About

The Hackney Warehouse is a unique wedding destination in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We offer a variety of accommodations that can satisfy all your needs. The facility was built in 1911 and was originally a wholesale grocer that served the train that came through the area; the building has continued to serve the town as many different businesses before being renovated in 2014 as a wedding venue.

Location:

The Hackney Warehouse is located in historic downtown Murphy, North Carolina. We are about 4 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina, 6 hours from Raleigh, and only an hour from Franklin, North Carolina. We are also centrally located between Atlanta, Asheville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. The main areas we service include:

Murphy, North Carolina

Blairsville, Georgia

Hiawassee, Georgia

Young Harris, Georgia

Hayesville, North Carolina

Blue Ridge, Georgia

Franklin, North Carolina

However, we are also a perfect destination wedding spot in the mountains!

What Sets Us Apart:

The facility has been fully renovated in order to cater to any type of wedding and reception. Through the iron gates you enter the landscaped courtyard--this inviting area is a premier location for any outdoor ceremony or reception. Along with the courtyard, the use of reclaimed timber, brick, and metal in the spacious warehouse offers a combination of rustic and formal elegance. The Hackney Warehouse offers a beautiful setting in the Smoky Mountains for any and all events or special occasions.

River Station Bridal Suite is elegantly decorated to provide you with a comfortable and intimate space to prepare for your big day. Downstairs River Station includes a kitchenette area with a sink, a mini-fridge, and a wine fridge, a sitting area with a vintage train seat straight out of the historic train, a dressing area with a full-length mirror and plenty of hooks for dresses, as well as a large bathroom, to accommodate your bride tribe! The Bridal Suite is the perfect backdrop for your pre-wedding photographs! River Station Apartment is equipped with a kitchenette area with a stove, mini-fridge, sink, and coffee maker as well as a beautiful bathroom with a waterfall shower, and a bedroom. The Apartment is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your first night as Mr. and Mrs. without ever leaving the grounds!

Beautiful venue for any occasion

As a professional photographer with over forty years experience I can honestly say the building and the staff are exceptional. They bend over backwards to make sure your special day or corporate event goes trouble free so everyone has a great and memorable time. I have shot six dents there and every time it was perfect.Do not hesitate to book your event here.

Choose Hackney!

On the very first day I started searching for a venue, the Hackney had my heart for its beautiful exposed brick, and as my MOH would later mention in her toast that it is a renovated abandoned warehouse, which I adore. I told my husband that I could not even think to look at another venue before I saw the Hackney, and that was that. We met with Corie, and I knew immediately that if we chose the Hackney, I would have a stress free wedding day and that is exactly what happened. Corie and her team were absolutely incredible, and very attentive to my visions and what I wanted, and just look at how beautiful! There was also a lot of drama leading up to the wedding day that Corie just gave me a sense of peace about. All of this, and the best bang for your buck! Choose the Hackney and Corie!!!

The BEST experience ever. Corie and her team made my dream wedding really come true! From the beginning to the end they heard my ideas and helped me through all the planning and questions I had. Thank you Hackney Warehouse for making my wedding dreams come true! xoxo

Winter Wonderland

We had an amazing time working with The Hackney to manifest our winter wonderland wedding dreams. Lydia, the venue manager and coordinator, is the definition of "grace under pressure" and kept everything going along smoothly both before and during the event. I would highly, highly recommend this venue given the flexibility, the amount of pre-existing decor (ie not much to buy/rent!), and the wonderful staff. Our friends and family are used to very upscale events and were skeptical that we could pull off our black tie optional gala-style wedding at The Hackney. Not only did we pull it off, we received RAVE reviews from our guests.

We had our November 5, 2016 wedding at the Hackney and could not have been more pleased! It was honestly everything that I had dreamed of and more! Our guests are still talking about how vintage and unique this venue was! We LOVED it!!

Our gorgeous wedding venue and all the accommodations made by Ben Pierce and his staff at the Hackney Warehouse contributed to Curt and I having the wedding of our dreams. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use the Hackney Warehouse and highly recommend it to others.

Awesome experience with The Hackney. I planned this wedding from 500 miles away and they were extremely accomadating in making the day great! Tell them what you want and they will either help you find the way or just do it! Not too mention the nostalgic feel of the venue and town of Murphy itself! It was a great experience; I wish I could relive it!

Absolutely a great experience from the get go. Ben and his team were so helpful throughout the entire planning of our wedding. Especially seeing as though we live out of state. When it finally came time for the wedding, they went above and beyond to make us happy. My wife loved the way it turned out so I'm extremely happy. Great job guys.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Lydia and the team at The Hackney Warehouse are awesome to work with. From rehearsal dinners to wedding day perfection, you can't ask for a more engaged venue team. The venue is unique and a great little find in a small town! Great photography spots and the hidden gem of a bridal suite makes it perfect for a destination wedding in the mountains with a touch of industrial chic!
