The whole team at The Hackney were amazing for our wedding earlier this spring- they made the planning process so smooth and gave fab advice and guidance as we made decisions. Their set up is perfect for the smaller reception we were planning, and provided an intimate, relaxed and fun atmosphere. The whole reception, flowers, food, decor, service and coordination were fantastic and it helped us and our guests fully relax and enjoy a fab day/evening. I’d highly recommend them for any events.

I've photographed weddings here a few times now... It's one of the best venues I've been to. The staff are so amazing and friendly, they really look after their suppliers. The wedding breakfast room is a perfect combo of industrial and high end but still has a cool edge to it with its white brick and metal frames. I would like to that the staff at the venue for being so lovely to me and I cant wait to be back again.

I’ve photographed a couple of weddings here recently and I’ve been really impressed by how friendly and professional this venue is. It’s a compact space but can cater for a decent crowd - up to 60 for a sit-down meal and more for a standing event/party. The style is industrial (as befits the location) with loads of lush greenery, candles and the all-important disco balls, and a covered outside area. As a wedding vendor, the staff treated me extremely welcomingly and kindly and I’ve heard from my clients that they also felt well looked after during the booking process. The food was amazing. It’s a great place for a cool East London wedding reception and I hope to work there again!
