My Experience as a DJ at Fanhams Hall
I've performed at Fanhams Hall 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.
A Queen Anne country house set in 27 acres of Grade I listed grounds near Ware, Fanhams Hall has the kind of character that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person. The Great Hall is the centrepiece: high beamed ceilings, lattice windows, a stone fireplace, and an original minstrel's gallery, all licensed for ceremonies of up to 130 guests. The Grade II listed Japanese Tea House in the gardens adds a genuinely romantic ceremony option you simply will not find elsewhere. Available for exclusive hire with all 77 bedrooms, it is part of the Exclusive Hotels group and comes with their well-earned reputation for getting the details right.
