If you’re searching for a Shropshire wedding venue with incredible views, relaxed vibes and a stunning new marquee overlooking the vineyard, Hencote is one you need to see. As a Shrewsbury wedding photographer, I attended their recent Open Day as a recommended supplier and captured some behind-the-scenes photos of the brand-new marquee setup and it’s even more beautiful in person.


A Marquee Wedding Venue With Incredible Shropshire Views


Hencote has always been known for its panoramic views across Shrewsbury and the Shropshire countryside. The new marquee sits right above the vineyard, offering couples the chance to celebrate with uninterrupted scenery, golden sunsets and the dreamiest backdrop for natural wedding photos.


Whether you imagine a laid-back celebration or a more elegant marquee wedding, this space is bright, airy and blends perfectly with the surrounding landscape.

Beautiful Styling & Colours From Hencote’s Open Day


The Open Day showcased soft colours, modern textures and relaxed styling that suited the vineyard setting perfectly. My behind-the-scenes images include the little details that make the space come alive - arranged florals, styled tables and those finishing touches added.


The colours worked beautifully with the white marquee and the warmth of the vineyard outside, giving couples plenty of inspiration for their own day.

I love capturing the details most people might not notice, and seeing how suppliers add their magic, and the atmosphere that builds as everything comes together. The photos from this Open Day show exactly that: an authentic look at how your wedding space transforms behind the scenes.
