Clock Barn is a luxury wedding venue nestled between the rolling hills of Whitchurch, Hampshire. It is a popular choice for couples wanting rustic charm and elegance combined and as a result, confirming your date with the venue as early as possible is a must!!
Why I Love to DJ at Clock Barn
Firstly, the location and grounds are simply stunning. The venue is nestled between the rolling hills of the Hampshire countryside, meaning it is 100% private and 100% yours for the day. No random strangers traipsing past as you say your vows!
Secondly, the Main Barn is specifically geared up for weddings - not an after throught like so many venues who provide weddings on the side. This means access for wedding suppliers is great. You can have your wedding breakfast while the DJ/band is able to setup without any 'turn around time' required ahead of the evening reception starting. This means for a smooth flow throughout the day with no awkward moments. It's all too common for guests to be ushered out of the venue while a room is prepared for the evening entertainment. Thankfully that is not the case with Clock Barn!
Thirdly, the bar is in the Main Barn! Your guests will no-doubt want to grab plenty of drink throughout the course of the evening and having the bar in the same space as the evening entertainment makes such a difference. The dancefloor will remain busy the whole night, with those guests that typically like to linger around the bar being drawn into the action as their favourite tunes are played.
A Recent Wedding at Clock Barn
Chrissie and Matt got married at Clock Barn in October last year and had the best day!! One thing with Autumn weddings is the darker evenings, and from a DJ perspective this is something I love as the lighting and atmosphere just invites people to dance straight away! From the moment I played the first song the dancefloor was absolutely packed. Guests of all ages wanted some of the action and after 30 minutes of music allowing evening guests to arrive, we stepped nicely into the cutting of the cake and first dance.
Chrissie and Matt had prepared a couple of wicker baskets containing LED battons for their guests and they proved to be very popular. We had the first dance, for which I invited guests to join Chrissie and Matt on the dancefloor after a minute or so. BUT... as soon as I played the next song, the LED batton baskets were ramsacked and the dancefloor was full of exuberant family and friends frantically waving battons above their heads. It was so much fun: the pictures from the evening really do speak for themselves!
My brief for the evening music from the Newly-weds was fairly free: 'Mainly 2000s onwards crowd pleasers, with a few absolute classics thrown in'. Matt & Chrissie also gave me a short Spotify playlist of 'must have' songs they wanted played. This was an awesome brief as it allowed me the freedom to read the room, whilst knowing exactly the tunes that were special to the bride and groom. I was able to guage the tastes of Chrissie & Matt's guests, take requests on the night, mix in the important 'must plays' and also play all the tunes I know work at weddings. It made for a very busy dance floor all night!
Clock Barn Wedding DJ: Reviews
Here are a few of my recent reviews from couples at Clock Barn:
Perfect Wedding DJ!
"Steve was the perfect DJ for our wedding! Getting him booked was hassle free and the communication before the day was great. Steve was happy for us to send a list of must plays as well some other songs to give an idea of the vibe we were after. And on the night he absolutely smashed it! The music was great, mixed together perfectly, giving the atmosphere that we wanted. If you are looking for a DJ, stop and book Atmospheric Audio! Thanks Steve! Beccy & Tim x"
All night dancing!
"Steve was brilliant and kept our guests dancing all night long! I would absolutely recommend that you book him for your special day!
Firstly the booking process was so easy and Steve was very helpful in planning before the day/Flexible to tailer the music to your wants for the day.
On the day Steve arrived in plenty of time and set up seamlessly. Then from the first dance the music was just consistently brilliant and kept our guests dancing! We didn't offer too much thought on the music we wanted as wanted to leave a lot up to his experience and he did not let us down at all! Just everything we could have wanted."
Excellent Wedding DJ!
"Steve recently provided the evening music for our wedding. He provided an excellent playlist and tailored this to our tastes/preferences perfectly. He was contactable throughout the planning process and we are so happy we chose him for our special day. Thank you very much, Steve! We would highly recommend you to any future Bride/Grooms."
