Hackney town Hall Wedding - East London wedding venue

Hackney town hall wedding goals! THIS WEEK WE HAVE THE REAL WEDDING OF LAURA & TOM at hackney town hall. THEIR WEDDING was SO ROMANTIC AND FUN, WITH SMOKE BOMBS, GIN AND SOME AMAZING FOOD!

SET IN A BEAUTIFUL historical BUILDING IN East LONDON, WE’RE SO EXCITED TO BE FEATURING THEIR SPECIAL DAY.

WHEN AND WHERE DID THE WEDDING TAKE PLACE?

THE WEDDING WAS ON 19TH SEPTEMBER 2019, WE GOT MARRIED IN HACKNEY TOWN HALL, NORTH & SOUTH ATRIA.

THE CEREMONY AND DRINKS RECEPTION WAS IN THE NORTH ATRIA. THE SOUTH ATRIA HELD THE DINNER AND SPEECHES WHILE THE NORTH ATRIA WAS BEING CONVERTED INTO A DANCE FLOOR AND STAGE FOR THE BAND AND DANCING.

BOTH ATRIA’S ARE IDENTICAL SPACES WITH GLASS ROOFS AND EXPOSED BRICK WALLS

EAST LONDON BLACK TIE WITH A FOCUS ON ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US

AND NONE OF THE THINGS THAT AREN’T.

WHAT WAS THE THEME OF THE WEDDING?

WE HAD A BLACK TIE EVENING DRESS THEME, OUR CEREMONY WAS AT 4.30PM IN HACKNEY TOWN HALL. THE CEREMONY WAS SIMPLE AND INTIMATE, WITH 100 GUESTS ATTENDING FOR BOTH THE CEREMONY AND THE EVENING.

WE HAD READINGS FROM FRIENDS FROM HANYA YANAGIHARA’S A LITTLE LIFE AND F. SCOTT FITZGERALD’S THE GREAT GATSBY.

FOLLOWING THE CEREMONY WE HELD A DRINKS RECEPTION IN THE NORTH ATRIA WHILST WE HAD PORTRAITS TAKEN ON LONDON FIELDS WHERE WE GOT ENGAGED.

WE WANTED TO PRIORITISE EVERYTHING THAT WE PERSONALLY LIKED AND IGNORE ANYTHING THAT WE FELT WE SHOULD DO JUST FOR TRADITION SO OUR FOCUS WAS ON THE DRINKS, THE FOOD AND THE MUSIC.

food and drink

OUR MENU WAS LOOSELY MOROCCAN THEMED FROM HARISSA LAMP LOLLIPOPS TO SELF-SERVING TAGINES, FLAT BREADS, SALADS AND BABA GANOUSH.

OUR WINE WAS ENGLISH SPARKLING FROM THREE CHOIRS IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE AND OUR DESSERTS WERE BLUE DAPPLED MERINGUE KISSES FROM HACKNEY BASED MERINGUE GIRLS AND CROSSTOWN DOUGHNUTS INSTEAD OF A TRADITIONAL CAKE.

WE HAD A SELF-SERVE GIN BAR OPEN AFTER DINNER AND SPEECHES SET UP IN THE SOUTH ATRIA WHILE THE BAND PLAYED IN THE NORTH ATRIA.

OUR FIRST DANCE KICKED OFF AROUND 8PM TO FRANK OCEAN’S THINKIN’ BOUT YOU AND DANCING CONTINUED UNTIL 1AM.
