What options are there for music and entertainment?
Our in-house DJ offers beat-the-market rates and will send a comprehensive questionnaire before your Wedding to make sure your favourite songs are included and the mood of the evening is set to how you'd like. If you were hoping for someone specific, we welcome bands and external DJs too.
We work with a range of other entertainers too, from magicians to dancers. Whatever your Wedding wishes, we'll do all we can to make them come true.
If you choose your own entertainment then we must receive a copy of their Public Liability insurance at least two weeks in advance of your Wedding.
