I Know This Venue Well
Taplins Place is an entertainer's dream – not just for its natural acoustics and visual beauty, but for how it encourages personalised, relaxed celebrations. I've had the pleasure of performing here and love how easily we can adapt the setup to suit everything from serene garden ceremonies to high-energy barn parties.

Entertainment Tailored to Taplins Place
Every wedding at Taplins Place is a blank canvas, and I help couples bring it to life with bespoke entertainment and smooth coordination. Services often include:
- Ceremony music by the koi pond or under the pagoda
- Hosting and announcements throughout the day
- The "Love Story" – a personalised narrative shared during the wedding breakfast
- Grand Introductions for the wedding party
- Icebreakers like the "Mr & Mrs Game" or DJ Battle
- A fully curated evening set with seamless transitions and a packed dancefloor
I bring my own sound system and lighting to suit both The Old Stables and any marquee setup – and I'm well-versed in working with Taplins' power logistics and setup flow.
