I Know This Venue Well
I've worked at New Park Manor and can tell you—it's a venue that thrives on intimacy, atmosphere, and a personal touch. The layout is perfect for a flowing event, and the staff are always attentive without being intrusive.
"The moment the dancefloor lights came on and the first slideshow photo hit the screen in my DJ booth, the whole energy shifted. That's what New Park Manor is like—it doesn't need spectacle, just the right touch."

Special Entertainment Options
✨ The Selfie Wizard at New Park Manor
At a venue like New Park Manor—where charm and intimacy rule—the Selfie Wizard is a perfect fit. Here's how it works:
- Your guests snap photos throughout the day on their phones
- They upload their favourites instantly to the screen embedded in my DJ booth
- You can preload the system with childhood photos, engagement shoots, or even photos of your guests
- As the party gets going, those photos appear live—right by the dancefloor
- The result? A shared moment of laughter, nostalgia, and connection that guests absolutely love seeing (and starring in!)
It's especially effective here where the layout keeps the party close-knit—the booth becomes a social magnet.
