If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s cool, laid-back, and packed with urban edge, Heloise and Jonathan’s epic wedding at The Shack Revolution in Hereford is all the inspo you need. This venue is an absolute dream for couples who want something different – industrial backdrops, gritty textures, and a vibe that’s more “epic party” than “traditional wedding.” Throw in an emo-inspired outfit change, personal touches, and a pop-punk dance floor, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a day.
The morning kicked off at The Priory, where Heloise, Jonathan, and their crew got ready together. No separate rooms or stress – just a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere with everyone hanging out. You could feel how chill the day was going to be from the start, and honestly, isn’t that how all wedding mornings should feel?
Heloise nailed the details, leaning into the monochrome theme and her own badass style. Jonathan kept it cool as ever, and the vibe felt more like pre-gig excitement than wedding jitters. It set the tone for what was coming – a day that felt unapologetically them.
The Shack Revolution in Hereford was the perfect choice for their industrial wedding. Black corrugated metal, urban textures, and a courtyard full of character – this place screams cool, modern, and alternative. It’s not your cookie-cutter venue, and that’s exactly why it works.
Their friend Rowan led the ceremony, making it personal, meaningful, and full of laughs. Heloise and Jonathan exchanged their own vows (cue the tears), and Jonathan’s mum added an extra emotional touch by reading in Farsi. It’s moments like these that hit you – real, raw, and packed with love.
Then came the confetti exit. Imagine this: Heloise and Jonathan stepping out into a whirlwind of colour, black metal backdrop behind them, and a whole crowd of legends cheering them on. Yeah, it was as epic as it sounds.
Post-ceremony, everyone spilled out into The Shack Revolution’s sunny garden for drinks and hugs all round. I grabbed some family shots for the oldies (gotta keep Nan happy, right?), but we kept it quick so the couple could enjoy the party.
Jonathan’s speech in the courtyard set the tone for the rest of the day – relaxed, heartfelt, and full of laughs. That’s one of the best things about The Shack Revolution – you can use the space however you want. A courtyard speech, beers flowing, mates chilling in the sun? Perfection.
After the food (big shout-out to Dough for keeping everyone well-fed), we headed out for some portraits around the venue. Here’s the beauty of The Shack Revolution: you don’t have to wander far to find killer backdrops. The courtyard is packed with industrial textures, urban details, and edgy spots perfect for photos that don’t feel staged or cheesy.
But here’s where things got even cooler – the outfit change. Mid-portraits, Heloise switched into a black jumpsuit that screamed elder emo energy, while Jonathan rocked Vans and a sharp new blazer. It was unexpected, iconic, and so them. If you’re on the fence about an outfit change, this is your sign to go for it – it brings a whole new energy to the day.
We kept the portraits fun, laid-back, and real – none of that awkward posing nonsense. Just two legends embracing the industrial vibes and doing their wedding their way.
Once the portraits were done, it was time for the party to kick off – and trust me, this crowd did not hold back. The dance floor started with a huge group photo (always a vibe) before diving straight into a cover of Good Charlotte’s “Anthem” by the insanely good band One Big Reunion.
If you’ve ever screamed along to pop-punk anthems in a club, you’ll know exactly how this felt – pure chaos in the best way possible. Heloise and Jonathan’s mates were on it, throwing shapes, jumping around, and belting out every word. Shoes were off, ties were loosened, and the energy was unreal. The Shack Revolution turned into a full-blown emo revival, and the party didn’t stop until 2am.
Heloise and Jonathan’s wedding proves that you can have an epic wedding at The Shack Revolution and here’s why it’s one of Hereford’s coolest venues for couples who want something bold, modern, and a little bit edgy. The industrial setting, courtyard space, and laid-back vibe give you so much freedom to make the day your own. Whether you’re going for a monochrome theme, urban portraits, or a pop-punk dance floor, this venue has you covered.
From the chilled morning at The Priory to the black jumpsuit outfit change and the Good Charlotte-fuelled dancefloor, Heloise and Jonathan’s day was a masterclass in doing things differently. They ditched the rulebook, embraced the industrial vibes of The Shack Revolution, and threw a wedding that was equal parts personal, stylish, and fun.
