WEDDING DJ TOWN HALL hotel, BETHNAL GREEN
Joss & Rachael’s Wedding at The Town Hall Hotel: A Celtic Celebration
The Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green is a venue that blends Edwardian grandeur with modern elegance. Originally built in 1910, it’s full of ornate ceilings, grand staircases, and a timeless charm that makes it a top-tier wedding venue. When Joss & Rachael booked us to DJ their wedding here, we knew it was going to be something special—especially with their Scottish and Irish roots bringing a Celtic flair to the night.
A Soundtrack with a Gaelic Twist
Joss and Rachael both hail from north of the border but have spent years in London, and their guestlist included friends and family from all across the UK and Ireland. With such a mix of backgrounds, the soundtrack had to be broad, inclusive, and full of energy.
The night opened and closed with Shane MacGowan—a perfect nod to the Irish connection:
First Dance: "Haunted" by Shane MacGowan & The Popes
Final Song: "The Body of an American" by The Pogues
From there, it was a journey through decades of classics and dancefloor anthems.
A Packed Dancefloor from Start to Finish
We kicked things off with 70s and 80s classics—big tracks from David Bowie, ABBA, and Earth, Wind & Fire. Then we dipped into some Motown and Northern Soul before ramping up the tempo with more modern favourites from:
Sabrina Carpenter
Chappell Roan
Taylor Swift
Harry Styles
As the drinks flowed, the dancefloor turned into a full-on indie disco, with 90s and 00s bangers bringing the house down.
The Proclaimers Moment
With the bride’s family hailing from Leith, it was only right that The Proclaimers made a big impact on the night. The moment of the evening? As the clock hit midnight, the entire wedding party locked arms for a spine-tingling, emotional singalong to "Sunshine on Leith". Absolute magic.
The Highlights
Curveballs that smashed it: Fleetwood Mac – Go Your Own Way, Talking Heads – Once in a Lifetime, Mark Ronson – Uptown Funk.
Big tunes that worked: Florence + The Machine – You’ve Got The Love, Prince – Kiss, The Killers – Mr. Brightside.
Unexpected bangers: Beyoncé – Cuff It, The Strokes – Last Nite, Bwitched – C'est La Vie*.
