Dry-Hire WeddiNgs
Why we Love Dry-Hire Weddings at Foil
As the ultimate in do-it-how-you-want wedding planning, dry-hire venues are hugely popular amongst couples who have a real vision they want to bring to life. From catering and bars, to styling and layout, hosting your wedding at a dry-hire venue will give you complete freedom. However, as these spaces often provided minimal facilities and services, a wedding coordinator is a real essential to make sure every element is as it should be - which is where we come in and what we love to do.
Do you have your own dry-hire wedding in the works?

Rose + JamEs' dry-Hire Wedding style:
Chic + ColouRfUl
R + J called on Foil to help transform an industrial workspace and car park in Shoreditch into a glamorous and unique wedding venue. They tied the knot with a celebrant led ceremony in the courtyard before enjoying cocktails and canapés in the interior, whilst the outside was transformed into an informal dining space complete with a wood-fired pizza van.

Our favourite dry-hire Wedding Locations
A dry-hire wedding venue is where an on the day coordinator really comes into their own. We've delivered weddings at some of the UK's biggest and best dry-hire venues and have honed our skills over the years to mean nothing gets overlooked. The amazing thing about a dry-hire wedding venue is the complete flexibility it gives to you as a couple whilst you plan (although, we know sometimes that can feel a little daunting!) and there's nothing quite like putting your own stamp on a blank space.
Rose and James did exactly that, using a private venue in Shoreditch that had never hosted a wedding before, whilst we helped them transform the space from ceremony, to dinner, to dancing with no disruption to their wedding day. We also know the importance of a solid logistical plan when it comes to a dry-hire wedding, which is why Flic and Nikolai were relieved to have us on board at Trinity Buoy Wharf, where we managed every element from the setup and running of their bar to the preparation of their catering team, right on through to the delivery and collection of their tables, chairs, flowers and more.
Ultimately, a dry-hire wedding venue can give you the most individuality for your wedding day and we love helping our couples bring that to life; leaving you to the partying whilst we tackle the planning.

S + A enjoyed a family-filled day at AMP Studios on the Old Kent Road in London. They dined out on BBQ food, a late night pizza delivery and plenty of champagne, before kicking off the party with a traditional Ceilidh dance and live music.

Flic + NikolAi's dry-Hire Wedding style:
EleGant + Modern
F+N worked with Foil for 6 months to design and finalise the plans for their wedding; they held their ceremony in the industrial Trinity Buoy Wharf, Greenwich, before it was transformed into a rustic dining setup complete with pink touches and nods to the couple's South African and Danish links. They toasted their guests with Aquavit + finished the night with a glitter bar and live band.
