About Fordoun

I have played at many events at Fordoun over the years, and those old stone buildings still make me stop and look every time I load in.

Fordoun is a boutique hotel and spa on a working farm at Nottingham Road, built around historic stone buildings that have been there for generations. It is one of the more grown-up settings in the Midlands — less barn, more country estate.

The stone walls and beamed ceilings do a lot of the work before anything is dressed. Add the panoramic Drakensberg views from the grounds and you have a venue that photographs well in almost any weather, which in the Midlands is not a small thing.

Guests stay on site in boutique hotel rooms or self-catering cottages, and the spa means the day before is as looked-after as the day itself. Capacity depends on which spaces you take, so ask them for the current wedding brochure.

Your DJ At Fordoun

A room I know
by heart

Every photograph in that gallery is my own rig at Fordoun. Booking a KZN Midlands Wedding DJ who has already worked the room means no guesswork about power, load-in or where the sound goes.

01

Stone rooms and sound

Hard stone walls are reflective and unforgiving. The system gets aimed and tuned for the room rather than pushed, so speeches stay clear and the dancefloor still hits.

02

Working with the beams

Exposed beams and stonework are the whole look. My uplighting picks the texture out rather than flattening it, so the room still reads as Fordoun once the lights drop.

03

A hotel on site

Nobody is leaving early for the drive home. The back half of the night gets planned for a crowd that is staying put, not one watching the clock.

Sean Lumley

Excellent addition to my 50th celebrations. Jarryd worked well with the venue and required very little oversight or input from me. Took a lot of stress out of the planning. Music was excellent 👌🏻

Natascha Hartmann

We could not recommend Jarryd highly enough! He was incredibly professional, organized, and so friendly from start to finish. Jarryd played a huge role in making sure our wedding day ran seamlessly and that everyone had the best time on the dance floor. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the DJ was. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you, Jarryd, for helping make our day unforgettable!
