If you are getting married at Camp Kátur, near Bedale, North Yorkshire, you want a wedding DJ who knows the venue and knows how to get your guests dancing. Our team has worked at Camp Kátur, and DJ Wayne and the Events DJ team bring the music, lighting and energy to make your evening one to remember.
A Woodland Wedding at Camp Kátur
Camp Kátur is on the 250-acre Camp Hill Estate in Kirklington, a few miles from Bedale, and it is about as far from a traditional hotel wedding as you can get in North Yorkshire. Think pine woodland, rustic barns and a glamping village, with the whole weekend built around your friends and family staying together.
Ceremonies are held outdoors in a woodland clearing among the pines, with room for around 120 guests. Dinner and the evening move to the barns: a rustic outer barn wrapped around a converted Orangery Barn, which together seat up to 150 for the meal and hold around 300 standing. Couples can also hire land and bring in their own tipi, yurt or marquee. The glamping village sleeps up to 65 in safari tents, tipis, bell tents, hobbit pods, geo domes and a retro 1980s caravan called Betty, and there is an eco spa with a hot tub and sauna for the morning after.
How the Party Works at Camp Kátur
With most guests sleeping a short walk from the dancefloor, a Camp Kátur evening has a festival feel, and nobody is watching the clock for taxis. We plan with the estate team where the dancing will happen, whether in the Orangery Barn or a structure you have brought in, and how the space changes over after dinner. Our all-white DJ booth and uplighting look brilliant against timber and greenery, and the lighting helps the barn glow as darkness falls over the woods. If you would like cold spark fountains for the first dance, we confirm with the venue first. Choosing a Camp Kátur wedding DJ means planning around an outdoor site, so we confirm finish times and sound levels with the venue team before the day.

Your evening reception at Camp Kátur
Barn weddings are relaxed, rustic and made for dancing, and Camp Kátur is a great example. Timber beams and open spaces look fantastic, but they can swallow sound if the set-up is wrong. We position our speakers to fill the dancefloor evenly, so the party feels lively without being too loud for guests chatting at the bar.
Many barn and farm venues have sound limiters or a set finishing time because of neighbours or the countryside around them. We check this with Camp Kátur in advance and plan your evening around it, so nothing gets cut short and your last song lands exactly when it should.
