MKII (previously known as The Old Dairy) used to house the cows that grazed on Hackney and Walthamstow Marches which are just up the road from the venue. This building is now used as an industrial warehouse event space and is ideal for those couples looking for something a bit different for their wedding reception. With a main hall perfect for decoration and numerous side rooms there is plenty of space for you to celebrate with your nearest and dearest. We are licensed for marriage ceremonies unlike most warehouse locations so can happily include this in the booking. MKII is available in 3 day bookings as standard, covering the day before and after your event or two days before. Our capacity is 110 people.

Incredible Unique Venue and Team

We held our wedding at MKII and the team (Charlie and Mark) could not have been more accommodating. The venue is large, bright and beautiful and the side rooms were really helpful for getting everything set up and for people to get ready in. The venue is a real blank canvas which let us decorate everything to our own tastes and design. It's a real hidden gem of a London wedding venue we can't recommend it enough! Our day was absolutely perfect thank you so much.

Great Wedding Venue!

Booked MKII for my wedding in Sept 2021 and honestly couldn’t ask for a more helpful team! Charlie was amazing from start to finish and all our guests loved the venue’s interior!

Bright, versatile venue

We absolutely love delivering weddings at MKII! The space is bright and fresh and open, and completely versatile for couples looking for a more relaxed venue without too much red tape. The kitchen is large and spacious and well equipped for delivering both large and more intimate events. Charlie, Mark and the team are a complete joy to work with and always provide excellent communication both in the run up and on the day. Can’t wait to be back!

Sweet, intimate wedding

We found the venue online and it was even more beautiful in person! Charlie was incredibly helpful and speedy with his responses and answered all the questions we had, and having a wedding just after lockdown, we had many. The place is easily accessible, with parking around. The place itself was perfect! Our guests were amazed by the venue, and everyone loved how quaint and rustic it was. It was truly the most perfect day. Thank you so much to the team and most of all, Charlie for helping us celebrate our special day in the best way! Would recommend and hopefully go back again one day :)

Our wedding

Thanks so much to Charlie & Team at MKII, the venue was incredible and we were free to decorate it and make it our own. The venue was a huge part of making our day special, especially the swing indoors, plus the side rooms we turned into a karaoke room. The photos look awesome!

Perfect wedding venue!

My partner and I had our wedding reception at MKII in September. We really wanted an informal day with a relaxed meal and party with our family and friends, it was the perfect venue! We had the best time. It's a really big, beautiful and light space - the perfect blank canvas. Charlie and the team were super helpful and thoughtful throughout the planning and set-up as well as on the day. Really couldn't have asked for more, we've already recommended MKII to friends and colleagues who are planning events and weddings!

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at MKII?

Every wedding has its different quirks and charms - we truly couldn't pick a favourite! Personally, I love it when couples put thought into how they use the space and repurpose different areas within the building. You've got so many options here and that's what I think truly stands us apart. We are the blank canvas. You might create an extravagant games room, a funky dance floor - maybe a cosy chill out space? We see a huge range across our clients and that's what makes each wedding so exciting.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Really think about how you want to lay things out, about your 'look and feel'. Come down and have a look in person, bring a couple of loved ones to help you figure out your perfect set-up. We're here to help and we're always happy to chat through potential options and share our thoughts. We've hosted all sorts of weddings, so I'm sure we can help find the right one for you. Most importantly, don't put too much pressure on yourself!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A games room with each station themed around the happy couple. Really lovely and fun use of the space :)
