I Know This Venue Well
The Old Royal Naval College is a venue that sets high expectations — and I love meeting them. I've had the privilege of performing here and understand its unique flow: from candlelit dinners in the Painted Hall to high-energy dancing in the atmospheric Undercrofts.

Entertainment Tailored to the Old Royal Naval College
At a venue this prestigious, entertainment should elevate, not overpower. My role as DJ & MC is to enhance the atmosphere with finesse:
- Elegant ceremony music (including options for the Chapel or Admiral's House)
- Seamless transitions between venues using well-timed announcements
- Custom "Love Story" performances during dinner
- DJ-led games like the "Mr & Mrs" game or the ever-popular DJ Battle
- Evening dancefloor mastery in the Queen Mary or King William Undercroft
- Coordination with venue-approved AV suppliers to ensure perfect sound
