Close to home, in the heart of the province

I have played six times in this area, and most of those nights had real character. At Kasteel Blauwhuis in Izegem I played two weddings and a corporate event. At club Life in Izegem I played their twentieth anniversary throwback party. At the Europahal in Tielt I played a society party, and at De Meerhoek in Sint-Eloois-Winkel a company summer party.

Getting married at a castle or farmhouse

A castle like Blauwhuis calls for an act that starts elegantly and ends with energy. During the drinks I play gently among the guests. After dinner I build the dance floor with the DJ, with the LED djembe as the eye-catcher for the first dance or the first dance set.

For local companies the same idea applies: a short, focused set after the speeches, then a party where even the colleagues who do not dance come over to watch. Read about the entrance and first dance or a gala, launch or kick-off.

How a castle wedding unfolds

At a castle wedding like Blauwhuis, the evening is often long and carefully planned. Here is how I fit in live percussion:

  • Drinks reception: a short, relaxed set among the guests, possibly with the digital instruments at low volume.
  • After dinner: the DJ starts the party and I join for the first dance or the first dance set.
  • Peak moment: a second set with the LED djembe, often with guests joining in.

With Duo Percussion or Triple Beats you spread the time across those moments. Club nights like those at Life in Izegem show the same approach works on a packed floor.

Question not listed? Send me a message.

Do you play weddings at castles around Izegem and Roeselare?

Yes. I have played two weddings at Kasteel Blauwhuis in Izegem. At venues like these I agree the playing spot, power and sound with the venue in advance.

How do local venues handle sound limiters?

It differs per venue. Ask the manager which limit applies and whether the limiter can be adjusted for live percussion. My digital percussion runs through the DJ mixer and stays within the same sound budget.

Yes. I played a society party at the Europahal in Tielt. For parties like these, Solo or Duo Percussion works well: a few short, punchy sets at the peak moments of the night.
