Warehouses, factories and old pubs may not be the first thing that pops to mind when you are trying to decide on a wedding venue, but these buildings are eclectic, inspiring and licenced for ceremonies. Once you and your guests arrive, everything will run smoothly under one roof and all you have to concentrate on is creating a fantastic day that nobody will ever forget!

East London Alternative Wedding Venues

If warehouses and factories aren't the first places you think of getting married in, then probably neither is East and North London unless you already live there. But the east end is a thriving hub of art and culture and has long been famous for its nightlife and music scenes. Full of bustling life and street art, places like Shoreditch, Hoxton and Hackney have become super-trendy and are often frequented or lived in by the rich and famous.

Thanks to the refurbishment of some of the grand old working buildings found there like factories and warehouses, there are plenty of alternative wedding venues in East London to choose from. These great spaces show off their large windows and authentic brickwork and often have outside spaces in the form of courtyards, gardens, and in some cases even their own piers on the River Thames!

Testimonial

Maud and Chris helped me out so much with my search. I was initially a bit nervous about using Urban Wedding’s free venue-finding service because I thought if it was free there must be a catch. There wasn’t one - no sales pitch or fees at all. They found us our wedding venue - within our budget - in days, after I’d been searching myself for weeks. 10/10 would recommend it.

Amazing team! We were super lost regarding the venue and they made it super easy. They know the wedding business as they found us the perfect venue! No stress involved! Totally recommend it.
