Wedding Singer at Hobbit Hill, Clitheroe
Your wedding.This room.Rocking.
Wedding singing, and your whole day hosted. The ultimate Hobbit Hill Wedding Party Starter.
Clitheroe sits in the Ribble Valley, right in the middle of Lancashire wedding country - couples travel from across the North West to marry here.
Hobbit Hill sits above the River Ribble at Stonyhurst, a few minutes out of Clitheroe, in 150 acres of Ribble Valley countryside. Couples marry outside in the woodland ceremony area when the weather plays ball, and the wedding barn takes 130 for the wedding breakfast and 250 for the evening. The whole day happens in one place, with the valley as the backdrop, which is a big part of why Ribble Valley weddings here feel the way they do.

Jack & Leah’s wedding at Hobbit Hill
What a day for the new Mr and Mrs Hails - 100 guests ready to party from the very first note. Jack and Leah’s wedding at Hobbit Hill was a masterclass in how to throw a party, and we had the room completely locked in. As I always tell my couples: you bring the crowd, I’ll bring the vibe. And this lot understood the assignment. My favourite moment? Handing the mic to the barman. The crowd thought he was just pouring pints - turns out he’d spent years singing on cruise ships. An absolute showstopper. Huge shoutout to the team who made the day flow, especially Chumley Films and Daisy Bell Photography for capturing the chaos.
1. Plan the middle, not just the party. Between the ceremony and the evening there are about three hours. Dinner and speeches don't entertain themselves - decide who's carrying that time before you book anything else.
2. Make the entrances an event. The walk into your wedding breakfast sets the room's energy for the whole afternoon. It should build, not just happen.
3. Give the room something to do together. A room that sings together stays on its feet together. Collective beats spectator, every time.

Straight answers
How long are you with us on the day?
I arrive two or three hours before your ceremony to set up, join your drinks reception, and run your whole daytime: intros, two sets during dinner, speeches, cake. When the day turns into the evening, I pack up and leave you to it.
Do you cover Clitheroe and the surrounding area?
Easily - I'm Lancashire born and based, and Hobbit Hill is a room I've already worked. Home ground.
What if our guests are shy?
Nobody gets singled out and nobody gets pressured. People join in without noticing they've joined in. And sometimes your guests will surprise you.
Please note:
I only take 30 weddings a year. When they're gone, they're gone.

We meet before I take any booking - at my house or online. If we're both in, you book, and a few weeks before the day we sit down again and plan it properly: the key characters, the stories, the music for your intros.
