We had our wedding reception at Shoreditch Studios, it's an amazing venue. It's a blank canvas so you can really personalise your decor - although, at the same time, the space itself is so striking (exposed brick, metal spiral staircase) that it already looks stunning without much decoration anyway! Andrew, Travis and Tom were super helpful throughout the whole process. The team is professional and accommodating (we had quite a few separate site visits with various suppliers), and you can tell they're really experienced with the ins and outs of putting on weddings in the space. We were thrilled with the space and the experience. It's led to amazing wedding photos and many compliments from our guests on the day! Highly recommend if you're looking for an unusual and easily customisable venue in central London.

Connie & Matt

We recently got married at Shoreditch Studios and the whole experience from start to end was great. Andrew and his team were brilliant and always on hand to help and answer questions and there were loads of those! Weddings can be quite overwhelming and the devil is in the finer details. We were firing over a lot of questions, often questions we had already asked and the venue team remained patient with us which, under the stress of an impending wedding, was welcome. The venue is great and a great blank space for those who want to make a space their own. Wedding venues can be cheesy but Shoreditch Studios allows a couple to be original and creative. All in all, it was a great experience.

Mary & Will

We were so pleased when we found Shoreditch Studios for our wedding. We wanted to find a dry hire venue that allowed us to bring in our own suppliers and to get creative. The exposed brick, arches and white walls all provided the perfect blank canvas and the two studios gave us the flexibility we needed without having to interrupt the day by ‘turning over’ the rooms. It was a bonus that the Studios are regularly used for events, meaning that their team managed the process with ease and were very accommodating with our often strange requests and with all our suppliers. We had the most amazing day- thank you!

Lorna & Liam

After looking at many unsuitable London wedding venues, Shoreditch Studios felt like our saviour. It ticked all boxes. We loved the urban / industrial type feel, combined with its location and having outside space. The fact that it is licensed for ceremonies was a massive lure for us as we are non religious but didn't really like the old fashioned registry office look. The staff were brilliant, really responsive and had plenty of advice and contacts for putting on a brilliant day.

Hannah & Chris

We knew we had to find a London venue, both of us being from here. The other main requirement was that it needed to be a black canvas space, where we could do dry hire and supply everything ourselves. We viewed a couple of beautiful spaces, but they were a bit too prim and proper for us, so when we walked into Shoreditch Studios with its exposed brick and archways, we were immediately sold. We had actually been to an event there, years ago, but seeing it completely clear, we knew we had so much space to work with! It also had an outside courtyard, which we loved, as it can be hard to get outside spaces in urban London venues

Lucy & Michael

We are so pleased we chose Shoreditch Studios to host our wedding. All our guests commented on what a great venue it really was! We really can’t thank you guys enough. Fab venue, fab team!!

Lauren & Chris

Shoreditch Studios fitted exactly what we wanted as a reception venue; it had a lovely courtyard space as well as a cool interior, exposed brickwork, under the railway arches- it has an edgy feel and was a great space. We didn’t want somewhere that “did” weddings, we wanted a blank canvas we could make our own.

Kate & Richard

We knew Shoreditch Studios fitted the bill perfectly. Dan, Andrew, Maree and the whole team were open to all of our ideas (even the crazy ones!) and were incredibly flexible and supportive.

Anne & Chris

Can we BYO drinks?

Yes. As a venue we don't charge you a fee for BYO drinks. However, some caterers may charge a corkage or service charge if they are providing your bar, glassware and bar staff.

Our recommended caterer 'Cater London' manage around 70% of our weddings. They don't manage the lowest budget DIY weddings or the really high budget weddings that have a wedding planner choosing all their suppliers but most couples choose to work with Cater after shopping around for catering options. Cater London are very flexible, can create bespoke menus, allow BYO alcohol and offer a range of menus from street food to gourmet 3 course meals.
