Last night I had the pleasure of DJing the wedding reception of Megan and William Ladbrooke at Colstoun House near Haddington in East Lothian — and what a venue it is. A beautifully converted stone barn with a vaulted wooden ceiling, fairy lights strung overhead and the kind of atmosphere that just transforms the moment the lights go down and the music starts.
The Setup
The barn at Colstoun has a generous footprint which meant I could run the full rig — twin QSC K12.2 mains with dual QSC KS118 subwoofers, LED tube lights and the diamond-frame booth. The stone walls give the sound a wonderful warmth and the room filled evenly throughout. Setting up before guests arrived was smooth thanks to the excellent venue team.
The Night
Megan and William had everything timed beautifully — dinner ran smoothly, speeches were heartfelt, and we moved seamlessly into the evening dancing right on schedule. During dinner I kept things warm and conversational — acoustic covers, jazz and soul at a level that complemented the room without dominating it. Then when it was time to dance, the floor filled fast and stayed full.
A brilliant Scottish wedding crowd — guests of all ages up and dancing, the bride absolutely loving every second of it. We moved through floor-fillers, a few ceilidh classics that got everyone linking arms, and finished the night on a high. Huge congratulations to Megan and William Ladbrooke — what a night.
