Statham Lodge Lymm Wedding DJ and Lighting

March 26, 2016September 19, 2017 by Gary Jones in Venues

Statham Lodge Lymm

Early 2016 we celebrated Ashley & Joe’s Wedding at the beautiful Statham Lodge in Lymm. This venue really is a perfect wedding venue for a number of reasons… It is well a proportioned period venue that is well managed and maintained. It has beautiful gardens which are perfect on a summers day. Lush greenery and various props that are idea for beautiful wedding pictures. On this wedding I was booked to DJ and provide uplighting for the room. All night I was getting compliments of how well the room looked and even the venue staff were complimentary taking pictures for promotional material. Having done this venue a few times I always find it very professional and the staff attentive. Everything is to hand all day and contained within the room so guests all stay together. There is also hotel rooms you can hire if your guests want to stay over the night.

My recommendation for this room is:

Uplighting (Choose what colour to make the venue walls match your theme)

White LED Twinkling Dance Floor or Black Twinkling Dancefloor

Dry Ice 1st Dance (Dancing in the Clouds effect as seen on X Factor)

Drapery (This adds opulance to the room giving the room a lift)

PhotoBooth or Mirror (The Mirrors are the new trend set to explode in 2015/16)

Monograms (Project your logo or Name/Initials onto a wall or dance floor)

Giant Love Letters with Heart (Mine are 15ft in length and nearly 6ft. Not the cheap flimsy ones)

The entertainment and lighting will set the scene and get it right you and your guests will have a party to remember for many years to come.

Worsley Marriott Wedding DJ – Giant Love Letters

September 14, 2015September 19, 2017 by Gary Jones in Uncategorized, Venues

Worsley Marriott Wedding DJ – Giant Love Letters

Worsley Marriott is situated just off the East Lancs Road in Worsley Manchester. I have DJ’d here on many occasions and it’s one I always look forward to working here. The venue is ideal for weddings up to 200 people and has plenty off opportunities on site and a short distance by car if you wanted some special photo’s taking on your special day. The room is clean and tidy with modern fixtures and fittings. At this reception I provided my DJ Service, Room Uplighting and Giant LED Love Letters which as you can see the room looked stunning.

My Recommendations for the Worsley Marriott are:

Uplighting (I believe this room needs this effect to uplift it)

White LED Twinkling Dance Floor or Black Twinkling Dancefloor

PhotoBooth or Mirror (The Mirrors are the new trend set to explode in 2015/16)

Monograms (Project your logo or Name/Initials onto a wall or dance floor)

Giant Love Letters with Heart (Mine are 15ft in length and nearly 6ft. Not the cheap flimsy ones)

One thing to bear in mind is the bar. When I do Weddings I usually find when the bar is not in the same room as the guests the party suffers. You get the blokes stood around the bar, smokers outside and an half empty reception room where your DJ will be trying their hardest to get the party started. It makes things much more difficult so seriously think about this before booking your venue. In terms of the Marriott I find this venue manages to pull it off having the bar in a separate room. Without blowing my own trumpet it has been when we have put in a few of our services to make the room look fab and a good quality professional DJ. The success of your night depends on your entertainment and Disco Dave for £200 ain’t going to cut the mustard. Invest in the success of your evening and you will get a night to remember.

Worsley Marriott Perfect Ending

Lymm Hotel, Cheshire for Kim and Keiths Wedding

November 21, 2014September 19, 2017 by Gary Jones in Venues

In Summer 2014 I did a special wedding for Kim & Keith at Lymm Hotel in Cheshire. The venue is perfect for a smaller weddings of 100 or less. I provided my DJ services for the evening and also my dry ice 1st Dance. The Hotel has a few areas on it’s grounds for wedding pictures and adjacent to the hotel there is a country road that offers additional pictures near a lovely farm gate with some brilliant trees. Locally there is also Lymm Damm which is another option for photographs if needed. Dry Ice is a great way to get unique wedding pictures from your photographer. It is still a rare option as most Entertainment business still don’t have or use one. So guests have usually never seen one which will give your wedding the added wow factor. Dry Ice is also great for nervous dancers as it hides the knees downwards for the 1st dance. Cost is £190 and you usually get the 1st dance plus two more effects later in the evening.

My recommendations for this hotel are :

The function room is small and limited which suits itself perfectly to a smaller wedding of 100 or less. The room would not be able to accommodate a band and lends itself perfectly to a DJ. A small White LED Twinkling Dance floor is possible at 12x12ft, Uplighting and Dry Ice. I would recommend you DON’T book LED Light Up Letters for this venue due to space constraints.

For the more intimate wedding then this venue could be ideal for you. I recommend a site visit first. Get in touch to ask me any more questions as I am more than happy to help where I can.

Mere Golf And Country Club

October 1, 2014September 19, 2017 by Gary Jones in Venues

Carla & Chris got Married in August 2014 at Mere Golf And Country Club. It’s a beautiful venue with some lovely grounds for pictures that create memories. The venue is very adaptable for party size. One point to make you aware of is sometimes there will be 2 or 3 parties on at the venue. This isn’t an issue as the parties are kept well apart but be aware you won’t have the venue exclusively. The staff are attentive and the service runs on time. I provided my full reception entertainment package and we had an awesome night with a full dance floor from start to finish…

My recommendations for a venue this size is you should be willing to go big on your lighting and entertainment as the room can carry it well. By this my recommendations would be:

Uplighting (Choose what colour to make the venue walls match your theme)

White LED Twinkling Dance Floor or Black Twinkling Dancefloor

Drapery (This adds opulance to the room giving the room a lift)

PhotoBooth or Mirror (The Mirrors are the new trend set to explode in 2015/16)

Monograms (Project your logo or Name/Initials onto a wall or dance floor)

Giant Love Letters with Heart (Mine are 15ft in length and nearly 6ft. Not the cheap flimsy ones)

The entertainment and lighting will set the scene and get it right you and your guests will have a party to remember for many years to come

The venue also has a hotel attached so be sure to get your guests rooms booked early to guarantee a room especially if they have to travel far to attend

***Update – Carla has now given birth to her 1st child!!! Absolutely made up for you both

Colshaw Hall Wedding Venue

August 31, 2014September 19, 2017 by Gary Jones in Venues

Colshaw Hall is a Luxury Wedding Venue that Jess & Rick got married at in Aug 2014. This venue is top end and certainly makes you feel like you have the full 300 acre private estate to yourself. This is a fairly new wedding venue which underwent a conversion from family home to top class wedding venue in the noughties. The standard of fit is top end and the staff where helpful and friendly. Getting married on site has some beautiful options. The gorgeous Japanese style garden features a miniature lake, complete with bridge for a romantic and intimate backdrop for a wedding portrait or an atmospheric place to relax during an event. Jess and Rick had a very young crowd attending their wedding and had asked me for a up-tempo Dance/RnB/Chart music feel. Usually this is a no no for a wedding as the guests are a big mix of ages. However, after our client meeting we came up with a plan of action on how to tackle the night. Working with a Sax player the night was a massive success and worked a treat, turning out to be one of my favourite nights I’ve done. Access for disabled guests is very good.

Recommendations – The room is a perfect size for most weddings.

Entertainment I would recommend is: Uplighting, LED Twinkle Dance Floor, Dry Ice 1st Dance, Monogram, Giant Love Letters

*** Think about the logistics!!! If you live in Manchester you need to realistically be putting on a coach for your guests to get to and from the venue. This can take away a lot of stress for your guests if they live a fair distance. You want them to have a drink and have fun. By doing this they won’t need a designated driver and will stay the full night. Also some guests may struggle with the cost of hotels and taxi fares if the venue is a distance. A coach takes all them worries away

With over 30,000 colour combinations we can certainly get an almost identical match to whatever you need. We offer two options when booking moodlighting.

Option 1 – 1 Colour in a Static Mode. This will stay the same colour to match your theme all night. £260

Option 2 – 1 Colour in a Static Mode until the Disco starts. We then control the colours to change quickly, slowly with many possibilities. They can strobe, do sound 2 light, Black Out or use a set program. £290

Get “The Look”.
