Our 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.

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.

Cosy 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Incredible-looking venue, great service, great time
We LOVED this venue for our wedding. All the guests were super impressed too. James and the team have been very engaged throughout the process and helped make sure that logistically everything worked out on the day. And they took care of a lot of "annoying" chores, like printing stationary, working out seating plan etc. - which was very appreciated. We loved our wedding day and THE HACKNEY definitely contributed to it!! Thanks, guys :)

Absolutely Perfect!
The Hackney were simply amazing. The team took what should have been a stress day, and turned it into something so beautiful and seamless. They handled everything so professionally yet with such warmth. 10/10 - definitely recommend. Special thanks to Hugo - General Manager, who really went above and beyond.

Stunning venue and experienced team
Had a wonderful experience with organising and celebrating our wedding at the Hackney.
Both Hugo and James were super helpful with helping us to think about every little detail and making the right choices with regards to the day schedule, catering, drink packages and all the other arrangements. They were also very flexible with accomodating our wishes and details of the day even when it required some additional work.
Both Hugo and James, as well as other the Hackney staff member were a pleasure to interact with and helped us to keep the usual stress around the big day at a low level.
I should also note that we definitely felt like they had a lot of experience with organising the event like that and knew how to plan everything and what needed to be agreed in advance. We got lots of great advice.
On the actual wedding day everything went super smoothly and we and our guests were absolutely blown away how magical the venue loooked.
We also had a great experience with the recommended caterer - the Banquet - they created a great menue for us that accomodated all the various dietary requirements (and we had plenty). The dishes were delicious and were presented beautifully. It was also super easy to interact with Dave and Tor from the Banquet.
So, in summary can highly recommend the Hackney team for anyone looking for a great and stress-free weeding reception.

Amazing from start to finish
As a wedding planner working on behalf of my couple who are based in the US, the team at Hackney Coffee were professional, friendly and dedicated from initial enquiry until the wedding date. The venue team go above and beyond, taking into consideration our clients were based abroad, they were flexible and provided all the information we required. Arranging Zoom calls to match our clients diary. The venue itself is beautiful, urban with a cosy, intimate atmosphere. The in-house cocktails are delicious and the approved suppliers were fantastic. Overall a venue I would come back to and recommend to clients again and again.

Beyond outstanding
Hugo went above and beyond to help us organise our day. He helped us shape and structure our day based on our wishes and preferences. When we needed to make changes, it was accommodated without any problem.
Hugo and all the staff let us enjoy our day without having to worry about anything at all. It was very well organised. The service was exceptional.
The communication was tremendously easy and smooth. All our guests loved the venue and how calm and professional staff was. We worked with Banquet, for our dinner, which was recommended by the Hackney Coffee Company. David was really kind and easy to work with. He served us one of the most delicious dinners we had. He also catered for our vegan guests impressively.
The venue is very easy to access.
