The Evening Reception
This Is the Part Everyone Remembers
Your ceremony will be beautiful, and your wedding breakfast unforgettable. But it’s your evening reception that your family and friends will remember for years to come—the excitement of your first dance, a packed dancefloor, and the moments everyone shares together.
That’s where we come in.
We don’t simply play music; we create an atmosphere. From reading the room and keeping every generation on the dancefloor, to elegant lighting that transforms the function suite as day turns to night, every detail is carefully designed to create an incredible celebration.
As a trusted supplier at The Ravenswood, we know the venue inside out and work closely with the venue team to ensure everything runs seamlessly. By choosing one experienced supplier for your entertainment and enhancements, you’ll enjoy a smoother planning experience, one point of contact, and the confidence that every element of your evening will come together perfectly.
“Booking a single trusted supplier at a venue we know inside out means less risk for you, and a much calmer wedding day — for you and for us.”
Stress-free planning is not a marketing line for us at The Ravenswood specifically — it is the actual reason couples who marry here keep being referred to us by the venue team.
Entertainment & Upgrades
Everything You Need for Your Ravenswood Evening
Every service below can be booked on its own or combined into a bespoke Ravenswood package — most couples mix and match rather than take a fixed price list.
Professional DJ
A wedding DJ who reads the room, not just a playlist — ceremony music, drinks reception, wedding breakfast background music and a high-energy evening set that keeps the dancefloor full.
White Starlit Dancefloor
Our signature white LED starlit dancefloor, installed in the function suite. Photographs beautifully and creates the centrepiece for your first dance.
Magic Mirror
A glamorous full-length interactive photobooth that keeps guests entertained all evening, with instant branded prints as standard.
Digital Selfie Booth
A compact, all-day photo experience — guests snap, smile and receive digital copies instantly by QR code or AirDrop.
Dancing on the Clouds
A beautiful low-lying dry ice cloud across the dancefloor for your first dance — one of the most photographed moments of any Ravenswood wedding.
Cold Sparks
Cold spark fountains for a first dance or cake-cutting moment. We know exactly how to position these in the Ravenswood function suite for maximum visual impact.
Audio Guest Book
A vintage telephone your guests speak into to leave a private message — a keepsake you will still be listening to on your tenth anniversary.
Uplighting
Wireless venue uplighting that transforms the function suite from elegant daytime styling into an immersive evening celebration, in any colour to suit your theme.

Planning Advice
Tips for Planning Your Evening Reception at The Ravenswood
Choosing the Right Dancefloor Size
Your dancefloor will become the heart of your evening reception, so choosing the right size is key. At The Ravenswood, we typically recommend a 16ft x 16ft White Starlit Dancefloor for most weddings, with larger options available for celebrations of 120+ guests. Too small can feel crowded, while too large can reduce the atmosphere. We’ll recommend the perfect size based on your guest numbers, venue layout and vision, ensuring your first dance looks incredible and there’s plenty of room for everyone to celebrate throughout the evening.
When to Open the Photobooth
Open a Digital Selfie Booth from the drinks reception onwards so it earns its keep all day, but hold a Magic Mirror back until the evening — it works best once the drink has flowed and guests are ready to play up for the camera.
Using Dancing on the Clouds and Cold Sparks Together
Dancing on the Clouds during your first dance, followed by cold spark fountains as you invite guests onto the floor straight after, is the single most requested combination at The Ravenswood — and the one that photographs best.
Transforming the Room with Lighting
Lighting is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to transform your evening reception. As your wedding breakfast comes to an end, the room naturally transitions into party mode with vibrant uplighting and dynamic dancefloor lighting, creating an exciting atmosphere that encourages guests to celebrate. It’s this transformation that turns an elegant reception into an unforgettable evening, making every special moment—from your first dance to the final song—look and feel incredible.
Keeping Guests Together and the Dancefloor Full
One of the things we love about The Ravenswood is that the bar is located within the function suite, helping to keep everyone together throughout the evening. Guests can grab a drink without missing the action, creating a lively atmosphere from your first dance through to the final song. Combined with a DJ who knows how to read the room, perfectly timed music and thoughtfully positioned entertainment, it helps create the kind of packed dancefloor and unforgettable party every couple dreams of.
Why Booking Through One Trusted Supplier Makes the Evening Smoother
When one team supplies your DJ, dancefloor, lighting and photobooth, your timeline only has to make sense to one company — not three or four trying to coordinate load-in around each other. At a venue we know as well as The Ravenswood, that means fewer surprises and a calmer day for you.
