Tewin Bury Farm, Wedding Venue in Hertfordshire

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Today I have quoted for disco hire at Tewin Bury Farm in Hertfordshire . Over the years I have played this venue many times in the various barns. I have put together a review from my perspective of the facilities at Tewin Bury Farm Hotel and the services I can provide for this ideal wedding venue.

The Tythe Barn - Tewin Bury Farm Barns

The Tythe Barn - Tewin Bury Farm Barns

Location- Nr. Welwyn, Hertfordshire
Travel Time –  40 minutes travel time.
Setup time – 1hr.
Space for full setup? – Yes enough room for Disco service level 3
Smoke Machine – Yes
Bubble Machine – Yes
Hotel Lighting – On dimmer switches can be controlled
Room turn around time from dinner to Disco –Usually 45 minutes to an hour which is the time I can setup.
Noise / Sound Limiter – No
Layout – Bar in adjacent room to Disco, Tables around edge of dance floor,
Staff – Happy, Helpful and professional.

The party is always a success at this venue, the disco does not need to be setup early due to the turn around time. The position of the disco is usually at the end of a barn or room which works best in my opinion.

The venue has nice lawned gardens immediately outside the main function rooms with a small river/stream.

Not long ago I played Sopwell House in Hertfordshire . This is not the first time I have played the venue. I have put together a review from my perspective of the facilities at Sopwell House and the services I can provide for this wedding venue.

Disco Setup at Sopwell House in St Albans

Location- St Albans, Hertfordshire
Travel Time –  25 minutes travel time.
Setup time – 1hr.
Space for full setup? – Yes enough room for Disco service level 3
Smoke Machine – No, not permitted due to fire alarms
Bubble Machine – Yes
Hotel Lighting – On dimmer switches can be controlled
Room turn around time from dinner to Disco – I was able to setup behind closed doors which were opened after the dinner.
Noise / Sound Limiter – No
Layout – Bar in adjacent room as Disco, Tables around edge of dance floor,
Staff – Happy and Helpful.

The party went well at this venue, the disco does not need to be setup early if behind closed doors as this party was. Otherwise I would suggest the early setup option. This would add an extra charge to the guideline prices.  The main rooms at this venue can be sectioned. I have done party’s in smaller sections which has worked for less people.

The venue has nice gardens immediately outside the main function rooms.
