Choose the energy for your evening.

Your wedding DJ

Start with your first dance and music brief. The DJ connects your favourite styles with the songs that work for your guests, keeping the set moving as the room changes.

DJ & live bongos

A line-up we have supplied for a Houchins wedding. Live percussion adds another layer to selected DJ tracks, with the music continuing between the live sets.

Add sax or vocals

Discuss a saxophonist, singer or a larger live combination if that suits your plans. The artists and performance format are agreed in advance, subject to availability.

White DJ booth with line-array sound system and wedding lighting setup

State-of-the-art equipment, planned for your venue.

We use professional sound and lighting equipment chosen around the room, guest numbers and the way you want the wedding to feel. The result is clear sound, controlled lighting and a setup that sits cleanly within the venue.

Options include white line-array audio, moving heads, wash lighting, LED pixel effects and ambient uplighters. Your proposal confirms the exact equipment, access and setup for your wedding.

Discuss your wedding setup

A party built around your guests.

House and garage can sit alongside family favourites.

A Houchins wedding can bring several generations together on the dance floor. Share the tracks that matter to you, any requests from your guests and the songs you do not want played. The DJ uses that direction to mix between genres and respond to the room. If you choose live bongos, we plan the sets around the music and key moments, rather than stopping the party for a separate performance.

Ready for the evening in the dance barn.

Houchins has a dance barn adjoining its dining barn. Its published guidance asks bands and DJs to set up during the wedding breakfast. We agree access and setup with the venue team around your running order, then confirm the first dance, live sets and final song. For ceremony or outdoor music, discuss the venue's current sound policy before choosing coverage. Houchins currently restricts amplified outdoor music after the ceremony; we confirm the arrangements for your date.
