As the day turns to evening, your reception becomes the perfect finale: a moment to unwind, dance, and create memories that will last a lifetime. At a special venue like Larchfield Estate in Northern Ireland, every detail matters – and your evening entertainment is no exception. Here’s why choosing an experienced, professional DJ like Party DJ NI can make all the difference.

At Larchfield Estate, we're always looking for thoughtful ways to evolve—while remaining completely committed to preserving the quality and tranquillity of our core offerings: exclusive-use weddings, events, and self-catering stays. That’s exactly why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Think Storage, our brand-new self storage facility, opening at the end of May 2025, right here on the estate. From the outset, our aim was to find a new venture that would help us diversify sustainably—without impacting the peaceful, private atmosphere our guests value so deeply. After over a decade of research, and inspired by a discussion during a 2022 @HistoricHouses Business Development Committee meeting, we found the perfect fit: a secure, low-footfall, low-impact self storage solution, nestled in a completely separate part of Larchfield Estate.
