Wedding DJ In An Essex Blake Hall Ongar Playlist

A Perfect Return to Blake Hall, Ongar

After what felt like forever, this was my first full post-lockdown wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to return than with Lauren and Sam’s incredible celebration at Blake Hall in Ongar.

Blake Hall has always been one of my favourite Essex wedding venues. The barns are beautiful, the setting is peaceful, and it’s the perfect place to get everyone back together for a proper party.

Lauren and Sam booked my Twilight Party Package, which includes evening hosting and DJ services, and it was such a joy to see a full dancefloor again, with smiles all around.

The First Dance

Their first dance was to “Fly Me to the Moon” by Macarons Project, a modern, soulful take on a timeless classic. It was followed by a very special father daughter dance to “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, which had the whole room cheering.
