Charlie Sent on 05/11/2024Our perfect venue 💕
We can’t recommend the Hackney highly enough. They made the whole process so easy and they offer so much in-house which we took advantage of. The food was especially great - our guests were amazed “best food I’ve ever had at a wedding” and the team took great care of us during the planning stages.
They offer a very customisable service with scalable pricing. If you’re having a fairly small wedding (under 60) then you must check out The Hackney.
We had such a perfect day and we owe so much of that to the fabulous venue. Beautiful space, so professionally run. -

The Hackney was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The planning process was made so simple, they were incredibly flexible and we didn’t have to lift a finger on our wedding day which allowed us to truly enjoy and be in the moment. The food/drinks were lovely and staff friendly. One of the very best choices we made! -

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. -

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. -

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!

Murial Sent on 26/11/2023Cosy Venue with Exceptional Service (From the Groom)
We had our reception in July. The venue was cosy and comfortably fit 30 people without feeling too crowded or too empty (we were worried it might be too empty). We managed to fit a band in, arranged mini-golf in the venue after dinner, and customize the cocktail menu with custom recipe (that we provided before hand).
One of the biggest highlights was the food. The crispy roast pork got so many complements and indeed it was tasty. But really, all the dishes were amazing (we had a tasting session prior), it was hard to choose, but the taste of each dish was still top notch on the day itself too. I heard that the supper snacks we ordered were great too but alas, I was too busy and they were snapped up instantly!
Some other details:
* We were allowed to use the small room downstairs as a private space to put our stuff. Very handy to not mess up items.
* We went with a bar tab and kept increasing the budget each time till the end of the night instead of the all-you-can-drink. From our rough calculations, it worked out about the same going for all-you-can-drink. Of course, certain folk were heavy weights and more than made it up will be different for each crowd.
* Lighting for photos came out excellent (combination of photographer and venue lighting).
* You can adjust air conditioning to suit the weather (we had ours on the warm side due to older folk not dealing with cold too well).
* Outdoor space was a pleasant change in atmosphere for those who wanted some fresh air.
