My Experience as a DJ at Rothamsted Manor
I've performed at Rothamsted 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.
A Grade I listed manor house dating from 1212, set in 12 acres of gardens and woodland in Harpenden. Rothamsted Manor is the kind of venue where the history speaks for itself: original portraits, Spanish Leather wall coverings largely untouched since the 1600s, and fireplaces that have warmed rooms for centuries. The Library seats 55 for intimate ceremonies, while the Great Drawing Room handles up to 80 for the wedding breakfast with views across the north-west gardens. The Orangery Bar opens onto manicured lawns for drinks receptions, and tipi marquees are welcomed on the grounds for couples wanting extra capacity. Close to the M1 and 30 minutes by train from London.

Tony was such a reassuring presence before and during our big day. He's warm, confident and without a hint of arrogance or ego. He was superb and just kept our day running smoothly and our evening party buzzing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We received loads of lovely comments and feedback. My new wife and I keep saying how lucky we were to secure Tony for our special day.
