My Experience as a DJ at Down Hall Hotel & Spa
I've performed at Down Hall Hotel & Spa 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.
With a history stretching back to 1322, Down Hall is an impressive Italianate mansion set in 110 acres of parkland on the Hertfordshire and Essex border. Following an eight million pound refurbishment, the hotel blends grand period interiors with contemporary comfort. Multiple rooms cater for weddings from 32 to 190, so whether you want intimate or expansive, there is a space that fits. With 98 rooms on site and a boutique spa, your guests can settle in properly. Just 45 minutes from central London and nine miles from Stansted Airport, it is well placed for guests travelling from further afield.
What Couples Say
Tony absolutely exceeded our expectations! We were worried about our diverse group of guests all gelling, but he created a wonderful, cohesive atmosphere from start to finish. He managed the room, from the wedding breakfast through to midnight, never taking a break and seemed to just do it all in his stride! It was impressive. He made our wedding feel like a real celebration with heart. Honestly, can't recommend him enough!
