We’ve had the privilege of playing at some amazing venues, but there’s something extra special about being the first band to perform at a brand-new spot. That’s exactly what we got to do when we played at Ivy Lodge in Cirencester for Stacey and James’ wedding!

Ivy Lodge may be new, but it’s already making a name for itself as a fantastic place to celebrate life’s big moments. With a great blend of modern design and plenty of natural light, it offers the perfect space for a wedding, big or small. The main hall is spacious with a clean, contemporary feel and the outdoor terrace provides a beautiful spot to enjoy the surrounding countryside. The whole venue has a relaxed but stylish vibe that made it the perfect setting for this special day.
Our Relationship with Yard Space Venues
We’ve been lucky enough to work with Yard Space before, including at their iconic venue, Old Gore, which has been a favorite for many of our past events. When we heard they were opening a new venue like Ivy Lodge, we were stoked. Yard Space has always delivered top-notch locations that combine style and function and Ivy Lodge is no exception. It’s always a pleasure to work with a team that knows how to create a welcoming atmosphere and provide a flawless experience for guests.
Having already played at Old Gore, we knew Ivy Lodge would live up to that same standard and we were excited to bring our energy to a new space that’s sure to be a hit for years to come.
The Music: Keeping the Party Going
As for the music, we were ready to bring the energy and the crowd didn’t disappoint. Ivy Lodge’s acoustics gave us the perfect sound to keep things lively and from the first song, the dancefloor was packed. It’s always a good feeling when people of all ages get involved and we saw everyone from kids to grandparents singing along and getting down to the beats.
We played a mix of classic hits and modern bangers—basically, everything you need to keep the party going. And judging by the full dancefloor, it was a success. There’s nothing like seeing everyone have a blast and that’s exactly what happened on this big day.
Final Thoughts
Being part of such a fun celebration in a brand-new venue was a real highlight for us. Ivy Lodge is a great choice for couples looking for a stylish, welcoming space to tie the knot and party the night away. The setting worked perfectly for the wedding, and we have no doubt it’ll continue to be a top choice for future celebrations.
A big thanks again to the team at Yard Space for always delivering venues that make our gigs even more memorable. It’s a pleasure to work with people who genuinely care about creating exceptional events.
Thanks again for having us be a part of the day! We had an amazing time and we wish nothing but happiness to the happy couple as they start this new chapter together.
And to anyone considering Ivy Lodge for their wedding, we can’t recommend it enough. It’s got everything you need for a fantastic celebration!
