What Is A Dry Hire Wedding?

A dry hire wedding venue is a wedding venue that is hired as an empty space. Dry hire wedding venues are sometimes also referred to as blank canvas wedding venues. Dry hire means that you hire the venue empty, without catering, furniture, entertainment, or lighting included. Hosting your wedding in one of Shoreditch London’s dry hire venues gives you total freedom and flexibility to set up the venue how you like. No fixed packages. Your wedding, your way.
