was truly perfect! The staff know exactly what they’re doing and had decorated it beautifully! The outdoor seating area is a great feature too (especially for our two greyhounds who chilled out there for the majority of the reception!)

    We opted for a simple Spotify playlist for our music and their sound system was good.

    The wedding planning process was super easy from start to finish, with continued support and check-ins from Hugo, from the moment we booked, to the day itself! We really enjoyed the menu tasting experience earlier in the year too, which is a great touch in the build up to the big day! The planning spreadsheet was easy to use and made us feel content and relaxed, knowing that everything was under control.

    Overall, we would highly recommend The Hackney to anyone looking for an affordable, dog-friendly, wedding reception venue with a laidback vibe, delicious food and lovely friendly staff! We look forward to coming back every year to celebrate our anniversary, with an espresso martini!

    Best wedding reception venue in London!

    We had our wedding reception here and wow was it amazing. Hugo, Erika and the whole team were amazing. Every single guest commented on how delicious and plentiful the food was. The staff were amazing nothing was too much to ask and all so happy.
    The venue itself was decorated amazingly, given we left our wedding stationary etc up to the venue it exceeded our expectations. I was concerned about the allowed decibel level for Dj / entertainment but it was plenty loud enough. I wish I could relive the day again, if you’re thinking about booking The Hackney do it! You will not regret!

    Would like to get married once a year to re-live our party at The Hackney

    From the initial phonecall to the warm welcome we got when we first visited The Hackney, we knew we were in safe hands and that we’d made the perfect choice. The venue offers the most beautiful interiors - the perfect mix of cosy, intimate and modern industrial - exactly what we were looking for!

    Our entire experience with The Hackney was an absolute dream -we loved the mega organised approach to planning. Something that could have been incredibly intimidating was made so straightforward with the amazing support of Hugo the General Manager who embraced all our weird and wonderful suggestions and gave expert advice on what we could do to make things even better. We left every meeting buzzing with ideas and even more excited to welcome our closest friends and family to the big day.

    The quality of the food and drinks is impeccable - every single one of our guests (even the fussiest!) has commented on how much they loved it. We absolutely loved the menu tasting, even though it made the decision even harder as everything was amazing. What makes it even better for us is living close by and being able to pop into our wedding venue for a coffee or a cocktail!

    I couldn't recommend The Hackney enough - I just wish we could go back and do it all again!

    The perfect venue

    We are so happy that we chose The Hackney as our wedding venue! We had the most magical day. Hugo and the team were nothing short of amazing. They catered to every need and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic! The coffee cured salmon and pork belly were standout dishes, and we will be dreaming about them for the rest of our lives. A perfect day at a perfect venue!

    Excellent Venue to get married

    The Hackney provided everything for a wonderful wedding celebration. The venue is stunning, especially in combination with flower decorations from RebelRebel. The whole day went smoothly and everything was well thought through. Would highly recommend to others.

    The Hackney is a gem of a venue

    Jon and the team were absolute superstars, hosting the perfect wedding day for us. The space is beautiful, the decor is modern and perfect. They were so accommodating for any request or question we had which we really appreciated. Guests commented on how great the cocktails were! The day ran so smoothly and we had a fantastic time.

    We can't recommend them enough!

    We had such a brilliant experience working with the team at The Hackney. We were regularly in touch throughout the planning process and the use of the shared spreadsheet was especially handy for keeping everyone informed.
    We had to postpone our wedding two days before as we were both sick with COVID, and the team were just fantastic. They waited for us to recover and then we started to talk through options again. We were able to rebook just six months after our original date, and the team were accomodating and understanding throughout the process.
    The day itself was perfect. Lots of our guests commented on the quality and quantity of the food and Hugo was great at keeping everything to time. We wish we could do it all again.

    Just perfect

    We were so lucky to have our wedding at The Hackney. Hugo is amazing- so kind and efficient, and he instantly made us feel at ease, and like nothing was too complicated. All of the staff were lovely, and everything was so easeful. It really was a pleasure, and we are so grateful- it was the best day of our lives!
