Wedding DJ at Cider Mill Barns
Cider Mill Barns is a converted barn wedding venue on the border of Shakespeare’s Warwickshire and the Cotswolds, at Long Marston Road, Pebworth. I'm Alistair Rutherford, and I've performed there — it's on my about page among venues I've already played.
I'm a resident DJ at Soho Farmhouse and The Fox at Oddington. Couples book me for open-format sets that stay quiet through the day and open up properly once dinner finishes.
Evening packages start from £1,150 and all-day from £1,750.

How the day runs
With All-day I cover ceremony, drinks, background through the wedding breakfast, a wireless mic for speeches, then the evening set in the barn. If you marry outdoors at The Summerhouse, All-day includes discreet wireless ceremony sound, then we move back into the barn for dinner and the party.
The venue’s own copy says the flexible space has room for DJ booths. I bring my own booth, evening sound and programmed lighting, and I agree the technical side with the Cider Mill team for your date.
How late the music runs
My packages finish at midnight. I have not found a published music-finish time or late licence hour on the venue website. If Cider Mill allows a later finish on your booking, a late hour can be quoted separately — ask when you enquire, and confirm with the venue.
