DJ's perspective on layout, load-in, typical flow
Oakley Court's riverside location offers excellent access for equipment setup. The main ballroom has ideal acoustics for both ceremony and reception, with natural sound enhancement from the high ceilings. Load-in is straightforward with ground-level access, and the venue's layout allows for seamless transitions between ceremony, drinks reception, and evening celebration.
Ceremony to last song, discreet hosting
I handle every aspect of your day's entertainment flow. From the moment your ceremony begins with carefully chosen music, through to the last dance of the evening, I ensure smooth transitions and maintain the perfect atmosphere. My hosting style is warm and professional, making announcements feel natural and keeping your guests engaged throughout.
Music planning, must-plays and do-not-plays
Every couple has their musical preferences, and I work closely with you to create the perfect soundtrack. We'll discuss your must-play songs, any do-not-play requests, and I'll use my experience to read the room and keep the dance floor busy. The venue's excellent sound system allows for crystal-clear audio throughout all spaces.
Once the dancing starts, I focus on creating seamless energy flow. Learn how minimal mic use keeps your dancefloor packed and the party flowing naturally throughout the evening.
Practical planning notes, timings, parking, supplier access
Oakley Court offers ample parking for guests and suppliers. The venue team is experienced with entertainment coordination, making setup and breakdown efficient. Sound restrictions are minimal, allowing for full DJ setup. The venue's multiple spaces provide flexibility for weather contingencies, and guest flow works beautifully from ceremony to reception areas.
