On Thursday 21st November 2024, local business, The Shack Revolution received the award for Most Unique Venue at the Quirky Wedding Awards, the UK’s only Wedding Awards celebrating alternative, inclusive, accessible, and unique wedding suppliers.

The Shack Revolution team received the award, sponsored by ‘Til Death Alternative Wedding Collective, at the National Final in Birmingham, outshining hundreds of applicants from across the UK.

The awards were judged by industry experts using a unique secret shopper method, examining their websites, social media profiles and reviews from the perspective of a potential client. The applicants were assessed on four main areas of their business – Inclusivity & Accessibility, Sustainability, Customer Service and Uniqueness.

The Shack Revolution is an urban, industrial wedding venue, formally an incredibly popular pizza and cocktail restaurant founded by James and Rich Manning.

The Quirky Wedding Awards are the only alternative Wedding Awards in the UK and are run by Quirky Weddings, who also run the Quirky Wedding Fayre and Quirky Weddings Magazine. The awards were created for the sole purpose of acknowledging the amazing alternative wedding community, who are often overlooked for more traditional wedding awards, for not only offering something unique, but also for championing inclusivity and accessibility, and helping to create a zero-judgement wedding industry.
