Shoreditch Studios

As Shoreditch Studios is licensed for weddings – being able to get married and have the reception at the same venue was great and having the use of the two arches and the courtyard made it easy to create different feels to the space throughout the day. We were hoping to make a bit more use of the courtyard but unfortunately, the British weather wasn’t playing game!

“We looked around East London because we wanted something with a warehouse/New York style vibe, and we knew we wanted somewhere that wasn’t a standard wedding venue, that had weddings every day of the week, and which didn’t feel that personal.”

We’d researched venues across the country because the type of building was important, rather than the actual location. It needed to be a blank canvas and have elements of the industrial; we also needed a dry hire to enable us to realise all of our ideas. Initially, we thought we couldn’t afford London and were also put off by the number of venues who put restrictions on caterers, wine lists and the time we could be there. One venue (who shall remain nameless) wanted to charge ten thousand pounds just to allow us in the door between 1pm and 11pm – including set up and strike – before even discussing food, drink, staffing, lighting and sound. Eventually, again largely thanks to Rock My Wedding, we discovered Shoreditch Studios. Crucially, Shoreditch Studios has two rooms. This meant that our guests would be in one for the ceremony, then the other for pre-meal drinks, back through for dinner and then back out again for the evening festivities. We loved the idea of having the opportunity to surprise our guests not once, but several times! We ignored everyone’s advice and didn’t physically look anywhere else. 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.

“We got married at Shoreditch Studios in mid-September and the whole process from the very first contact last year, right the way through to the day itself was PERFECT. Andrew, Tom and Travis were an amazing help and very patient and understanding of all our questions and all our needs. The day itself was amazing, thanks to a great venue. It's blank space that allows you to make it exactly what you want it to be. Highly highly highly recommended!”

"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."

"We wanted a central London wedding, somewhere easy for our guests to travel and somewhere different to the weddings we had been to in the past. Shoreditch Studios definitely offered this. We had so many comments about the venue, food and service. Everyone has just bombarded us with messages saying what a fantastic day it was so thank you so much!"
