• 🎧 DJ Blog – Weddings at Fanhams Hall, Ware

    “Elegant Surroundings. Great Sound. A Venue We Love to Play.”

    If you're looking for a stunning Hertfordshire wedding venue with serious wow factor, Fanhams Hall in Ware should definitely be on your shortlist. As a regular wedding DJ here, I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite venues to perform at — both for its beauty and how well it works logistically for entertainment setups.

    🌿 The Venue

    Set in 27 acres of formal gardens and manicured grounds, Fanhams Hall is a Grade II listed Jacobean mansion that blends classic charm with contemporary style. The setting is picture-perfect no matter the season — from spring weddings with blossom-covered walkways to cosy winter receptions with candlelit corners and roaring fireplaces.

    Inside, the venue offers a great mix of elegant rooms, all with unique character. Whether you're tying the knot in the Long Gallery, dining in the Great Hall, or partying the night away in the Lakeside Pavilion, Fanhams has a layout that suits every wedding style.

    🎧 From a DJ's Point of View

    As a wedding DJ, there are a few key things I look for in a venue — and Fanhams Hall ticks all the boxes:

    • ✅ Helpful and professional staff – Always welcoming and on the ball

    • ✅ Smooth access and load-in – No awkward stairs or long hauls

    • ✅ Ample space for setups – Whether it's a small rig for a more intimate room or our full XL package in the Pavilion, everything fits beautifully

    • ✅ Great acoustics – The rooms sound great without needing overpowering volume

    • ✅ Flexible lighting options – We’re able to use our full intelligent lighting and uplighting packages to enhance the atmosphere

    One of my favourite things about Fanhams is that no two weddings are quite the same — the layout and options allow couples to really personalise their day, and we always adjust our setup accordingly.

    💡 Popular DJ Setups at Fanhams Hall

    We’ve provided all of our core packages here, but some of the most popular options at Fanhams include:

    • Silver Package #2 – Our elegant mirror ball lighting looks amazing in the older rooms

    • Silver XL – Perfect for the Lakeside Pavilion, with vibrant lighting and personalised effects

    • Wireless uplighting upgrades – These really bring the rooms to life, especially at dusk

    • Name projection & Love Heart Gobos – A subtle way to add a personal touch to your dance floor visuals

    As always, couples can customise the playlist and lighting to match their vibe — whether you’re after Kisstory bangers, 80s soul, UK Garage, or something totally different.

    📷 A Beautiful Place for Photos (and Video)

    Another reason we love playing here? It photographs incredibly well. The gardens, staircases, and even the DJ setup areas provide amazing backdrops for photos and videos. We always aim to capture content (with permission) so couples can see how great the lighting and dance floor looked on the night.

  • “What wonderful company. The two djs that were at our wedding were not only professional with the way they mixed but all aspects of lighting and set up were covered. Everyone enjoyed the music and they really played to the crowd! Even for our first dance which was "seal - kissed by a rose" they had rose lights circling around us on the dance floor! Thank you so much we rate you highly and will be using you again and telling everyone about you x.”
