Warehouse Wedding Venues for Hire in London

Your Guide to Hiring Warehouse Wedding Venues in London

Warehouses are emerging as popular locations to host weddings thanks to their open and versatile nature, especially for couples looking for a modern and urban location for their special day. While there may be a few more jobs to think about when preparing the venue, these spaces essentially provide you with a blank canvas and complete freedom to design the area however you see fit. As certain warehouses are old buildings, you may have to get portable toilets, climate control, and lighting installed, however, many venues in London even come ready with all of these vital amenities. Also, consider that the acoustics and general feel of warehouse venues are more suited to larger weddings with big guest lists.

What equipment is included when hiring a warehouse wedding venue in London?

Most warehouse venues come as a dry hire, which means that you need to arrange for the equipment and staff on your own. These are huge spaces with exposed brick, concrete floors, and walls made of reclaimed wood and they are definitely going to give your wedding an industrial-chic vibe. However, they don't come with the same amenities that you can expect from a  high-end hotel, such as top-of-the-line sound systems and lighting, private bars, and on-site catering services. These venues are super unique and are on the more affordable side, which means you have more control over the setup and can choose additional services that suit your needs and budget. That's the best thing about these venues—they are super flexible and allow you to customise them in any way you want.

How far in advance should I book a warehouse wedding venue in London?

You should book a warehouse wedding venue in London at least 9 to 12 months before your big day. This is going to give you plenty of time to organise the rest of your wedding plans. You may also want to consider booking your venue a year in advance or even earlier, especially if you want to avoid the peak wedding season of July and August.
