Adam & Fern @ The Clock Barn

Last week saw my first visit to The Clock Barn – what a stunning venue! It’s located on the outskirts of Whitchurch on Tufton Warren Farm, about 5 minutes from the A34 and 15 minutes from Winchester and Newbury. The service and attention to detail provided by Helen, Emma, and the Clock Barn team was fantastic.

Once again I provided music for the ceremony, you can see my laptop and controller at the back of the room (but you can’t see the speaker). Fern’s Bridal party entered to Bryan Adam’s “Everything I Do”, and newlyweds Adam and Fern made their exit to the chorus of Florence & The Machines version of “You’ve Got The Love”.

After the ceremony the guests went outside for photos with Lee, their photographer, then back into the barn for drinks before being seated for the speeches and wedding breakfast.

After the meal the Bride and Groom took to the dance-floor for their first dance, “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol.

Then the party began! I’d suggested to Fern and Adam to start a “music for our wedding” group on FaceBook for their guests and we had plenty of suggestions. We’d sat down a couple of weeks before the big day to sift through all the posts and decided what should be included, the results were fabulous and we had a great mix of rock, pop and dance. For later in the evening Adam and Fern had suggested a rave party set and they broke out the glow sticks for tracks by artists including The Chemical Brothers, Pendulum and Kasabian.

The night ended with everyone on the floor for Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” and Kings Of Leon’s “Sex On Fire” – and all of this on a Thursday night in rural Hampshire! Thanks to Adam, Fern, their family and friends and the team at The Clock Barn for a really great day.

Wedding Breakfast

Sorry I haven’t been able to keep these posts up from Kirsty and Jason’s wedding – the last week has been, well that’s just say very busy. So I’ll try and get some more pictures up before we move on to last weeks events.

The ceremony room was transformed by the Rhinefield team for the wedding breakfast.

As you can see, the setting is absolutely stunning!

I, once again, provided background music along with microphones for the speeches.

Back to Saturday’s Wedding

Here are some more pictures from Saturday’s wedding of Kirsty and Jason.

After the ceremony the guests made their way out onto the terrace and lawns for photo’s and drinks.

The weather forecast had been terrible during the week but, in the end, was much nicer than expected.

To be continued …

Fleming Park Fashion Show

You may remember I provided the music for the Fleming Park Wedding Fair a few weeks back, well here’s a video of the fashion show.

The show was put together by Valerie from VA Productions and featured dresses from Mojgan Bridal Wear in Bournemouth.

The video was shot by Video 4 a Day

Saturday’s Wedding

Yesterday I was privileged to supply the music for Kirsty & Jason’s wedding at Rhinefield House, in the heart of the New Forest.

I provided music for the ceremony – if you look closely you can see my laptop and control desk at the rear of the room – almost in the centre of this picture.

The venue is absolutely wonderful and Michael and the Rhinefield team delivered a fantastic day. I’m going to post a few more pictures over the next few days, so keep an eye open for more soon.

Saturday Night

Saturday night was great fun. The event was Carly and Christopher’s engagement party at the excellent Roddington Forge. It was also a chance for Joe to come along and play Tag-Team on the decks. We had a fine time mixing some classic hip-hop, dance anthems, current floor-fillers and a few cheesy tracks from back in the day that went down almost too well!

All together now …
“Get on up when you’re down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it’s not much, but it’s okay
Keep on moving on anyway”

Great people and good times!

Feedback …

Just thought I’d share some feedback I’ve had following a recent 50th birthday party.

“Thanks for doing a great job last week. A lot of our guests and the staff at the venue were very impressed. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and sense of fun were plain to see.

Hope to see you another time.”
