Real DJ Reviews: What It’s Like to Perform at Parkgate Clubhouse
As wedding DJs who’ve played at hundreds of venues across the North West, we always appreciate when a venue goes the extra mile – both for guests and for the suppliers who help bring the party to life. And The Parkgate Clubhouse is one of those places.
Here are some insights from DJ professionals via Needadisco.com:
⭐ The Good:
No sound limiter – That’s music to our ears. You’ll get the full experience without worrying about the volume being cut.
Air conditioned – Keeping the dancefloor cool even when the party heats up.
Ample power sockets and setup space – Great for professional lighting and sound rigs.
Friendly staff – DJs consistently describe the team here as “fab,” helpful and relaxed.
❗ The Not-So-Great (But Manageable):
The dancefloor is temporary, not permanent – but it’s spacious and placed wherever suits your layout.
There’s no in-house lighting, so we always recommend booking your own DJ lighting or asking us to provide some ambient uplighting for a magical evening look.
No haze/smoke allowed – something to note if you were planning a foggy first dance.
🚛 DJ Logistics:
Access: Pulling up outside the venue is easy, with a short walk to the function room.
Parking: Just a two-minute stroll from the venue.
Setup: The function room is upstairs, but a lift is available (with a little care required when loading equipment).
For suppliers, these are pretty minor trade-offs. What truly stands out is the collaborative and welcoming approach of the staff – something that makes a big difference when creating a seamless event.
