Heather & Benjamin’s Real Essex Wedding
A Rustic Celebration at Blake Hall, Ongar
I always love working at Blake Hall, one of my favourite wedding venues in Essex. The barns are full of character, and my rustic wedding DJ booth looks perfectly at home against the timber beams and soft lighting.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being the wedding DJ for Heather and Benjamin, who booked my Twilight Party Package. From start to finish, it was a celebration filled with laughter, dancing, and great music, everything a wedding should be.
The First Dance
Heather and Benjamin chose “You’re My Best Friend” by Queen for their first dance, a timeless song that set a warm, joyful tone for the evening.
As the last notes played, their friends and family joined them on the dancefloor, and it stayed full right through to the final song of the night.
