I Know This Venue Well
I've performed at Gate Street Barn multiple times and know how to work with its unique spaces — whether it's a woodland ceremony, grand entrance in the Orangery, or an epic party in the main barn.
"This venue has a rare mix of intimacy and wow-factor. With its sound restrictions, experience really counts — and I know how to keep the energy high without ever breaching the limit."
Entertainment Tailored to Gate Street Barn
Every wedding is different — and so is every venue. At Gate Street Barn, I tailor my services to complement the setting, timeline, and logistics:
- Elegant ceremony music (even in the woodland — I bring battery-powered equipment!)
- Warm, humorous hosting that keeps guests engaged but never steals the spotlight
- The "Love Story" — a custom narration of your journey as a couple, beautifully delivered
- Grand entrances with meaning and energy (no generic "ladies and gentlemen")
- Games like The Mr & Mrs Game or a fun DJ Battle
- Evening DJ sets crafted to fit within the venue's 92dB sound limiter — no drama, just dancing
I coordinate with your suppliers, keep things flowing smoothly, and make sure every moment — from speeches to the first dance — lands perfectly.
