Faith In Strangers is the perfect spot to host your wedding celebrations. We want to help make your event a success, so please talk to us about your plans and we will be happy to help.

We offer two options for venue hire;
Full Venue
If you want to have your own DJ and bespoke food offering then you'll need to go for full hire.
Full Venue hire is available on the weekends and weekday evenings.
Capacity:300 Standing / 120 Seated
Please get in contact to receive our Venue hire info pack.
Terrace Lounge
If you're just looking for somewhere to have a party after the wedding then a partial hire of our Terrace Lounge is perfect to host your gathering. Your group can take over the large private space with two large banquet tables, soft seating and private use of the seaview terrace, whilst still having access to the main venue. Please note that will mean we will be programming the music and it's likely that there will be a public event on. Booking as early as you can means we might be able to tailor to your tastes if it fits within our music policy.
We offer drinks bundles for drinks on arrival along with various food options.
Capacity: Seated 38 or 80 standing.

We offer a selection of bespoke cocktails, often with an Asian twist such as the Sriracha Spritz or Japanese Shandy, along with most of the classics. We have access to an extensive large wine list curated through Nobel Rot. For beer lovers, we have ten rotating taps featuring local and international selections.
Hidden from the public view, journey on up the secret entrance and through two bespoke light and audio art installations (which you can customise to your preference) to an environment that’s been designed from the ground up to stimulate all the senses and interact with the audience to create that awe inspiring factor that will kick the events off with a high energy atmosphere from all of your attendees.
To carry on inspiring the energy, you could customise the playlist on our bespoke built jukebox in the restrooms.

We take our sound seriously.
The first thing you’ll notice about Faith In Strangers is the amazing views, the second might be how good the venue sounds. Architecturally designed with acoustic panelling and angled walls has created a sonically sound housing for our custom built ‘Poseidon Sound System’
The venue also hosts a unique multi-channel array set up of Funktion One speakers. 24 of them are placed around the venue which creates the opportunity to make spatial sound scapes along with separate individual outputs, evoking a sense of theatre that immerses the audience from entering the building.
What does this mean? — You’ll be able to greet your guests with pre-recorded audio content in all the different zones as you please, as your guests enter the venue, walking through the hallway, up the stairs, in the bogs and in the different areas of the main space too. Perfect for a brand launch or to intro the evening and continually engage over the course of the event.
We also have the high-fidelity audiophile Klipsch Cornwall speakers running through Icon Audio valve preamps and Dual Quad QSP power amps which create one of the most beautiful sounding set ups available, that will be built into the ‘Hi-fi Lounge’ over the next few months — for the perfect highest of quality background music, though they can also go loud if needed! — please check with us to see if this will be complete by the time you want your event.
FAQ
Can I decorate?
Depending on the decoration, we may charge extra if it requires extra cleaning. We don't allow anything that damages our interior such as blue tac or tape. We prefer to avoid the use of glitter.
Can I or my mate DJ?
Only on a full private hire. There will be costs associated with renting the DJ equipment as well as security deposits.
Can we bring our own food/drink?
Generally speaking no, but there are some exceptions (corkage on fine wine for instance), please contact us outlining your needs.
We have a fully fitted high-spec kitchen and can recommend a number of our guest chefs.
