Before diving into viewings and quotes. all over London, you need to find out if the venues you like tick all your boxes!

Best way to do this is to chat to your favourite venues before you view to see how responsive (and excited) they are about your wedding. Ask the venues what budget you will need for your wedding based on your wedding plans and guest numbers.

What is the most important part of your wedding day? What wedding suppliers have you sorted? How will make your wedding day different to all other weddings you have been to? What wedding traditions make you cringe? Make a shortlist and book a chat with our in-house planner Travis Collins.

If there’s time, we can also discuss your budget, any concerns you have and introduce you to wedding suppliers. Moving from emails to Zoom calls has sped up the decision-making process for couples and helps reduce planning stress. We can continue planning with you right up to your wedding day.

Can WE have a wedding for under £30,000 in the venues?

External suppliers (caterers, florists, DJs, photographers, service and bar staff, security) have all increased their prices considerably in recent years so you will likely need to increase your budget to £30k or more to cover everything you need. On average, weddings in our venues have budgets between £30,000- £38,000. Food and drinks cost per guest is something to consider when making your guest list. Feeding lass guests can save you a lot of money!

Not sure you can have the wedding you want with your budget? We are more than happy to chat through your options in our venues. We never push any couple to book the venue if we don’t think their budget is going to cover everything they need! We also offer lots of wedding planning advice and money saving tips. We have helped many couples plan their weddings so are happy to help!

Booking A Registrar

Our venues are licensed by Hackney Council for weddings. Please contact them directly to book in a registrar for your wedding to be legally married. See Hackney Council’s ‘approved venues fees’ via their website link below. For couples not looking to host a legal ceremony, we also welcome humanist ceremonies. Both venues can also be hired for receptions only.

Registrars across England are still experiencing high volumes of enquiries and can take a couple of weeks to get back to you. We advise all couples planning a 2022 wedding to get in touch with Hackney Council to check registrar availability ASAP to ensure you have time to secure a registrar for your wedding date.

When Can We View The Venues?

Shoreditch Studios viewings:
Monday to Friday at 8am or 6:30pm

Shoreditch Studios is a really busy venue so it’s not possible to accommodate viewings at other times during the day or on weekends. We have photoshoots, weddings or events booked every day of the year so 6:30pm after photographic shoots finish is the best time to get in and see the venue when it is empty.

Kachette viewings:
Monday to Friday between 9am - 6:30pm on any non-event day.

If you would like to view both venues, we would start at Kachette at 6pm followed by Shoreditch Studios at 6.45pm.
