North Wales Wedding Venues

We’ve played across the country in fields, hotels, bars and many more. Whilst the venue is less important than the people the big day is for, they can still make a difference. Here are some of the ones that stuck out for us.

Tyn Dwr Hall - Llangollen

 
 

Tyn Dwr hall sits opposite an amazing view of Castell Dinas Bran in Llangollen. It’s one of those venues that feels like you can get lost in and has a surprise around every corner. We’re back there again this year and we are sure that it will live up to our previous visits.


Iscoyd Park - Whitchurch

 
 

Few venues boast croquet facilities. Fewer still have their own cricket club. Iscoyd Park has both and is a stunning location for any event. We have loved playing there and it feels like all the guests think they need to give it their all to match this magnificent venue! We can’t wait to be back and we’ll hopefully see Adrian throw out another banging DJ set to end the night.


St. Gwenfaen’s Hall - Rhoscolyn

 

Rhoscolyn sits in a beautiful corner of Anglesey. With little in the village asides from a pub and a church it is wonderfully unspoilt. Potentially being this far off the beaten track helps party guests lose their inhibitions as this one sticks in the memory as a wild night. Anglesey is a special island wherever you end up we’ve been fortunate to be a part of several big days there.


Have you got an event at these venues? That’s great and we’d love to be involved! Got an event at a different venue? We’d love that too! You can get in touch here.

Getting the right mix of songs on your big day can make a real difference to how your guests remember it! Through the years we’ve had countless requests and thrown our own songs in there too. Here are some of our favourites.

Jess

It’s always great when the audience know the words and sing along. My favourite is Somebody Else’s Guy by Jocelyn Brown. There’s a big note at the end of the intro that people love to try and hit!

Kris

I’ll go with an obvious one and say the Amy Winehouse version of Valerie as it never fails to fill up the dance floor. It usually falls later in the set for that reason to give everyone a lift as the night goes on. I remember it being the first song at a wedding at Holford Hall in Knutsford, though, and what a way to get the night started.

Adrian

We’ve worked on a few mashups and medleys over the last few years and the 90s dance mix stands out. It runs like a DJ set and it’s fun to see who has the stamina as it is a bit of an epic. We start with Street Player by Chicago as everyone knows the sax sample, moving into You Don’t Know Me and a few others before ending on Groovejet by Spiller. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve recently started mixing it into a Nile Rodgers medley and it means we can play a non stop mix for about half an hour.


That’s enough of our favourite songs. Why not pick your own?
