Wedding venues don't come much more beautifully located than Nutfield Priory being situated on the North Downs with stunning views across the Sussex Weald towards the South Downs. Elena and Mike had asked me to supply an evening only DJ service for which they and their guests had made some great requests using the online planning system.
The evening commmenced with the cake cutting and then into the First Dance which was especially staged to have a slow opening with Frank Sinatra's It Had To Be You and then a fierce cut into Young MC's Bust a Move!!!
The evening was a great success with many attractions - SEGA games machines, photobooth, outside terraces and a mouth watering hog roast. Being it was one of the hottest days of the year the dance action came late in the evening but was excellent once started.
