On another scorching hot summer's day I was delighted to be Wedding DJ for Tara and Jon at their rural barn celebration in the stunning Sussex countryside. The wedding ceremony and speeches took place elsewhere while the celebration took place at the gorgeous Red Barn at Blindley Heath. After a pre event consultation where we discussed various options for music I was pleased to supply:
moodlighting to co-ordinate with the bridal scheme
welcoming music for the drinks reception
MC duties
background music for the wedding breakfast
evening DJ entertainment
The full playlist for this event is shown at the bottom of the post.
