My Experience as a DJ at Hanbury Manor
I've performed at Hanbury Manor 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.
Hanbury Manor blends Jacobean architecture with 200 acres of Hertfordshire parkland near Ware. Three wedding spaces give you genuine choice: Poles Hall (the original chapel with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers) for a traditional feel, the Garden Court for outdoor ceremonies in a walled garden with a glass canopy for evening dancing, or the Thundridge Suite overlooking the championship golf course. With 161 rooms on site, a spa, and two restaurants, your guests are well looked after from the moment they arrive.
What Couples Say
There was something almost magical about how Tony wove our wedding day together. The love story he shared about us felt like poetry, not flowery or over-the-top, just true and beautiful. The music he chose seemed to create an invisible thread connecting all the different moments. Even the interactive quiz felt less like a game and more like a celebration of our relationships. The dance floor had this electric atmosphere that kept people moving without anyone feeling pressured. He created space for quiet moments during speeches and then shifted seamlessly into celebration. It was atmospheric in the truest sense, a mood that enveloped everyone.
