Why Choose Giggster for Your Industrial Wedding Venue?
One word: selection. We've curated the most fun and unique industrial wedding venues you can imagine. Everything is in one place, and there's a great option at every price point. Amp up the industrial edge of your special day and choose venues like these:
-
Flexible space is invaluable for a single-venue wedding. Pick something from the Giggster list that has inside and outside space. Then, there are weather contingency options and the ceremony and reception can have distinct areas.
-
Is an empty warehouse tempting? Choose one and you can decorate how you see fit and provide lots of room for guests to dance, mingle, and eat.
-
If warehouse wedding venues feel too conventional, some of the favourite industrial wedding venues on the Giggster app are converted railway arches, parish centres, and theatres.
-
Perhaps mixing it up is more your speed. Some venues will combine industrial touches with the Victorian era or a Grade II listed building. Even a boxing gym could be great, especially if that's how you met your partner.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for an Industrial Wedding
Giggster is a useful tool for wedding planners, but it's especially handy when you're trying to organise everything on your own. You don't need existing contacts to browse our 10000 venues, and you don't need to spend hours going back and forth. These are just some of the amazing industrial wedding venues in the UK that will wow your guests:
-
Warehouses of All Sizes – Industrial Vibes at Their Finest. You'll have more than enough event space with big warehouses adorned with brick walls, exposed duct work, concrete, and wood accents. Effortlessly set the perfect tone for an industrial wedding day in smaller spaces, too. Downsize for a more intimate setting while honouring the overall theme with high ceilings and metalwork.
-
Barn Wedding Venue – Industrial Meets Rustic. When an urban wedding isn't your vision, move things to the Somerset countryside or rural Hertfordshire. Pick a 55-acre farm with modern barns and other outbuildings and a wide field to decorate exactly how you want.
-
Studios, Galleries, Restaurants, and Theatres – Put on the Best Show. Your big day can really be described as putting on a show for your friends and family. Stick with this and use a London theatre with the perfect stage or a lovely gallery with modern art displayed. An award-winning urban restaurant might also be just the spot for a memorable meal after the ceremony.
-
Re-Purposed Railway Arches – Because Why Not? If you want your wedding venue to be unconventional, stick with the industrial style while choosing a unique venue. A brick railway arch in South East London, with curved ceilings and a courtyard ideal for setting up food trucks or conducting the ceremony.
-
Lofts and Open-Plan Homes – Be Comfortable. Industrial wedding venues can feel a little cold if not decorated properly. Opt for industrial lofts with existing furnishings to warm up the space or hire a home with all the industrial elements (metal, brick, concrete), but with a cosier and lived-in feel.
Top Features to Look for in an Industrial Wedding Venue
When you find industrial wedding venues that appeal to your vision and aesthetic, that's a success, but remember that there are other things to consider.
What's the food situation? It's not a wedding without food and drink, is it? Check the wedding venue's options for catering or if outside food is permitted. When the location's set menu is your only option, it has to fit the bill. Food trucks are fun wedding add-ons, but without a place to set them up, people could go hungry! Accessing the trucks would be ideal from a garden room or at least the ground floor.
Does the guest list fit the space? It's good to know at least a rough estimate of the guest list numbers before choosing a venue. Go too small, and people will feel crammed in. Go too big, and the space might feel empty. Luckily, Giggster shows the capacity for each site upfront!
What amenities do you need? Weddings have special needs. Special dressing areas for the bride and groom make the day easier. Look for an existing bar area to save creating one yourself. Wi-Fi is a nice touch to distract guests during photo downtime or to run slide shows or videos.
Furnishings or no furnishings?
Decide whether you want the perfect blank canvas and prefer to bring in all decorations and furniture like tables and chairs. Or do you want the open space to be already fully or partially furnished?
How to Plan an Industrial Wedding
Although it would be nice, a wedding won't just come together on its own. Even quick civil ceremonies take some planning.
Venue First, Everything Else Later – The venue is such an important part of the wedding that you should always choose it first. Secure that industrial feel you're into on Giggster and book the most size-appropriate (and available) option. Then, it's easy to plan everything around it.
Decor Extras – Make the industrial vibes even more apparent with additional decor. Think vintage scales, reclaimed wood, and metal pieces. And don't forget the flowers!
What's the Menu? While the menu will probably contain your favourites because it's your day, explore options that might fit well into the theme. Consider how everything will be presented—buffet or table service. Hire the caterer if needed and book the food trucks. Popular ones go fast, so get on this ASAP.
A Timeline is Your Friend – Decide the timing of the ceremony, the photo sessions, dinner, drinks, and any other activities. And always have a firm idea of when the event will end so as not to go over your rental time.
Check Again – With the many industrial wedding components being juggled at the same time, always check and re-check things. Confirm all vendors and go over all aspects with time to spare to make changes or find alternate options.
Industrial Wedding Hidden Costs
While your venue might be considered a hidden gem, there are also extra costs to consider. With Giggster, everything is clear, but that's not always the case.
Is the photographer just for the ceremony?
When booking a photographer, make sure the price covers all aspects of the day. Just photographing the ceremony will leave holes in the story. Get a quote for the wedding preparation, ceremony, and reception, plus specific shots of the group in between. Expect to pay £1,500+ for a full day.
Electronic or post for the invites?
Many people forget that if you're sending out printed invitations, you also need to budget for postage. Eliminate this and send e-vites instead, and you can also save on the cost of the actual invitations and the time it takes to handwrite them.
Can you find the perfect fit?
Chances are good that the wedding dress will need alterations. This can add up to a few hundred pounds. So, don't forget to add this to the dress budget. The same goes for the groom, although these charges tend to be less. You may also want to cover the alteration costs for the other wedding party members as a nice gesture.
