Frequently Asked Questions
What are the venue hire costs for weddings at The Glass House?
Wedding venue hire costs depend on your chosen date and time, with pricing available at hackneyvenues.com/weddings2526. The hire fee includes complimentary use of furniture. Additional mandatory costs include security for most bookings (details at hackneyvenues.com/extras) and either using accredited caterers or paying a £535-£550 + VAT accreditation fee for external caterers.
Can I bring my own caterer for my wedding?
Yes, you can bring external caterers but must pay a £535-£550 + VAT accreditation fee (pricing varies between quotes). Your caterer must provide current food safety ratings, risk assessments, PAT test certificates for electrical equipment, and public liability insurance. The venue operates as 'dry hire' meaning all food and beverages must be provided by licensed caterers - you cannot supply your own food.
What is the maximum capacity for weddings at The Glass House?
The Glass House can accommodate up to 150 guests for weddings. One quote specifically mentions that 80 guests is 'perfect' for the venue, indicating it works well for both intimate and larger celebrations up to the maximum capacity.
Can I hold both my ceremony and reception at The Glass House?
Yes, you can hold your wedding ceremony at The Glass House, but you must separately book the Hackney Registrar Team to conduct the ceremony. Complete a booking form at hackney.gov.uk/approved-premises to request registrar availability. The venue can provisionally hold one time slot for you for 5 days while you arrange the registrar.
What bar and drinks options are available for weddings?
The Glass House offers in-house drinks services including drinks-only options and comprehensive bar services (details at hackneyvenues.com/drinks). Since it's a dry hire venue, all beverages must be provided through accredited caterers or the venue's own bar service - you cannot bring your own alcohol.
What kitchen facilities are available for caterers?
The venue has prep kitchens only, so your caterer must bring all equipment needed for service. This is not a full commercial kitchen, so caterers need to plan accordingly and bring their own cooking and serving equipment for your wedding.
Are there any restrictions on entertainment or music for weddings?
You can bring your own band for weddings, but must provide public liability insurance, risk assessments, and PAT test certificates for any equipment requiring electrical plugs. The venue does not provide DJ services, so you'll need to arrange your own entertainment and sound equipment.
What unique features does The Glass House offer for weddings?
The Glass House features retractable skylights that create an outdoor feeling while maintaining covered venue security at the press of a button. When booking the orchard room, you get exclusive access to a private courtyard, bringing additional park atmosphere to your wedding celebration.
How do I view The Glass House before booking my wedding?
You can book viewings at hackneyvenues.as.me/TheGlassHouse, with availability updated weekly and scheduled up to one month in advance. The venue also hosts open days on Saturdays (4th and 12th January 2025, 11am-3pm) which are drop-in events requiring no booking.
What is included in the wedding venue hire package?
The wedding hire package includes the venue space and complimentary use of all furniture. However, security is mandatory for most bookings (additional cost), and you must arrange all food and beverages through accredited caterers or pay accreditation fees for external providers.
