What a night! Halloween (31st October) was extra special this year as I had the pleasure of providing my wedding DJ services for Emma & Ben Williams (Mr & Mrs) at the beautiful Beeston Manor, one of my all-time favourite wedding venues in Lancashire.
I’ve been a regular wedding DJ at Beeston Manor near Preston since 2010, and it’s always great to be back — but this one had a little extra twist…
Yes, it was Halloween! So of course, I couldn’t resist dressing for the occasion. I went full James Bond “Day of the Dead” style, straight out of the movie Spectre — complete with skeleton suit and mask. Guests loved it, and it definitely set the tone for a fun, lively evening!
First Dance
The evening reception ran from 7pm until 12:30am, and we kicked things off in style. I gathered guests around the dance floor to create that perfect moment of anticipation before introducing the happy couple for their first dance, performed to “Take on the World” by You Me at Six.
A brilliant choice — romantic, modern and full of emotion — it set the tone beautifully for the night ahead.
The Music
Before the big day, Emma & Ben sent me a comprehensive list of requests that included something for everyone — a great balance of wedding favourites and alternative energy!
Early on, we kept the dance floor filled with classic party hits and timeless favourites from the likes of:
Queen, Whitney Houston, ABBA, Spice Girls, *NSYNC, Shakira, Taylor Swift, Backstreet Boys, Arctic Monkeys, P!nk, Rihanna, Eminem & Ultrabeat.
As the evening went on, the newlyweds’ personal music taste came through even more with a shift into Rock and Alternative anthems — perfect for a Halloween crowd!
Linkin Park, Paramore, Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance, Wheatus, Avril Lavigne & Blink-182 — all featured in what became an epic finale to “First Date” by Blink-182.
The energy was incredible — a proper party atmosphere from start to finish!
A Halloween Wedding to Remember
From the themed outfit to the packed dance floor and eclectic playlist, this was one of those nights that had everything. The combination of Beeston Manor’s stunning setting, a brilliant group of guests, and a couple who truly made the day their own made it an absolute pleasure to be part of.
Congratulations once again to Mr & Mrs Williams!
Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding DJ at Beeston Manor — it was a fantastic night and one I won’t forget in a hurry!
