Disco and Wedding Venues Update!

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

Hi all,

Not been able to blog for a while as things have gone manic! Most of the venues I have played recently I think I have reviewed, will catch up with some missing reviews when I can. I’ve been out and about at Ware, Fanmhams Hall, Hanbury Manor the Marriott Hotel on the A10. Also been over to Tring and provided a full wedding disco at Pendley Manor Hotel which was an excellent venue (even though it was upstairs). The usual spot over at Tewin Bury Farm although one of the smaller barns this time. Also been back to Spains Hall in Finchingfield Essex, lovely venue and good sound system. Oh DJ’d at Coltsfoot Country Retreat too, thanks for the Lamb shank meal, lovely!

Will review Pendley Manor and Dodmoor House in Northamptonshire shortley.

Thank you note from wedding at Three Lakes, Ware.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Hi Adam,

Thank you so much for the music last Thursday it was brilliant, everyone really enjoyed themselves.

 I’m sorry we didn’t give you much attention, the usual events manager at Three Lakes was off sick and we were chasing up her replacement for most things. The usual manager had promised to keep you fed and watered so I hope you got something to eat and drink, it only crossed my mind afterwards.

I have attached a couple of the photos taken on the night.

Thanks again

Mark & Helen

DJ’ing at Woburn Sculpture Gallery

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Once again I was providing Disco and DJ services at the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn. They had a band performing also at the wedding so I had the light show on the dance floor and tucked myself around the corner to make room for the band. Worth bearing in mind if you are thinking of having a band and disco at this venue. The band did overrun slightly but this gave me a chance to feed the carp in the lake outside, some lovely fish in there wish I’d bought a rod!
