Vibrant space
Hackney is one of the most creative and vibrant boroughs in
London, with a lively, cutting-edge community.
Dream weddings don’t just happen, they’re meticulously
planned. Relying on experience, training, tradition and old-
fashioned intuition, Marriott Certified Wedding Planners can
help you determine an overall vision for your wedding and
then execute each detail. Aside from deciding which of their
elegant function rooms to choose for your reception – their
largest, the King George V, can accommodate up to 90
guests – this includes every detail from setting a budget;
deciding on a menu; arranging table settings; and finding
florists, photographers, a band and other entertainments for
the big day. www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/lonch-

Get the London look
with these central venues…
The West Reservoir Centre, with its fascinating structural
design elements, flood of natural light and wonderful
outdoor terraces, is the perfect stylish and quirky setting for
your wedding celebration.
The fabulous 1930s four-storey red-brick Main
Tower makes one of the most unique wedding
spaces in London. Taking up to 130 for a seated
dinner or 150 for a standing reception, the
original water processing equipment is poised
high above the heads of the guests, adding
drama and intrigue to your party. On either side
of the Main Tower are two wooden terraces
that provide outdoor space for summer entertaining
overlooking the glistening water. In comparison to many
similar-sized central London spaces, this offers excellent value
for money without compromising on quality or service. The
venue also works extensively with a range of suppliers from
caterers, production and audio-visual to florists.

late bookings welcome too, and the all-inclusive price means
you don’t have to worry about extras.
