The Scene at The Hackney
The Hackney started life over 150 years ago as a brewery and later as a mechanic’s workshop. It has since been lovingly restored to its full potential, keeping many of the original period features. These charming historical details, along with the abundance of natural light, form a picture-perfect backdrop for photographs at this industrial-style wedding venue in East London.
You’ll love the versatility of The Hackney’s simple yet elegant interiors, featuring exposed brick walls, polished cement floors, Edison bulbs, and a stunning hanging garden of tropical plants. Light floods in through large overhead skylights, and soaring high ceilings give the space an open and airy feel. The venue includes a cocktail bar, lounge area and separate dining space, as well as a covered summer terrace.
As night falls and your wedding celebrations continue into the evening, The Hackney transforms into a warm and inviting reception space. All of the tableware, styling, florals and catering is taken care of by the team and their reliable vendors, allowing you to relax and enjoy this special time as everything comes together effortlessly.
The Hackney Wedding Ceremonies
The Hackney isn’t licensed for wedding ceremonies, and many couples choose to instead host intimate ‘blessings’ with their closest loved ones. If you’d prefer to have a legal marriage ceremony, Hackney Town Hall is just a five-minute drive from the venue.
The Hackney Wedding Receptions
If you’re keen to let your creativity run wild, there’s plenty of versatility and beautiful backdrops to create the wedding reception of your dreams at The Hackney. You might choose to host a spectacular feasting dinner on long banquet tables or keep things casual with a laidback cocktail-style reception.
No matter which style of reception you choose, you can look forward to a fun-filled night of fantastic food, drinks, and dancing at this stylish industrial wedding venue in East London. Your guests will sit down to dine on long banquet tables as the space is lit with candles and soft lighting, creating a beautifully intimate yet uncrowded setting. In the summer months, a private sun-lit courtyard garden will also be at your disposal for alfresco drinks receptions.

Venue Testimonials
Hackney Coffee Company is a nice bright modern cafe with food, drinks and a gorgeous interior. Lovely displays overhead. Good seating, up front, middle and small courtyard.
Katy M
The interiors at Hackney Coffee Co are chic with wooden floorings and exposed brick walls. It's much bigger than it looks too, with a larger area at the back that features a skylight allowing loads of natural light to brighten the room. I loved the overhanging foliage that brings the outside inside.
Kritt N
Hackney Coffee Co is all about the gorgeous atrium bathed in light at the back, usually with an artistic installation of some sort set against the exposed brick and nicely designed interior.
