My Experience as a DJ at South Farm
I've performed at South Farm 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.
Named the UK's most Instagrammable wedding venue and winner of the 2023 Wedding Industry Award for Best Barn Venue, South Farm has earned its reputation. An eco-friendly exclusive-use venue set in 20 acres on the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire border, the grand Tudor Barn seats up to 180 beneath stunning elm beams while five other distinct ceremony spaces give you real choice. The on-site smallholding grows produce used by the chefs, and accommodation ranges from proper bedrooms to Romany caravans and a camping field. Ten minutes from Royston Station, with direct trains to both London and Cambridge.
What Couples Say
What strikes us most about Tony is his ability to read a room. He noticed which guests were shy and crafted the interactive elements to help bring them into the celebration. He saw the energy dips and adjusted the music accordingly. He understood our nerves about being the centre of attention and positioned the activities so we could participate without feeling scrutinised. He observed which of our various friend groups weren't naturally interacting and got them involved. It's this attentiveness that sets him apart from someone who just plays music. He's a genuine facilitator of celebration.
