My Experience as a DJ at Donnington Grove Country Club
I've performed at Donnington Grove Country Club many times and know exactly how to make the most of its acoustics, layouts, and vibe - especially within the ceremony and reception spaces, where ambience and lighting play such a huge role.
Whether it's setting the tone during your ceremony or keeping the dancefloor buzzing in the reception area, I tailor everything to match the feel of your day.
Donnington Grove is an 18th-century manor house in Newbury with a choice of rooms: the Kennet holds up to 100 guests, while the Cloudy and Avon suit smaller gatherings. Marquee options are available for larger receptions. The on-site hotel, golf course, and parking make it a practical choice for couples and guests alike. The varied room sizes mean I can match the sound and setup to the space, keeping everything feeling right for the size of the celebration.
What Couples Say
I'll be honest: we thought the testimonials on Tony's website were fake. I'd been dreading some gurning DJ leering over the speakers, playing the Birdie Song and making comments about the guests. When we met Tony, he asked what we didn't want before he asked what we did. He wanted to know about our first dance awkwardness, how much talking we could handle between songs, what would make us cringe. I left that meeting realising there were four hours of my wedding day I didn't need to worry about any more. The dancefloor was packed until closing.
