For couples who'd rather swap a country house for a canal-side warehouse and a string quartet for a DJ booth, Number 90 in Hackney Wick is the kind of wedding venue that feels refreshingly different. Sitting beside the water in one of East London's most creative neighbourhoods, this industrial-chic space offers all the character, flexibility and party potential needed for a celebration that breaks away from tradition.
The venue is made up of two neighbouring spaces, No.90 Hideout and No.90 Lock, which can be hired separately or combined depending on the scale of your day. Together, they offer room for more than 1,000 standing guests, while dining capacities reach 150 in Hideout and 180 in Lock. Both spaces feature soaring ceilings, exposed warehouse details, beautiful wooden flooring and plenty of natural light, creating a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit everything from laid-back banquet-style feasts to stylish evening receptions.
One of Number 90's biggest draws is its outdoor space. A large canal-side terrace links the two venues, providing waterside views and plenty of room for guests to mingle between courses or cocktails. There's also a spacious courtyard at the front, ideal for food trucks, barbecue stations or outdoor drinks receptions. For couples looking for a memorable arrival, the terrace can even be accessed by canal boat, making for an entrance that guests are unlikely to forget.
State-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, DJ booths and 360-degree projection mapping in Hideout allow couples to personalise the space in ways that traditional venues simply can't match. Whether that's immersive visuals, custom lighting schemes or an all-night dance floor, the infrastructure is already in place.
Food-wise, many couples choose to bring in their own caterers, allowing complete freedom over the menu. Drinks, however, are firmly in Number 90's wheelhouse, with an extensive cocktail offering that includes signatures such as the Very Cherry Jerry, Frosty Blush and East London Ice Tea.
