The venue

ABOUT HAYCROFT FARM

Haycroft Farm is on Curry’s Post Road outside Howick, surrounded by pine forest and open lawns. It feels relaxed rather than formal, and that mood carries straight onto the dance floor.

The day usually runs in three parts: an afternoon ceremony in the pines or the farm chapel, drinks and canapés on the deck, then dinner and dancing in the country venue. Outside there’s a fire pit for guests who want a break between songs.

Pippa and her team coordinate everything on the day. We’ve worked together often enough that the hand-overs between speeches, dinner and the dance floor run smoothly.

My setup

HOW I PLAY HAYCROFT

Every room sounds different. This is how I set up at Haycroft Farm, from the ceremony to the last song.

  • Battery power in the forest

    The forest ceremony runs on battery-powered speakers and wireless microphones, so the officiant and readers are clear to the back row without a single cable in the trees.

  • The deck at talking volume

    Canapé hour gets relaxed music at a level guests can chat over, building gently as everyone moves inside for dinner.

  • Working with the fairy lights

    The fairy lights set the mood for dinner, so my lighting stays soft and amber until the dance floor opens. Then the moving heads and colour washes take over.

    Jarryd is a top class DJ! From the ceremony to the reception - the timing, song choices and overall professionalism was out of this world! They made our day that much more special and kept us dancing the whole night. Thank you for making our whole experience from the planning to the last song very memorable.

    The best DJ in SA!

    Oh what a DJ, our guests still cannot stop complimenting your work. You made the night so amazing. I like how you accommodated everyone on the dance floor since it was an interracial wedding. You read the room so well and responded accordingly. Zero regrets, zero complaints, highly recommend.

    Jarryd & Emma, you two are the best! Our day was an absolute blast, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much for rolling with our last-minute changes and making everything run so smoothly. We had the best time. The Photo Booth was so special to us. We had so many laughs looking through all the photos—those memories are priceless! 😂✨ Your energy and teamwork (I guess that’s why you’re celebrating 5 years of marriage!) made everything feel effortless, and it really set the perfect tone for the day. We’d book you both 100 times over! Thank you for working so graciously at Haycroft, having vendors who know and work with the venue often and work so well with other vendors, made SUCH a huge difference to the day.

    Jarryd and his wife Emma (photobooth) were absolutely amazing! From the first time we interacted right through to our wedding day, they were there every step of the way. Not only as vendors, but as friends. It was a privilege to have Jarryd keep our guests dancing the whole night. We highly recommend Jarryd as your DJ for your special day, and definitely don't forget the photobooth, what an experience! Our guests absolutely loved it. All our love, Jaryd & Sue
