Holmes Mill
Wedding Entertainment
Set inside a beautifully restored 19th century cotton mill in the heart of Clitheroe, Holmes Mill brings together industrial character and modern style in a way few wedding venues can match. The Cotton Room, licensed for civil ceremonies and dressed with reclaimed cinema seating, sits at the centre of a wider complex that includes the Bistro, Bar & Grill and the Bowland Beer Hall, giving couples a genuinely unique setting for their big day.
Wedding Entertainment At Holmes Mill
Exceed Events is proud to be the exclusive entertainment partner at Holmes Mill, a relationship built up over years of working alongside the venue’s team. That experience means we know the building inside out, not just the Cotton Room itself but how the day flows across the wider site, so everything runs to plan without the couple having to think twice about logistics.
We’ve provided entertainment for weddings held right across Holmes Mill, from full celebrations in the Cotton Room through to receptions in the Bistro. On the right summer’s day, we’ve also taken the party outside, giving guests a drinks reception with entertainment out in the open air before moving things back indoors for the evening. Whatever combination of spaces a couple chooses, we adapt the entertainment to suit.
Our team brings Wedding DJs, Wedding Hosts, live musicians and photo booths to every Holmes Mill wedding, and being this familiar with the venue means we can recommend what works best for each space rather than offering a one size fits all setup. That local knowledge, paired with the character of the building itself, is what makes weddings here so memorable.

5* DJ and Magic mirror!
Mentions this venueWe booked Exceed events for our wedding at Holmes Mill, the booking process was smooth and plain sailing! Immediately after booking we had a first meeting booked so we could learn how to use the music portal and offered additional extras like magic mirrors, light up letters and dancefloors. Originally we had no extras but later on we booked the magic mirror after our original entertainment was cancelled and it was the most perfect last minute addition! If you are ummimg and ahhing about this, just do it! Its 100% worth it! We were contacted by our DJ Mike before the wedding, instantly we clicked with him! He understood exactly what music taste we had, asked us all the questions he needed to understand us better and was just generally a really great person! On the wedding day Mike was there on time, set up and introduced himself beforehand! He got the guests prepped and ready for the grand entrance which was just the most incredible reception we have ever had! He listened exactly to the music taste we had told him, played all the songs we asked him to play and the music was incredible! Every guest there spoke so positively of the vibe and atmosphere, was impressed with the music played and a few guests even mentioned wanting to book Mike for their parties/events aswell! At the start everyone was up dancing, towards the end (when everyone had run out of steam) the bangers kept on coming and everyone was either dancing in their seats or singing in their seats, which is exactly what's to be expected when you get married at 12'oclock! Mike kept the fun going from start to…
We used Exceed Events for our wedding…
Mentions this venueWe used Exceed Events for our wedding at Holmes Mill Clitheroe in July. From the point of booking the process was made easy. Leah set up a video call to talk us through the event, which we thought really helped in choosing to use them. We used them initially just for their DJ services, but with discussing our needs and what we wanted from our day we also added the Magic Mirror to our booking (We were not disappointed). We were given access to a client portal on their website which was really easy to navigate, and if there were not the songs listed it was really easy to just add our own requests. We had Johnny and Hamish on the day again we were not disappointed. Hamish was lovely, really friendly always smiling. Johnny took control of the evening ensuring everyone had a great time, read the crowd well and played some belting tunes. We would recommend Exceed to anyone holding an event. Thank you all for making our day one to remember!
