My Experience as a DJ at The Barns at Redcoats
I've performed at The Barns at Redcoats 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 creating a magical moment during your ceremony or keeping the dancefloor buzzing in the reception area, I tailor everything to match the feel of your day.
Winner of Best Barn Wedding Venue in the East of England at the 2026 Wedding Industry Awards, and it is easy to see why. Dating from 1771 and lovingly refurbished in 2018, The Barns at Redcoats combine historic charm with proper modern tech (always appreciated from a DJ's perspective). The beam-filled barn seats up to 120 for the wedding breakfast, expanding to 200 for the evening, with the quirky Cowshed Bar and wildflower meadow adding genuine character. The adjacent Farmhouse at Redcoats provides 28 hotel rooms so your guests can stay the night without worrying about taxis. Just 30 minutes from London.
What Couples Say
Where do we start with Tony?! Right from the start of our wedding planning Tony was a great help providing ideas of how to make our day special and how to utilise music throughout the day to create the picture we wanted. On the day he captured our music style perfectly, with a great selection for the drinks reception and building in some special songs for certain individuals. Then the evening dancing! Tony knows his music and gave Tony our style choices but he had free rein to manage the night. Tony evoked happy emotions throughout the night. It was brilliant. As the bride I only left the dance floor when I had to say goodbye to people. Otherwise I was happily dancing the night away with songs that I loved, I was hoarse from all the singing.
