Drawing Room at Clissold House

Wedding ceremonies cost £480 including VAT for a 50-minute ceremony-only booking. This includes complimentary use of furniture and covers the venue hire fee. The registrar's fee is separate and paid directly to the Hackney Registrar Team.

A ceremony booking is 50 minutes total with sample timings as follows: 15 minutes before for guest arrival and setup, 20 minutes for the ceremony itself, 5 minutes for confetti and photographs outside, and 10 minutes for venue clearance. Ceremonies start on the hour.

On Saturdays, the latest ceremony-only slot available is 1pm. This is different from weekdays which may have later availability.

Security is mandatory for most bookings, though specific costs are not detailed in pricing. All food and beverages must be provided through accredited caterers, or you can bring your own caterer for a £550 + VAT buyout fee after they pass an accreditation process.

You must separately book the Hackney Registrar Team by visiting hackney.gov.uk/approved-premises and completing their booking form. The registrar's fee is paid directly to them and is separate from the venue hire cost.

The venue will hold a provisional time slot for 5 days while you confirm registrar availability. Once you sign the contract, you have 10 business days to make payment before the booking is released.

Yes, exclusive drink reception add-ons are available allowing you to extend your ceremony hire with drinks service in the beautiful spaces. This option is available for select spaces only, and you can find details and pricing on their drinks page.

First, confirm registrar availability and provide booking details for a provisional hold. The venue then sends a contract to sign (pages 2 and 12), and once returned, they provide a payment link that expires after 10 business days.

The venue operates on a 'dry hire' basis, meaning all food and beverages must come from their accredited caterers. If you prefer your own caterer, there's a £550 + VAT buyout fee and they must pass an accreditation process before approval.

The venue hire includes complimentary use of their furniture. You get 15 minutes before your ceremony start time for guests to arrive and any setup you want to do in the room.
