Looking for a large-scale wedding venue in East London? Big Fridge London provides a spectacular setting for couples with ambitious plans, with a vast open space that can be completely transformed for the occasion. Set within a historic red-brick building in the Royal Docks, this blank-canvas venue gives you plenty of scope to design the day from scratch, from adding flowers, lighting and a stage to creating dedicated areas for dinner, drinks, entertainment and dancing.
The building dates back to 1914, when it was used as a cold-storage warehouse for London’s shipping trade, and much of its industrial character remains. Inside, exposed brick walls, soaring industrial-style ceilings and huge arched windows create an impressive backdrop before any decorations are added. Natural daylight makes it particularly appealing for summer celebrations, while atmospheric lighting, candles and seasonal flowers could completely change the mood for a winter wedding.
The sheer scale of the open-plan room leaves plenty of space for a sizeable dance floor and ambitious entertainment. A DJ or live band could provide the soundtrack to the evening, while the flexible set-up also makes more unusual entertainment, such as circus performers, possible.
Catering is similarly flexible. Couples can bring in a caterer of their choice or work with recommended suppliers including Jess Chef, Sands Catering and Connexions Cuisine, leaving plenty of scope to create a menu that reflects their tastes and style of celebration.
There’s already a bar within the venue, and drinks suppliers include BarServe Co. and Sweet and Chilli. Wine, beer, cocktails and alcohol-free drinks can all form part of the celebrations, while the venue’s 24-hour premises licence provides additional flexibility when planning the day. Royal Albert DLR station is immediately outside, making the venue straightforward for wedding guests to reach by public transport.
