Venue-approved

The effects I can run at Bowden Hall.

Haze, smoke and CO2 are effects a lot of venues only clear for suppliers they trust. Here is what I am approved to run, and what is not allowed.

A venue I know well

I have played Bowden Hall more than almost anywhere, fourteen nights and counting. The Lakeside Suite is a proper party room, and I know exactly how it fills.

So when you book me, you are not getting a DJ seeing the room for the first time on the day. The set-up, the timings, the way the energy carries from dinner to the last song. I have done it here before, and I will do it for you.

What I know about this room

The details that make your night land.

The Lakeside Suite is its own world

A self-contained suite with its own private entrance, bar, foyer and built-in dance floor, looking out over the lake. The whole party stays in one place, and it is licensed until 1am.

No noise limits on the floor

There is no sound limiter here, so I can run a full, proper night. I bring my own sound and lighting, set up and tested before your guests come in.

I know the room cold

After fourteen nights at Bowden Hall, I know exactly how the Lakeside Suite fills and where the night peaks. That many weddings teaches you a room.

The practical stuff

Good to know for a party at Bowden Hall.

The questions I get asked most, answered.

How early do you get there to set up?
I can get in the day before or from 7am on the morning, so everything is set up, tested and ready long before your guests arrive.
Can we have confetti?
Yes, as long as it is biodegradable. Confetti cannons are not part of the setup here.
Do they allow haze and foggers?
Haze is what makes the lighting look incredible, and I run my CO2 effects for the big moments. Heavier smoke I always clear with the team first.
Is there a sound limiter?
No sound limiter, and no noise restrictions on the floor, so you get a full-volume night. The Lakeside Suite is licensed until 1am.
Any other restrictions worth knowing?
A couple worth knowing for the styling: candles need to be the fake kind rather than real flames, and fireworks are not permitted here. Confetti must be biodegradable.
Anything to be aware of for a party here?
The Lakeside Suite is completely self-contained, with its own bar and a dance floor looking over the lake, and the hotel has rooms so guests can stay on site. Licensed to 1am for a proper late one.

Don’t just take my word for it

“We hired Dan to DJ our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Dan made so much time for us in preparation for the day with zoom calls, checking timelines and using his app. Quick to respond to emails and give his advice and suggestions on what would work best. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more. On the day, Dan's setup looked amazing and he kept the crowd going all night long - I don't think I left the dancefloor at all!!! We had a real mix of music and you absolutely hit the mark. So many comments about how amazing the evening was - even older people saying it was the best evening reception they had been to. Thank you so so much Dan for making the evening such a blast - it really was the best part of the day for us. Love George and Izzy Richards x”

“Dan was absolutely incredible! From our first call, he was super friendly and professional, and really listened to what we wanted from the wedding day. The app Dan uses is a great, and allows you to tailor those key songs for the big day. On our wedding day, Dan went the extra mile and started the night with a DJ set outside for our cocktail hour, nailing the summer vibe perfectly! Going into the evening, he had everyone dancing all night long and managed to mix in genres for everyone’s taste. We would highly recommend Dan and would give him 10 stars if we could!! ⭐️”

“Luckily came across Dan by chance on instagram, when I looked through his videos I knew he was exactly what we were looking for. Dan has an app for you to let him now if there’s any special song requests before the day and any songs not to play which I thought was brilliant. Dan also sorted our dance floor and confetti canyons which were an amazing addition to the night . Dan thank you so much! Everyone was up dancing all night . Would definitely recommend.”
