Wedding DJ at The Priests House – Events DJ
Planning your wedding at The Priests House, beside Barden Tower near Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire? It’s a Grade I listed building dating from the early 16th century, standing next to the ruins of Barden Tower and retaining dark oak beams. The neighbouring restored chapel is licensed for ceremonies.
Our team has worked at The Priests House, so we know the venue and how the evening usually runs. DJ Wayne brings an elegant all-white DJ setup, a playlist built around you, and extras like cold spark fountains and venue uplighting. Get in touch to check your date.
Your Wedding DJ at The Priests House
Historic venues like The Priests House call for a setup that looks as good as it sounds. Our all-white DJ booth and carefully placed lighting sit neatly in period rooms, and we keep the volume right for the space while still filling the dancefloor.
Why couples at The Priests House choose Events DJ
- Reliable: backup equipment on every booking, and we arrive in plenty of time to set up before your evening guests.
- Your music, your way: we plan your playlist with you, including must-plays, do-not-plays and requests from your guests.
- DJ or full-day host: book an evening DJ, or our All Day Wedding Host package to run the whole day from ceremony to last dance.
- Stylish setup: a clean all-white booth, quality sound and lighting that suits elegant and relaxed weddings alike.
Timings
Our Evening DJ package covers five hours, and where your venue’s licence allows, you can keep the party going after midnight in half-hour blocks up to 2am.
Getting Married at The Priests House
The Priests House stands beside the ruins of Barden Tower in Upper Wharfedale, on the Bolton Abbey Estate between Skipton, Ilkley and Grassington. The Grade I listed building has dark oak beams and plenty of original features, and its neighbouring chapel has been carefully restored and is licensed for ceremonies. Views stretch across the valley, and with sheep in the surrounding fields it feels properly rural.
Couples have the venue exclusively. Ceremonies can take place in the Chapel for up to about 80 guests, in the main room of the Priests House or outdoors. After a Chapel ceremony, the Oak Room suits an intimate wedding breakfast of around 24, while the Chapel itself can be turned into a dining room for about 75 and an evening party for around 85. In the evening the grounds come alive with fire torches, a fire pit, garden lighting and a crate of blankets. The Barn at Barden on the other side of the Tower sleeps up to 18, and a bunk barn takes about 20 more.
How We Plan Your Evening at The Priests House
The venue keeps a clear evening timetable: the bar closes at 11pm, the last dance is at 11.30pm and carriages are at midnight, so we build the running order around those times. There is no formal noise limit, but the old stone acoustics shape how loud things can sensibly go, and we set our system up to sound full and clear without overpowering the room. Our all-white DJ booth suits the historic interior, and uplighting on the stone looks magical after dark. Fireworks are only allowed on certain dates, so we check with the venue before suggesting cold spark fountains. As your Priests House wedding DJ, Wayne will keep the evening flowing right up to that final song.
