About Venue
Hackney Town Hall offers sumptuous grandeur for weddings, receptions and conferences in a sought after Art-Deco style.
The graceful curved staircase leads to the beautifully restored Assembly Hall with a vast array of original features including the imposing 1930s chandeliers and original sprung dance floor.
Excellent AV support, along with dedicated events management is included in the hire cost, both elements ensuring a professionally run event and memorable day.
Accomodating up to 550 standing for a reception the Assembly Hall is suitable for a variety of events and has the option of hosting both the wedding ceremony and celebrations providing a whole day’s experience in one venue. Sadly, standalone ceremonies aren't possible in the Assembly Hall but the Civic Suite, another stunning room in the Town Hall is available and provides space for up to 100. The adjoining Bridgetown Bar, decorated in dark wood and marble fixtures, evokes the feel of an exclusive gentlemen’s club. This space is perfect as a private bar or VIP green room.

We got married at Hackney Town Hall in the Committee Rooms, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The entire process was seamless, from the initial preparations and planning through to the welcome on the day, the ceremony itself, and even the farewell afterwards. The team was exceptional: professional, competent, organised, and genuinely kind. They made us feel supported and at ease throughout, which made the whole experience even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team. The Committee Rooms are beautiful, and the service we received exceeded our expectations.

One of my favourite London wedding venues to photograph. Hackney Town Hall has character in abundance - from the striking architecture outside to the art deco interiors and that beautiful sweeping staircase. All the rooms have their own identity, and there’s so much variety in the spaces. A truly special venue, and always a pleasure to work at.

We recently had our wedding ceremony at Hackney Town Hall and we honestly could not have wished for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff were warm, organised, and incredibly professional, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — elegant, full of character, and such a special setting for a wedding ceremony. Everything on the day ran perfectly, and the team made us feel completely looked after from start to finish. Their attention to detail, kindness, and calm professionalism really stood out and allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. We’re so grateful to everyone at Hackney Town Hall for helping make our day so memorable. We would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning venue with an exceptional team behind it.
