My Experience as a DJ at Camfield Place
I've performed at Camfield Place 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.
Known as the 'Home of Pure Romance', Camfield Place is a 13th-century manor rebuilt in the Italianate style, set within rolling Capability Brown parkland. Once home to both Beatrix Potter and Dame Barbara Cartland, it carries genuine literary heritage that adds a story to your day before you even write your own. The Italian Garden suits intimate ceremonies of 40 to 50, while the Main Lawn opens up for larger marquee celebrations with sweeping views across the lake. Just 17 miles from central London, this family-run estate offers something you simply won't find at the larger hotels.
What Couples Say
Our wedding day was absolutely joyful, and that's largely down to Tony. This was the second marriage for both of us and he brought this wonderful sense of celebration to everything he did. He delivered a story about us with genuine joy and celebration of our relationship. The dance floor celebration lasted all night. But more than just creating party energy, he helped create a day where everyone felt celebrated. He made our wedding day feel like what it truly was, a joyful occasion worth celebrating brilliantly.
