No, we’re afraid not, we aren’t licensed for ceremonies. Most couples come to us directly from Hackney Town Hall, a short walk away.

Our venue can host up to 100 guests for a seated meal; however, not all in the same place. That means that guests will be spread between our taproom and garden, so please bear in mind the British weather. The ideal number is 80 for a seated meal, and up to 150 for a standing reception.

Yes! We encourage you to add personal touches to the space. However, decorations must be approved in advance to ensure safety and suitability. Nothing may be screwed into walls or permanently fixed. Lightweight decorations of no more than 5kg can be hung from the ceiling beams. You and your party are solely responsible for putting up and removing decorations; we do not offer a decoration service. This includes the arrangement and placement of flowers.

On the day of your event, you will have access from 12 pm. Our staff will be on-site from 10 am, which is the earliest you or any external contractors can arrive to drop off items or start to decorate the venue. Anything being dropped off before 12 pm must be agreed upon by your wedding coordinator. Any mess created or empty packaging accrued from your decorations must be removed by yourselves before your guests’ arrival. We will make the use of ladders available to you for your decorating; however, these are used at your own risk.

In some instances, it may be possible to bring decorations in advance of your big day; however, for any weekend weddings, it is not. We cannot accept any responsibility for any items that are not the property of our business at any time.

Our venue needs to return to its original state prior to the commencement of trade the next day. This means for a weekend wedding, all your decorations must be removed on the night, no later than 1.5 hours after the agreed end time of your event, or be gone by 12 pm the following day, 11 am being the earliest time for access the next day. Anything to be left overnight must be pre-agreed and approved by the venue, and we take no responsibility for any items left on our premises. Anything not removed within this time frame will be disposed of by the venue.

For 2025, we have an in-house food offering from Elliot Cunningham’s “Lagom” with a range of menu options including 3-course dinners, buffet-style feasting, and late-night snacks. From 2026, we will have a similar offering from Hendl. However, given the nature of hospitality, this could change at short notice, especially with weddings booked well in advance. If a prebooked wedding is not happy with the alternative food provider, then they will have the option to either cancel and receive a full refund or source their own external catering. Due to the operational limitations and size of our kitchen, the menu options are set and cannot be changed or modified to individual guests’ liking. Whilst we encourage you to bring your own wedding cake, we are unable to provide refrigeration for it.

Yes, live music and DJs are welcome. You will need to coordinate and arrange this yourself. They will need to arrive and leave during the timings mentioned above. It is not possible to connect to our sound system, so whoever you choose will need to provide their own PA system and equipment.

Our standard curfew is 11 pm from Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. It is possible to extend this with the application of a Temporary Event Notice to the Police and Local Council, allowing your event to go on until 3 am. We charge an application fee of £250 to do this, and there is no guarantee it will be granted.

As a brewery, we offer our own award-winning craft beers as well as an excellent selection of wines and spirits. A limited amount of wine, spirits, or champagne may be permitted with prior approval and is subject to corkage of £15 per bottle of wine, £20 per bottle of Champagne, and £70 per bottle of spirit.

Yes, we cater to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other allergies. Our menu’s options are designed with these in mind; however, due to the limitations of the kitchen, dishes cannot be substituted or changed, and in some instances, we may not be able to accommodate you.

Bookings can be made via our website. Once your enquiry has been received, our dedicated wedding coordinator will be in touch to discuss dates and answer any questions you have, and book a venue show round.

Once you have signed a contract and paid the deposit, your booking will be confirmed. After that, you can take your time finalizing your guest list, choosing your food, and letting us know any drinks you’d like to pre-order.

We do not offer menu tastings, but you are welcome to make a booking at any time our taproom is open and test out the quality of the food.

Yes, a 25% deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is typically due a few weeks before the event. The 25% deposit is from your total agreed spend amount eg. £5000 venue hire, £10,000 minimum spend = £15,000 total cost, £3750 deposit payable.

The exclusive use of the following areas. Taproom, Garden, Outside Front of the Taproom. We will provide one member of registered SIA Security staff to ensure no members of the public or uninvited guests gain entry to your event.

Our Sales & Events Manager is contactable Monday to Friday. If you’ve sent your enquiry over the weekend, don’t worry, it’ll be seen at the start of the week.

We will do our best to ensure that our wedding coordinator is there to run the day, leaving you free to enjoy the party.

Cancellations are subject to our terms and conditions, which will be outlined in your booking agreement.

Yes, our venue is fully accessible, with level ground all the way out to the Garden, and an accessible toilet.

The simple answer is no; however, we can create one. In the center of the room, we have 4 large concrete and wood tables. These can be removed and placed outside the front of the venue. To accommodate a room flip, your party needs to vacate the Taproom for up to an hour to allow us to clear, clean, and move them. Most parties move out into our Garden for toasts or to mingle while this happens.

We have a wired microphone, stand, and speaker that can be used all around the venue, including the garden, for speeches. We have a large 70-inch TV screen that can be used for any embarrassing picture slide shows if desired. There is no charge for use of either of these. Our sound system runs via Bluetooth and Spotify Premium, so you can choose whatever music you would like on the day or build your own tailored playlists to share with us.

We don’t have table linens, linen napkins, decorations, chair covers, plinths, cake tables, candles, candle holders, water jugs, disco lights, various types of glasses, or silverware for every course. We are first and foremost a brewery taproom; what you see is what you get. Whilst this may not be every bride’s dream, the plus side is that there are no hidden extras or charges on top of your minimum spend for any of the above. To put your mind somewhat at ease, we do have champagne flutes, stemless wine glasses (which we use to serve beer, wine, and spirits), pint glasses, and shot glasses.

You are welcome to bring anything you’d like in addition to what we have, as long as it arrives and is removed during the allotted time frames, as explained above.

We’ve found the below to be a winning formula for the weddings we’ve hosted previously, and a good starting point, or to give you some inspiration.

Prosecco or Champagne Reception – (£6.50 per glass), followed by Canapes, we’d go for 3-4 different types per person.

Sit down for dinner anywhere from 1 – 2 hours after arrival. We’d recommened serving 1/2 a bottle of wine per person (£15)

More Sparkling or Cocktails to Toast Speeches, which, if you want a dance later, are best done during or shortly after dinner.

Shots in the garden to get the party started – (From £6 per 25ml.) while we clear everything and get the room ready for a dancefloor.

Yes, however, depending on the number of guests, we wouldn’t recommend keeping younger ones or dogs later than 9 pm. 

We have highchairs and baby changing facilities available.

There is no parking on Bohemia Place, and there is limited on-street parking nearby, but we encourage public transport as we are well-connected, with the nearest station being Hackney Central. Currently, external suppliers such as florists, DJs, etc can drive down our street and have up to 30 minutes to load before they must move their vehicle.

Yes, there are several hotels and guesthouses within walking distance. We do not have any arrangements with any of them, so you are free to choose whatever is best for your guests.
